Marrying fascial integration with traditional yoga, pranayama and meditation, this class will journey you back to the essence of self in a supported, nurturing space.

MPYT’s prenatal yoga is designed to support pregnant women from 12 weeks onwards to help prepare Her for labour and navigate pregnancy with more ease and comfort. This class incorporates pelvic floor integration and functional movement with traditional yoga in a smart, safe and supported sequence. A practice deeper than strengthening only the physical body, this class will shift you into a relaxed and informed state of mind, teaching you breathing and relaxation techniques to take with you off the mat and prepare you for labour. 

Fem-in-yin 

Yin yoga is a static practice that merges principles of Daoist Yoga (working with the meridians of Chinese medicine) with traditional yoga (working with the energetic mapping of the Chakra system) to create a grounding, nourishing and supportive practice. The shapes are generally held for 3 to 5 minutes to release deeply and bathe the connective tissue of the body with essential fluids required to lengthen, strengthen and support the joints. MYPT’s signature yin yoga class has a focus on the feminine nature of the practice and is open to both men and women. 

Mindful Pregnancy Yoga Training

Amanda and Phoebe have had 20 wonderful years’ experience in their industries fuelled by a passion for women’s health and healing. They have combined their knowledge to form a practice that teaches women on finding their inner goddess and learning the power of the female body, mind and spirit. Steeped in the wisdom of yoga, traditional Chinese medicine, MYPT’s classes are based on modern research, clinical experience and knowledge from the obstetric, midwifery and physiotherapy community.
