Pregnancy Yoga Welwyn Hatfield
Pregnancy yoga that works hard for you — supporting your body, easing your symptoms and changing how you feel
Because you’re done with the pregnancy stereotypes —
you want strength, stability and support that actually reflects what your body is doing.
You want movement that improves your week, relief that lasts, and guidance that respects
how closely you track every shift in your body and mind.
Combine functional pregnancy yoga with grounding relaxation, an introduction to hypnobirthing
and evidence-informed birth knowledge — all within a community that actually feels good to be part of.
A CubCare Pregnancy Yoga class is a weekly class in Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield
for pregnant women and people who want practical support, real comfort and a more confident start to birth prep.
Down-to-earth, inclusive, and suitable for every body, every pregnancy and every birth plan.
Does this sound like you?
• You want to stay active during pregnancy, but you also want to understand why your body feels the way it does — and how
your baby’s position, your alignment and your habits shape your comfort and your birth experience.
• You’re looking for practical ways to feel better now and more confident later — things you can use at home,
at work, during a 3am wake-up, or in labour when you need your body to respond rather than resist.
• You notice the details — the shifts, the sensations, the things other people shrug off —
and you want a class that recognises them, not dismisses them.
If you’re nodding along, here’s the piece most people never tell you...
The way you move through pregnancy shapes not only how you feel in pregnancy. It can shape how you experience birth too.
Not because movement magically guarantees anything, but because your body responds to patterns.
A lifetime of habits — slumping on the sofa in one favourite position, carrying everything on the same shoulder, standing with weight more on one hip than the other — creates tension, tightness and imbalance.
When you're pregnant, those patterns get amplified.
Tighter areas get tighter.
Overworked areas work even harder.
Your body compensates, shifts and adjusts — and that’s where the aches, the pressure, the instability and the “why does this hurt today?” sensations come from.
And your baby responds to those patterns too.
They can only work with the space they’re given.
This doesn’t mean you need perfect posture or endless stretches.
It means the right movements — simple, functional, intentional — can create more comfort now and potentially clearer pathways for birth later.
Pregnancy is an incredible time to make these changes because your body is already in transition.
You can’t control every moment of labour, but you can influence how supported, balanced and responsive your body feels as you move toward it.
And when your birth feels more supported, your early parenting often does too.
You start from a place of steadiness rather than depletion.
Confidence comes faster.
Recovery feels more manageable.
This is why the work we do in class matters — not because yoga is “nice”, but because the right kind of movement actually changes things.
That's why I am so excited to welcome you to...
CubCare Pregnancy Yoga — Welwyn Hatfield
Pregnancy feels different when your body is supported, your mind feels steadier and you understand what’s actually going on beneath the surface.
This class exists to give you that foundation — week by week, in a space that feels grounded, welcoming and genuinely useful.
Built from over a decade of antenatal education, hypnobirthing and pregnancy yoga experience, CubCare classes bring together what actually makes a difference:
functional pregnancy movement, evidence-aware birth understanding, hypnobirthing techniques and deep rest.
Each Sunday evening you’ll ease out tension, create space in your body, and settle your nervous system — while learning approaches you can carry into labour and into your week.
A weekly class in our Hatfield studio, perfectly placed for Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, Potters Bar, St Albans and Wheathampstead.
Why Sunday evening Pregnancy Yoga works so well
Sunday evening has a very particular feeling to it.
It’s the moment your mind starts running through the week ahead.
The moment you wonder whether you’ll sleep or spend another night trying to get comfortable before the next busy week starts.
The moment the things you’ve been carrying — physically and mentally — feel heavier than they did on Friday.
And weekends aren’t always the break people assume they are.
For many pregnant people, they’re when all the “pregnancy admin” happens:
organising the house, sorting baby things, catching up on rest that didn’t quite happen, and trying to squeeze in the last months of “normal life” before everything changes.
It’s a lot — and your body feels it.
That’s exactly why this class sits on a Sunday evening.
By the time you arrive, you’re ready for something that doesn’t ask anything from you.
You’re not rushing from work.
You’re not overstimulated.
You’re not pretending you’ve got energy you don’t have.
You’re finally in a place where your body can actually settle.
