This is an amazing class and I love Sarah Jane's calm energy. I'm at the end of my first trimester, am 43, and was nervous about returning to yoga- something I love. This class, and all of her others make me so happy and help me navigate the many feelings that come with being newly pregnant. I always bow smiling. Thank you!

I didn’t at all feel like this was a beginner class for pregnant people. I know I’m in the 3rd trimester, but I literally couldn’t do anything but the cat position in the initial cat-cow and turned it off before I got 5 minutes in. Even trying to get that far actually retightened my back that I just before this class been able loosen up. Very disappointing.

Sarah jane steele was lovely, so nice to find a really calm non competitive, selfless yoga instructor, this is a really loving, thoughtful, understanding, gentle class, I am 20 weeks pregnant and needed to really calm down, this class was perfect for my non existent neck, highlighted a sternicleidomastoid issue which could be the cause of headaches and also helped my bump settle, breathing was perfect, made me really nice and relaxed had a bit of a cry, but felt very grounded for my bump to feel.like I was in control again. Good for tired pregnant Mums toddler to look after.
