Any good ante-natal yoga/pilates classes?

[Sabs1981]

Hi,

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and was looking for either a yoga or pilates class for pregnant women, preferably in the Clapton area, to go to after work or on weekends.

Anyone know of any classes? and any other exercise classes suitable for pregnant women

I never got round to going when I was pregnant so I can't say if they were actually any good, but these 3 looked nice:

Yoga Home in Stokey

Yoga Place in Bethnal Green Road

Holistic Health in Broadway Market / London Fields

I went to some great yoga classes with Jessica James but this is linked to a series of antenatal classes so may not be suitable for you but they are based in Stoke Newington so not too far from Clapton.

If you haven't found any antenatal classes get in touch with Bridget Baker in London Fields area.

Hi,

sabs, did you end up attending some classes? I've just moved to clapton and would like to find a good yoga/pilates place as well so would appreciate it if you could let me know if you found something nice nearby..
thanks

sergea i found these places www.yogahome.com which is in stoke newington and www.thehealthworks.co.uk/index.php which is in walthamstow but i have been so busy with work etc that i havent actually started any classes! plus they are a bit pricey and i need to see which classes fit into my daily schedule, what with work and life after work! But i have taken up swimming at clissold leisure centre who have a womens session on saturdays from 4pm - 5.30pm, so that is the only form of exercise (apart from walking) which i am undertaking at the moment!

How are you finding clapton? I'm not sure whether you mentioned whether you are pregnant or not... If you are not, then I think Kings Hall Leisure centre in clapton have yoga or pilates classes anyway. Check out www.gll.org/centre/kings-hall-leisure-centre.asp

Pilates Living opposite Clissold Park does a great antenatal class on Monday at 6.45pm and Sunday at 11.10am. The classes are a combo of breathing, alignment, pelvic floor and a good workout for a mum to be!