And when you give your body that kind of support at the end of the week, the effect carries forward.
Your discomforts feel more manageable.
Your sleep settles.
Your whole system feels less reactive.
You start Monday feeling steadier, clearer and more able to handle what the week brings — not because anything external changed, but
because you had one moment that actually helped.
This isn’t about ending the weekend on a “positive note.”
It’s about giving yourself one predictable, grounding reset each week — right before you need it most.
What we do each week — and why our pregnancy yoga works
By the time you walk through the door, your body has already lived a full week — the tension, the pressure, the unpredictability.
This class works because it responds to all of that.
Every part is designed to make your week easier, your body more supported and your birth preparation practical rather than overwhelming.
Each class is designed with one aim: to help your body feel supported, your mind feel clearer and your week feel more manageable — without asking you to fit a “perfect pregnancy” mould.
There are no generic sequences, no “standard pregnancy yoga flow,” and no expectation that your body will feel the same every week.
Everything we do is responsive, functional and grounded in how pregnant bodies actually behave.
Functional movement that makes daily life easier
Movement that supports your pelvis, eases rib and back pressure, softens overworked areas and creates space where your baby needs it.
Not performance. Not flexibility goals.
Just intelligent movement that genuinely helps.
Sciatica? Pelvic girdle pain? Hypermobility? Rib flare? Ached all day?
You’ll always be given variations that make sense for how you’re feeling that week.
Birth-focused education woven naturally into each session
You’ll learn how your body adapts, how positions influence comfort and progression, and how your baby works with (and responds to) your movement.
This isn’t an add-on; it’s part of the class because understanding your body changes how you move in it.
Hypnobirthing principles you can actually use
Simple, grounded techniques that help you feel steadier, more aware and more in control of your reactions — useful now, useful in labour, useful whenever your nervous system needs anchoring.
Deep, supported relaxation your body can truly respond to
We use positions that take pressure off your joints, support your bump and allow your whole system to drop a level.
Most people say it’s the first time all week they feel their body properly relax - we often get sleepers! It truly is the best bit about our class.
A community that feels grounding, not performative
Not a room full of strangers politely stretching — but a place where people talk, laugh, share, ask questions and realise they’re not the only ones thinking “Is it normal for THIS to feel weird?”
Every week you leave feeling different — more supported, more spacious, more prepared and more yourself.
Who is CubCare Pregnancy Yoga for?
This class is for the person who doesn’t move through pregnancy on autopilot.
You’re tuned in — to your body, your symptoms, your instincts and the small shifts most people miss.
You’re not looking for something to “keep you active.”
You’re looking for something that helps you understand what your body is actually trying to tell you.
You’re the person who wants more than reassurance.
You want information that makes sense.
You want to know why something feels the way it does, and what you can do to ease it.
You want to feel like you’re participating in pregnancy, not just experiencing it.
You’re the person who has already realised that pregnancy is physically and mentally demanding — often at the same time.
Your ribs ache and your brain won’t switch off.
Your pelvis feels unpredictable and your to-do list never stops.
You’re holding emotions, logistics, expectations, appointments, plans… and somehow still trying to be yourself underneath it all.
You don’t need someone telling you to “just relax.”
You need someone who understands the load.
You’re the person who likes to feel prepared, but not pressured.
You want practical birth preparation, but not the kind that makes you feel like you have to perform your way through labour, or just accept your fate in the NHS.
You want tools that feel like yours, not ones that rely on perfect circumstances or perfect calm.
You’re the person who feels better when things are explained clearly.
You want to understand why your body reacts the way it does, why certain positions feel better, why your symptoms shift daily, and what you can actually do that helps.
You don’t want guesswork.
You want something grounded.
You’re the person who doesn’t want to be the strongest one in the room all the time.
You get tired.
You get overwhelmed.
You’re carrying a lot — mentally, physically, emotionally — even when you look like you’re coping brilliantly.
You want a space where you don’t have to hold everything together for an hour.
Where you can drop the weight — literally and figuratively.
You’re the person who wants your pregnancy to feel like your own.
Not something happening to you.
Not something you have to “power through.”
Not something you have to explain or defend.
Just a phase of life where your body is supported, your mind is steadier and you feel more capable as you move towards birth.
