Gentle Prenatal Yoga Classes in Powai for a Balanced Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a sacred time to pause and tune in. Join our small, supportive prenatal cohorts in Powai to build strength, manage discomfort, and prepare for birth with mindful movement and breathwork.
This video shows a glimpse into the flow of a typical class, from dynamic movements like Downward-Facing Dog variations to restorative poses. Each movement is chosen to safely build strength and create space in your body.
Expecting mothers practice Trikonasana, or Triangle Pose, in our sunlit studio. This standing pose is wonderful for creating length in the side body, opening the hips, and building stability in the legs.
Together, we practice Setu Bandhasana, or Bridge Pose. This asana is excellent for strengthening the pelvic floor, glutes, and back, which provides essential support as your belly grows.
A moment of surrender in Balasana, or Child's Pose. This is a grounding posture I incorporate into every class to give you a chance to rest, connect with your breath, and release tension in your lower back.
Here, we are practicing the arm variation of Gomukhasana, or Cow Face Pose. This is a fantastic shoulder stretch that helps to relieve the upper back and neck tension that often accompanies pregnancy.
The joy of Ananda Balasana, or Happy Baby Pose. This gentle hip opener helps to release the lower back and sacrum, and it’s a playful way to connect with a feeling of ease and contentment.
In this class, we explore a seated wide-legged stretch to open the hips and inner thighs. You can also see how we welcome mothers joining online, ensuring everyone can be part of our community.
About this collection
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all routines. In our small batches, we use bolsters, yoga wheels, and wall support to adjust poses to your specific trimester. Whether you are dealing with pelvic girdle pain or just need to open your hips, I modify every asana so you feel supported, never strained.
More Than Just A Workout
Pregnancy is a wild ride, and my approach is to treat it as a sacred reset button. This isn't about fitness goals or hitting the perfect pose. It is about understanding what your body needs at this specific moment. We use props like bolsters, pillows, and yoga wheels to support your belly and back, making sure you can safely build strength without pressure.
Preparing for Birth
We do more than stretch. We practice breathwork (pranayama) that you can actually use during labor to stay calm. We focus on pelvic floor health, using poses like Malasana, to prep your body for delivery. I also teach gravity-assisted wall yoga to help with the swelling that often comes in the later stages.
A Supportive Community
You’ll find a space in Hiranandani Gardens where you aren't just another pregnant student. You’re part of a small, 8-12 person cohort. We celebrate the breakthroughs, we share the 'screaming thighs' moments, and we create a village. Even after the baby arrives, our postnatal recovery focus ensures you aren't left on your own. Thoda patience rakho—we rebuild your strength gently, one breath at a time.
