This weekly Pregnancy Yoga & Connection Circle is open to those currently pregnant and new with babies that are looking to honour themselves their babies in body, breath, strength, information, nurturing, connection, sharing, and support.
For those pregnant, it is an environment where you can tune-in to your baby and the journey that is unfolding and make conscious decisions about the directions you take.
For those going through the 4th trimester, this is an opportunity for some post-natal 'you-time' of movement and meditation.
All sessions include an optional connection circle after the yoga that is rich in what you share, question and receive.
Classes combine gentle postures, breath work, meditation and relaxation giving you tools to improve your sense of well-being and calm, reducing stress & anxiety.
Held by Katie Ferguson (prenatal Yoga Instructor) and Jo Askham (Childbirth Educator, Doula & permanent student of birth) in a gentle organic way. We will endeavour to address any concerns, feelings and questions that are brought into the class and circle with options, honesty and compassion.

What others have to say

'Thank you so much to both Katie and Jo for facilitating such a beautiful and nurturing space during my pregnancy. About half of the sessions were in person and half over Zoom due to Covid but they were able to continue to provide a supportive environment online. Katie’s yoga was strong and challenging but empowering and helped me connect to my baby. The circle provided me with a great sense of connection and community that was otherwise lacking due to covid. Jo’s knowledge was incredibly helpful and reassuring and empowered me to be much more assertive about my own health care decisions for myself and my baby. 
I really valued this class each week throughout most of my pregnancy up until 39 weeks and would recommend it to anyone who is pregnant. 
Thank you both for your honesty, humanity, vulnerability and generosity. ' - Andrea
'Thanks again for the lovely space you both have created for us pregnant mums.  I really valued the classes!' ~ Megan
'Katie’s prenatal yoga classes have been so supportive and nourishing, particularly when I was having difficulty motivating myself to take proper care of myself. Katie provides guidance, through movement and meditation, that really helps me with my energy levels for the week. I always feel more aligned, centred and happy after her classes! Also, coming into a practice space with other women who are also pregnant (or who have been) has helped me feel more comfortable in my skin. The connection with the group has given me so much confidence in my journey of pregnancy and birth. Coupled with delicious tea and circle chats after yoga, I couldn’t think of a better start to my week! Thank you 🙏✨' ~ Rebecca
'...I was thankful for Jo’s advice not to wait TOO long to go into hospital, we got there and were probably there about an hour before I said I felt like I needed to push....Thank you both so much for your yoga and birth circle!' ~ Rose
'Thank you for the wonderful Yoga practice and birth circle during pregnancy' ~ Katherine (after her after her 3hr, 4.2kg baby.)
