PREGNANCY YOGA
Twelve Moons Pregnancy Yoga is a lovely way to support your body through the changes of pregnancy, while preparing emotionally and physically for birth and new parenthood, AND making some great new friends while you are at it.
​Meet Victoria Louise – Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga Teacher
Victoria Louise is a dedicated yoga teacher passionate about empowering women at every stage of womanhood through yoga movement, mindfulness, and compassionate care. With a strong foundation in pre and postnatal yoga and pelvic health, Victoria creates nurturing space where every individual feels seen and supported. This individualised care, delivered within a group setting, is at the heart of her approach.
PHYSICAL
Twelve Moons Pregnancy yoga has been designed to gently strengthen and stretch the body in order to soothe common pregnancy aches and pains like pelvic girdle pain and back ache. Victoria is a Poppy Perinatal Yoga and pelvic health specialist, and her classes are designed to soothe common pregnancy aches and pains, like Pelvic Girdle Pain and Sciatica, as well as prepare and balance the pelvis for the rest of pregnancy, birth and beyond.
There is no need to have taken any yoga classes before, beginners are very welcome and will be guided through everything, with modifications where necessary.
​
EMOTIONAL
Twelve Moons Pregnancy Yoga provides a safe and judgement free space to share both the good, and not so good sides of pregnancy. We start each class with a short meditation and breathing exercise, and end each class in a ten minute relaxation. These mindfulness and relaxation tools are an essential part of your pregnancy and birth wellness toolkit, as they are amazing for calming the nervous system, and keeping the stress response system at bay. Pregnancy can be a stressful time and taking this time for yourself, every week to relax and unwind can massively improve your mental wellbeing as a whole.
SOCIAL
Each Pregnancy Yoga class begins with an informal sharing circle, where we go round and talk about how we are getting on that week. There is absolutely no pressure to share if you don't want to, but you are always welcome to offload or vent about the challenges of pregnancy in a safe and judgement free space.
For each block of classes, there is a group Whatsapp, in which you can share and chat more, or organise meet ups within the group. Many great friendships have been made in Twelve Moons Yoga classes, and my aim is to create local communities of likeminded parents who can support each other through the sometimes rough road of becoming a parent.

BIRTH EDUCATION
For those who are interested, there will be a Free Hypnobirthing Session with Twelve Moons Founder Amy, in each block.
You will come away with some great tangible birth tips as well as some more information on Hypnobirthing and how it can help you to have a confident and powerful birth experience.
