Postnatal Yoga Auckland
Restore your body, reconnect with yourself & enjoy yoga with your baby
Congratulations on your new arrival!
The early months of motherhood are a time of huge change — physically, emotionally and mentally. Our Postnatal Yoga classes offer a supportive space where you can gently move, rebuild strength and connect with other mums while spending time with your baby.
Our baby-friendly yoga class is designed especially for new mums and is suitable from 6 weeks postnatal onwards (once you have received clearance from your doctor or women’s health physiotherapist).
Join us every Tuesday 10.45am
A gentle return to movement after birth
Postnatal Yoga focuses on supporting your body as it recovers from pregnancy and birth.
Through gentle yoga poses, mindful movement and breathing techniques, we’ll help you reconnect with your body, release areas of tension and gradually rebuild strength.
Classes include movements to support:
Upper body opening and releasing shoulder tension from feeding and carrying your baby
Gentle pelvic alignment and mobility
Pelvic floor awareness and strengthening
Deeper core connection and postural strength
Relaxation and stress relief
Bring your baby along and enjoy a welcoming, no-pressure environment where feeds, cuddles and baby moments are all part of the experience.
Benefits of practising yoga after pregnancy
Regular postnatal yoga practice may help you:
✓ Improve posture and spinal alignment
✓ Relieve common new mum discomforts including sore backs, tight shoulders and neck tension
✓ Support pelvic floor awareness and rebuilding strength
✓ Learn breathing techniques for relaxation and nervous system support
✓ Improve circulation and body awareness
✓ Strengthen the postural muscles needed for motherhood
✓ Reconnect with your deeper abdominal muscles
✓ Support gentle recovery following abdominal separation (diastasis recti)
✓ Reduce stress and create time for yourself
A space for you and your baby
Motherhood can feel all-consuming, and it’s important to have time to care for yourself too.
Our Postnatal Yoga classes are designed to help you slow down, move safely and connect with a community of other new mums who understand this stage of life.
Your baby is welcome throughout the class — there’s no expectation for your little one to be quiet or still. Feeding, cuddles and settling breaks are all part of the experience.
What to bring
We provide everything you need for class, but we recommend bringing:
A sling, carrier or capsule for your baby (especially as our studio is located on the first floor)
A muslin or blanket
A few favourite toys for your little one
Please note:
Our studio is located on the first floor of the building. Prams can be tucked away under the stairwell at your own risk, however we recommend bringing bub in a sling, carrier or capsule where possible.
