Prenatal Yoga Classes in Japan
Pregnancy yoga that changes as your body does
The body at twelve weeks and the body at thirty-four weeks need very different classes. Prenatal yoga here is planned trimester by trimester: gentle movement and rest while energy is low early on, more space and support as the bump grows, and breathing and relaxation throughout. It runs only with your obstetrician’s go-ahead.

Pregnancy yoga that changes as your body does
A regular yoga class, even a gentle one, includes lying on the belly, deep twists, hard core work and long periods flat on the back, many of which are unsuitable in pregnancy. Following a video means guessing which to skip. In this track the mentor knows your stage and any advice from your doctor, and every pose is chosen for it.
Most Indian families in Japan live in Tokyo, many around Nishikasai in Edogawa, where IT professionals began settling around the turn of the millennium; Kobe has an older community of Gujarati and Sindhi merchant families. Children here are often in Japanese or international schools, fluent in two or three languages already, and remarkably good at the disciplined repetition shloka learning asks for.
Unsafe positions such as belly-down poses and deep twists left out
Supported poses using a chair, wall, cushions and bolsters
Breathing and relaxation practices for calm through pregnancy
Practise at home, without travelling to a class while pregnant
Batch timings for Japan
Live classes on JST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Japan is three and a half hours ahead of India and does not observe daylight saving. A 6:00 to 7:30 PM weekday class in Tokyo is 2:30 to 4:00 PM in India, and Saturday morning JST batches are the Indian early morning. Both work without strain on either side.
What you walk away able to do
A safe, gentle routine suited to your current stage of pregnancy
Comfortable positions for rest when the body feels heavy
Awareness of which movements to avoid, and why

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us who the class is for
Call or WhatsApp us and say who is joining and where they are starting from. For prenatal yoga classes that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to their age, body and experience.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with you for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class and batch of ours.
3. Pick a slot that fits your week
We place you in a batch scheduled for JST, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“The Ramayana classes are the highlight of my daughter’s week. She now teaches us the values she learns. As NRI parents in Dubai, this connection to our culture is priceless.”
