Prenatal Yoga Classes in the UK
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.
The UK is the easiest overseas timezone we teach into, and British families make heavy use of that. A 4:30 PM class in London is 10 PM in Bengaluru, so we can offer weekday after-school batches to the UK that simply are not possible for North America.
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 the UK
Live classes on GMT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
After-school weekday batches, 4:30 to 6:30 PM UK time, are the most popular option and the reason many UK families choose us. Saturday morning batches run as well. The clock time we quote is your local one, and it holds through the BST and GMT switch.
London and the surrounding counties lead, with Harrow, Wembley, Croydon and Slough the areas we hear from most, followed by Leicester, Birmingham and Manchester.
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
Slow breathing practices to use when you feel anxious or tired

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 GMT, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“Timezone was our biggest worry. Smriti Samskara made it effortless, the Mahabharata class fits perfectly into our London evenings, and the storytelling quality is simply exceptional.”
