mamashanti's prenatal yoga classes are all about taking the time to make your experience of pregnancy more comfortable and joyful. It's about consciously connecting with your growing baby and learning practical ways to move, breathe and stretch to help prepare you for the experience of childbirth and motherhood beyond.The mamashanti approach to prenatal yoga is eclectic, warm and truly heart-centred. Classes are flowing, integrating movement with breath and intention to awaken the inner light within us all.
These prenatal yoga classes draw upon the rich tradition of the restorative model of yoga. This means that we use lots of props – blankets, bolsters and chairs to bring the full experience of each asana (stretch) within everyone's reach. As a highly modified form of yoga, these classes are not about what you can't do , but all about all that you can do . In class, you'll learn what you can do to
- relieve back pain
- manage anxiety
- improve your breathing and digestion
- encourage optimal fetal positioning in preparation for labour
- create a real sense of joy in your own capabilities!
All this comes together to make the connection to yoga very relevant to modern pregnancy and parenting.

mamashanti mother peace yoga is my Melbourne based school dedicated to bringing the joy of yoga to pregnant women and their partners. mama shanti was conceived in the early years of my yoga practice, nurtured through my study of yoga and then borne from the intimate learning that came from my experience of motherhood.
It is my hope that with regular practice you will come to experience the way yoga awakens with in each of us our unique and infinite capacity for unconditional love, compassion, creativity and joy. Qualities we need at all times through life, and especially as we take our early steps on the gloriously winding path of parenthood.OM shanti
