Prenatal Yoga and Pilates Class

Celia is now on a maternity leave but our prenatal Yoga and Pilates class will resume again from next term, Monday 25th February 5:00 -6:00 pm with Leonora. She has covered for Celia many times and is very familiar with the class.

Leonora has been teaching yoga for 20 years and she has taught in many different contexts including: group classes, corporate Yoga, festivals, retreats, workshops, one to one, as well as mentoring and teaching on 200 hour recognised teacher training courses.

Her teaching style is deeply influenced by mindful movement practices and has a strong focus on embodied awareness and personal inquiry. This class will focus on building strength and control in the pelvic floor muscles to prevent incontinence and prepare for birth. It will also include breathing techniques to reduce stress and promote relaxation. If your looking for a small friendly pregnancy class with expert guidance, this will be perfect for you!

Weekly Prenatal Yoga and Pilates Class

We are starting a weekly prenatal Yoga and Pilates class on Mondays at 5-6pm at the Bristol Yoga Centre. This is a unique pregnancy class in which the positive benefits of both yoga and Pilates are combined to promote health and wellbeing.

Celia is a chartered physiotherapist with over 11 years experience and a special interest in women's health.  She undertook postgraduate Pilates training through the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute, and then further training, with the same organisation, in pre and post natal Pilates. Celia is also a yoga teacher and undertook pregnancy yoga teacher training at The Yoga Campus in London.

Pilates targets the exact muscles and functions that can become problematic during
pregnancy and in the postnatal period, in a safe way. Yoga techniques, including breath and movement, aid relaxation and help maintain a healthy mind during this time of change.
