Not sure if it’s for you? Here are a few FAQs…
• What is it?
Classes are specialised for birth, the yoga is safe for you and baby and designed to help you prepare for birth, meeting your baby and the postnatal period. We cover active birth positions, breathing techniques and what to expect during and after labour.
• When should I start coming?
I recommend coming from after your first scan and you can do right up to (and during) birth.
• Is it safe to do? I’ve never done yoga before?
Yoga is safe for pregnancy and will help your body to stay strong and you to feel in control. I am a fully trained yoga teacher and have done additional specialised training in pre and postnatal yoga, so you are in very safe hands. You don’t need any experience of yoga, it’s designed for beginners.
If you are still unsure, always seek advice from your GP or midwife.
• How much is it?
Classes are £12 PAYG or £55 for 5 and there's no time limit on when to use them.
• How do I book?
All bookings are online www.tessaclemsonyoga.co.uk/classes
• What if I’m tired and want to do it from home?
You can join online via Zoom or in the studio.
• Where is the studio?

• Do I need a mat?
I have mats to borrow, or you can bring your own.
• What should I wear?
Anything comfy! Leggings/joggers. Bring a drink too if you’d like.
• Do you have anything for my birth partner to get involved with too?
Yes. I also run positive birth workshops for you and your birth partner to come to and we have an Infant Feeding Sessions monthly. Mini First Aid Lancashire have monthly sessions at the studio and are available to book via their website Mini First Aid Lancashire . We also have the amazing Hypnobirthing teacher/midwife Jennie running sessions from the studio, so lots of families do both yoga + Hypnobirthing @jentlehypnobirthing
• Do you have anything for once baby has arrived?
Yes. We offer Baby Massage classes, this not only relaxes baby, but it's a great opportunity for bonding plus you get to meet a lovely group of like-minded mums. Sessions finish with a brew and biscuits so that everyone can have a catch up.
Also, Mum and Baby Yoga which helps your body gently recover and strengthen after birth. Classes start with a short massage for the baby so that they are relaxed and calm as they watch you work through a series of movements and flows to help you ease aches and pains.
We also arrange Mum and Baby meet ups, themed Baby Parties (e.g. Halloween, Christmas, Easter) throughout the year.