If any of this rings true, this class isn’t just “suitable” for you — it will feel like you’ve finally found what you’ve been looking for.
Client Feedback
"I loved attending Jilly’s active antenatal classes. They gave me a fantastic chance to relax and spend time with bump, while also giving me the confidence and right frame of mind to deal with labour. I got practical tips which I put to good use in labour and Jilly was brilliant! Highly recommended!"

A little about who’ll be teaching you
I'm Jilly and I’ve spent more than a decade supporting pregnant people through movement, birth preparation, education and the emotional realities of this chapter.
My teaching is shaped by years of antenatal work, birth support, biomechanics, hypnobirthing and real conversations with hundreds of people navigating pregnancy in their own way.
I don’t teach from scripts or generic sequences.
I teach by watching, listening and adapting — making sure every class supports your symptoms, your energy and your goals for birth.
My job isn’t to make you “good at yoga,” or to teach you yoga traditions.
It’s to help you feel more comfortable in your body, more confident heading into birth and more steady week to week.
FAQs
When can I start Pregnancy Yoga?
If you regularly do yoga practice, then as long as you are feeling up to it then it is perfectly fine to continue during the first trimester. You may find that you need to adapt some moves and positions depending on how you are feeling on the day, just listen to your body.
For our pregnancy yoga classes, we welcome everyone from their dating scan (usually around 14 weeks, as you enter the second trimester) to help support your changing body. Attending regularly also allows you plenty of time to get a deeper connection to your changing body, to support a confident pregnancy, and also birth. But it is never too late either, so join us whenever you are ready. Classes are a wonderful opportunity to meet others who are also pregnant and start your journey with a support network already in place. The more classes you attend, the more people you can add to your support network!
Do I really need antenatal classes and pregnancy yoga classes?
It is so important to attend antenatal classes, to learn about what to expect and ways to manage the experience. CubCare antenatal classes will help you prepare for the birth of your baby and help provide you with confidence and education.
Attending pregnancy yoga classes as well as antenatal classes can help you link the education with how your body works. What’s special about CubCare antenatal classes is that it is all linked. All classes compliment each other, so you can be confident that you will understand the whole picture – your body, your baby, your birth.
You will remember your baby’s birth day for a very long time, and it will have a big impact on your early parenting journey. By attending antenatal classes you can learn about your choices and give you the best start to the journey.
Do I really need pregnancy yoga?
It is important to prepare your body for birth, but pregnancy yoga isn’t compulsory. It is a really gentle form of exercise that works well in pregnancy to lengthen and strengthen key muscles, to help you to adapt to your changing body as baby grows.
But also it allows space to relax and connect with your pregnancy, whilst balancing your body for birth and recovery. It is so important to attend antenatal classes, to learn about what to expect and ways to manage the experience. CubCare pregnancy yoga classes will help you prepare for the birth of your baby and help provide you with confidence and some education.
How much is the class?
You can choose a block of 10 classes (£110, £11 per class), 5 classes (£65, £13 per class), or PAYG if there is space each week for £15.
This includes one 1-hour class each week. Also included is a class Whatsapp group, email follow-ups with added information and education after each class, access to relaxation downloads and further information and support. Plus, you will have access to Jilly Clarke, our perinatal expert, throughout your time, to answer any questions and give you support. You will also get access to discounts off group workshops and baby classes too.
What do I need to wear/bring?
Comfy clothing that you would wear to be active in. For example leggings and a t-shirt/vest.
A bottle of water
A blanket for relaxation
A pillow for relaxation
I am planning a caesarean birth is this class still worth it?
Yes absolutely! The movement and relaxation can help you during pregnancy to ease discomfort and help prepare your mindset for birth.
Our movements can help with baby’s positioning, which can help with the cesearean operation and aid recovery too. Plus also the breathing and relaxation techniques will be very useful in the build up to the operation, to ease anxiety and nerves, to help with any pain afterwards and whilst recovering.
Plus, depending on the reason why a caesarean might be the best option for you, there may be a chance that your baby has other ideas before the date. So, having prepared for all eventualities you will be calmer and feeling more in control of the situation.
Also, classes are a wonderful opportunity to meet others who are also pregnant and start your journey with a support network already in place.
