Pregnancy Yoga · Maitland, Florida

Your body is changing. Your practice can change with it.

Pregnancy yoga at The Yoga Shala is taught through personalized Mysore-style instruction. You practice within a supportive room while receiving individual guidance, modifications, and care shaped around your pregnancy, experience, energy, and changing body.

A different approach to prenatal yoga

You share the room. You do not share a one-size-fits-all practice.

We do not offer a separate prenatal group class. Instead, pregnancy instruction takes place inside our Mysore classroom, where each student is already practicing individually. That means the teacher can change postures, pacing, duration, and emphasis without asking you to follow a sequence designed for everyone else.

One-on-one teaching inside a shared room

A class that can meet you differently every day.

Pregnancy does not unfold according to a fixed sequence. Energy changes. Balance changes. Comfort changes. A practice that felt supportive last week may need to look different today.

Mysore-style instruction gives the teacher room to observe what is happening and respond. You may continue familiar parts of your established practice, learn a gentler sequence, spend more time breathing, or finish earlier when your body asks for less.

  • 01 Individual instruction within the class setting
  • 02 Thoughtful changes as pregnancy progresses
  • 03 No pressure to keep pace with another student
  • 04 Breath, steadiness, and awareness before performance

Is this right for you?

Your starting point determines how we begin.

The safest and most supportive first step depends on your movement history, stage of pregnancy, current symptoms, and any guidance from your prenatal care provider.

01

You already practice Ashtanga

Established practitioners are welcome in Mysore class. Tell the teacher you are pregnant and share any new symptoms, restrictions, or provider recommendations so your familiar practice can evolve appropriately.

03

You have complications or restrictions

Follow the guidance of your obstetric clinician or midwife and contact us before class. In some circumstances, a private session—or a different form of support—may be more appropriate than joining the Mysore room.

What the practice can support

Breath. Movement. Rest. Attention.

The purpose is not to preserve a pre-pregnancy practice at all costs. It is to stay in relationship with your body as it changes—and to let the practice serve that relationship.

01

Breath

Learn to notice the quality of your breathing without forcing it. Steady, comfortable breath can help organize movement, soften unnecessary effort, and bring attention back to the present.

02

Movement

Build or maintain useful strength, mobility, balance, and body awareness through movement that is adjusted for your changing structure—not through pressure to advance or perform a pose.

03

Rest

Practice includes permission to slow down, pause, change position, or stop. Rest is not something earned after doing enough—it is part of learning to respond intelligently to your body.

04

Attention

Pregnancy invites a different quality of listening. The practice helps you notice comfort, balance, energy, breath, and sensation so today’s choices are based on today’s body.

The shape is never the goal. The practice is adjusted so you can stay connected to your whole body—not squeezed into someone else’s sequence.

Your first visit

What to expect when you come to class.

You do not need to arrive knowing what to modify. That is part of what the teacher is there to help you understand.

01

Contact us first if you are new

Share your due date, movement experience, current activity, and any provider guidance or restrictions.

02

Choose a Beginner or Mysore class

Pregnancy instruction is available anywhere Beginner Mysore or Mysore-style teaching appears on the schedule.

03

Practice at your own pace

The teacher will guide your sequence, make changes as needed, and help determine an appropriate stopping point.

04

Keep communicating

Let us know when symptoms, energy, balance, comfort, or medical recommendations change throughout pregnancy.

Common questions

Before you begin.

No. Pregnancy instruction takes place within our Beginner Mysore and Mysore-style classes. Because every student is already receiving individual guidance, your practice can be modified without placing you into a separate one-size-fits-all sequence.
