I am doing pre-natal yoga at Iyengar Yoga and pre-natal pilates with Jill Marshall - not yet delivered. Did help with leg cramps. Both classes are very good and tailored for pregnancy.

i did a trial Class when i was pregnant and just didn't have the patience for it (sitting around, breathing, etc)

Bought a DVD for beginners from Amazon.com and did it at home - it was good for stretching and maintaining flexibility.

I went to the Yoga Room in Sheung Wan when I was pregnant with my first. Though I'm not usually a yoga person, I liked the class because I found it relaxing. I'm pregnant with my second now and will try to go back to doing yoga.

KMS - Where are you going to do pre-natal pilates? I heard that was really good for pregnant ladies but not sure where to try it.

The yoga class today was nice and relaxing, good for once or twice a week...I will also need to mix in more active activities into my routine to help stay healthy.

We are planning to do the pre-natal pilates in Central.

for the first baby i did it with pure yoga and i found it nice to learn certain exercises and stretches to do at home on my own...

I did it on my own at home and with a DVD. I found it helpful to make the time to do the stretching exercises, particularly in the legs and around the pelvis to prepare for natural childbirth. Too bad I ended up having a C-section though...

Since I'm not very athletic, I don't enjoy prenatal yoga so much. I prefer swimming. I'm now doing a prenatal music class with a few of my friends- i'm loving it! There is movement, but i can handle that, and we also do breathing and singing exercise together. I feel more connected with my baby. The course only last for a few weeks long coz my friends will be leaving in July. I wonder if any of you would be interested in forming a group? (the teacher recommends 4-6 in a class) I'm on the south side.
