Prenatal Yoga

Yoga for pregnant women combines yoga postures and movements, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation in a unique way. It holistically and mindfully promotes the overall health of mother and child, has an energizing and relaxing effect. This improves your flexibility and mobility during pregnancy, promotes optimal fetal positioning and bonding with your baby, and helps you gain confidence for birth. The exercises are anatomically and physiologically sound and adapted to the needs of pregnant women. They calm the mind and emotions, release tension, and renew energy.

Yoga is the ideal accompaniment to the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy and early motherhood. Yoga promotes mental and physical well-being and helps you find peace, strength, and balance.

Our prenatal yoga classes are suitable for women in their second or third trimester (between approximately 14 and 40+ weeks). Pelvic floor exercises, mudras (finger yoga), and body loosening and relaxation are part of the classes. In addition to asanas to stretch and strengthen your muscles, you'll learn breathing techniques and the principles of Nada Yoga, which incorporate sound and vibration.

Pregnancy Yoga according to BIRTHLIGHT Yoga is gentle and safe for all women, suitable if you're completely new to yoga and equally beneficial if you have years of experience. The movements are flowing and rhythmic and have been carefully designed to build awareness, endurance, and strength in specific muscle groups while promoting stretching and relaxation in others. Our routines are carefully balanced between activity and relaxation.

The course leader, Julia Krusche, is a pre- and postnatal yoga teacher certified by Birthlight UK (YogaAllianz UK). The foundation of the classes combines Western anatomical and physiological knowledge with knowledge of traditional yoga practice and Ayurvedic teachings.

During the second and third trimesters, a strong focus is on supporting birth preparation. Therefore, we also offer a separate birth preparation course that you can attend with your partner.

Julia has been teaching Ashtanga Yoga and Birthlight Yoga in Berlin for over 10 years.

Let her guide you through these wonderful hours.
