I tried to find a pilates/yoga class for me to go to in order to do it for pre and post term. I honestly found none of them up to my standards of what i was looking for. You had a high price per class and yearly expense. If the classes were full and you got there last you were S.O.L. You had to bring all your own equipment and i felt extremely uncomfortable walking around on a carpet where 100 other people walked during the day while I was barefoot. Not to mention that but it was people 4 months, and people 8 months and there was no help from anyone telling me what position was best for MY trimester.
MY BEST ADVICE! Get a pregnancy yoga kit yourself. I got mine for $30 on Amazon.com. It is pre and post natal, goes per trimester and shows you the best positions and stretches and relaxation modes. I could do it as often as I wanted to for as long as I wanted to in the comfort and privacy of my own home. I could put on relaxing music, or jam out to some punk rock. I loved the experience and I honestly think that me doing it at home helped me better connect to my baby rather than sitting there in a room full of people worried if I was doing it right. ALSO it was post natal, so when my little baby DOES get here I can enjoy spending time with them and relax with them.
Please know that you should always check with your physician before persuing.
Greenville Yoga has some great "Yoga for Women's Health" classes. Usually over 50% of the women in there are pregnant. Classes are only $10 apiece (or $5 for teachers). Definitely worth checking out!
