I am 11 weeks pregnant and would like to take up yoga or pilates during pregnancy. However, so far I have only been able to find classes designed for pregnant women that are held during the daytime on weekdays. There must be lots of other pregnant women with a full-time jobs! 5 to 6pm at the YWCA is still too early for me - can't normally get away from work until 7pm.
Evening/weekend exercise classes wanted

No, I'm not qualified to answer your question .. I'm sure someone else on here will be able to get you some specifics.

Jenny,
The Celestial Wishing Tree have a class on Mondays at 6pm in Central. Do you think you could leave work a little earlier on Mondays?
The other option is lunch time. They have a class at 12:15 too.

Thanks Rani. By the way, I went to a Yin yoga class at Pure Yoga tonight. If anyone else is keen on going, be warned that the room is quite hot (they do Hot yoga before the Yin class) so dress lightly, take a big bottle of water, and try to get a seat by the door which might be slightly cooler. You need to tell the instructor you're pregnant because they didn't ask. Apparently the morning classes are cooler because they don't have the Hot class beforehand.
Sriyoga holds classes in the evenings. Check out their website for timetable (www.sriyoga.net).
For those of us who live in Discovery Bay, there is a woman called Louise who runs Pilates classes from a flat above the Plaza. I went on Saturday and there was one other pregnant woman in the regular beginners class. Louise was very good at pointing out alternatives for those moves which we would not be able to safely do, and I can see the exercises will really help me moving around when I get bigger. She is trying to get together a pregnancy group for a special class, and hours are flexible according to what suits everybody. A trio costs $200 each and six people cost $100 each (per one-hour class). Louise's number is 9235 1158. There is also a woman who does prenatal massages from the same flat! Monica charges $230 and her number is 9384 1044.
