Practicing at GoodGood While Pregnant

Our guide to safe prenatal movement

We’re strong believers in the benefits of staying active during pregnancy when it feels right for you. Movement can support strength, mobility, circulation, and overall wellbeing, and many people find it helps them feel more comfortable as their body changes.

At GoodGood, we encourage movement during pregnancy that feels supportive, considered, and appropriate for you. Many of our instructors are prenatal trained, and you’re always welcome to attend regular classes with modifications. Simply let your instructor know you’re pregnant before class so they can offer suitable options based on how you’re feeling that day.

Our studio is warm rather than hot, designed to support mobility and circulation without feeling overwhelming. You’re encouraged to stay hydrated, listen to your body, and rest whenever needed.

We also offer a monthly Prenatal & Hypnobirthing Special Class, recommended for the later stages of pregnancy, offering supportive guidance for birth and beyond.

Before You Practise

  1. Please let your instructor know before class that you’re pregnant, even if you’ve practised with us before. This allows them to offer appropriate modifications and guidance where needed.

  2. Always move at a pace that feels right for you on the day.

  3. If ever in doubt, please speak with your healthcare provider before continuing or starting any exercise during pregnancy.

A Few General Guidelines for Practicing While Pregnant

Here are some key things to keep in mind when moving during pregnancy:

  • Stay hydrated – avoid overheating and sip water throughout class

  • Prioritise stability over flexibility – your body is producing relaxin, which can make joints feel looser

  • Stay comfortable - If anything feels uncomfortable reach out for a modifcation

  • Don’t push to your edge – now’s the time to build strength gently, not test limits

  • Skip deep twists and compressions – opt for open, gentle rotations instead

  • Listen to your breath – if you can’t maintain steady breathing, it’s time to rest

Yoga is the practice of quieting the mind, strengthening the body, and reconnecting with the flow of life.
