Bloom Pregnancy Yoga Perth

23/12/2025

The remaining spaces in my first prenatal yoga series of 2026 are OPEN for booking. Classes run over 5 weeks - no class on the public holiday 26 January.

For those who sign up early, I’ll send you access to a library of home pregnancy yoga practices to enjoy at home, including yoga nidra and meditation especially for mums to be.

This will be my 17th year teaching; I am incredibly honoured to hold space for women and mothers. I continue to evolve my knowledge and appreciation of the female form and how beautifully ancient yogic practices provide support.

What you need, when you need it.

👩🏽‍🍼Perinatal Mental Health week provides an opportunity to reach out and ask for help ~ because everyone’s journey into and through parenthood is unique, and we weren’t designed to do it alone. 🤝

🧘🏽‍♀️One of the reasons I have continued my postnatal mum + baby yoga classes for so many years is because I have seen first hand how the class itself provides a safe, supportive space for new mums - and truthfully, there IS NOT enough support in this area.

is here to support mums, dads and families to navigate this transition.

Their website provides a wealth of resources - even as a family member or someone who works with women and their families. Plus they have someone available to chat Monday - Saturday.

Did you know that my Bloom prenatal yoga classes combine therapeutic movement designed for all trimesters with birth education and insight for pregnancy, birth and mothering?!

As a pregnant mother I found there was an incredible lack of information and learning from other women in my own pregnancies and it’s one of the reasons I became a specialist Prenatal yoga teacher 16 years ago!

Here’s some of what you can learn in my classes:
🌙 Build strength to relieve back and hip pain
🌙 Prenatal anatomy and why it matters!
🌙 Learn mental resilience and mindfulness for all kinds of birth
🌙 Asana to optimise space for baby in pregnancy + birth
🌙 Prenatal and postnatal safe core and pelvic floor
🌙 Connect with a community of other mothers

Classes are 60 minutes
All equipment provided
Personalised prenatal care
Plus home practices for missed classes

My next series starts Monday, book your spot here: www.bloomyoga.com.au

🤰🏽The reasons why a pregnancy yoga class is ideal for supporting you during each trimester is because we focus on:

🦵Creating not just space, but also the strength + stability the pelvis requires from other muscle groups to minimise pain and maintain mobility as your baby grows

🧠We integrate mindfulness techniques through asana postures to help prepare for the inevitable challenges that arise through labour, birth and mothering ~ regardless of how your baby is born!

🫶Prenatal yoga is not just about movement - it’s an opportunity to create community and become educated about your pregnancy and birth from mothers who have firsthand knowledge and specialist training.

🥇Bloom Yoga’s pregnancy yoga classes have been supporting women through yoga since 2009, we continue to be recommended by mothers, midwives, doulas and fellow yoga teachers which is why our classes continue to book full.

Be still my uterus 🫶

they told us s***m race to the egg
like the fastest one wins.

but science says something else.
the egg chooses.

she releases tiny chemical signals chemoattractants
that guide the right s***m to her.
not the strongest.
not the fastest.
the one that fits.

so even before you held your baby,
even before you saw their face…
your body was already choosing them.

how beautiful is that?🥺

Have you considered options to birth your baby? Other than being on your back?

🌟 Why Pushing on Your Back Hurts More 🌟

By full term, the whole “package” of pregnancy, like the uterus, baby, placenta, and amniotic fluid is surprisingly heavy. Here’s the breakdown:

📊 Average Weights at Term (around 40 weeks)
• 👶 Baby: ~7–8 lbs (3.2–3.6 kg) on average
• 🌸 Placenta: ~1.5 lbs (0.7 kg)
• 💧 Amniotic fluid: ~2 lbs (0.9 kg)
• 🫀 Uterus itself: ~2 lbs (0.9 kg) (it starts at just ~2 ounces pre-pregnancy!)
• 🩸 Extra blood & fluids within uterus area: ~2–3 lbs

➡️ Total weight carried in and by the uterus: ~13–16 lbs

When a parent is asked to push in a flat or semi-reclined position, here’s what’s really happening ⤵️

💥 Pressure on the Sacrum
➡️ The sacrum (tailbone area) is meant to move backward during birth, giving the baby more room.
➡️ Lying flat pins it against the bed, narrowing the outlet and adding painful pressure to the lower back.

💥 Circulation Gets Compromised
➡️ The heavy uterus presses on the vena cava (a major vein), which can reduce blood flow.
➡️ This may cause dizziness, nausea, or even dips in baby’s heart rate.

💥 Less Help from Gravity
➡️ On your back, you’re pushing uphill.
➡️ In upright or forward positions, gravity works WITH you, not against you.

✨ Better Options ✨
✅ Side-lying 🤰
✅ Hands & knees 🙌
✅ Squatting 🧎‍♀️
✅ Kneeling forward 🧘

These positions:
🌈 Free the sacrum
🌈 Take pressure off the back
🌈 Improve blood flow
🌈 Often make pushing more instinctive and effective

💡 Birth isn’t meant to be forced flat on your back. Movement + gravity + choice = more space, less pain, safer birth 💪👶💖

If you feel good on your back then that’s ok, too! But this should not be the default from your providers or forced!
