Pregnancy Yoga: Building Your Village Before Baby Arrives

So much energy goes into preparing for birth — writing your birth plan, packing your hospital bag, and visualising those first moments with your baby.
But have you thought about what you’ll need after baby arrives?

The truth is, postpartum can be a beautiful and challenging time — physically, emotionally, and mentally. The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Pregnancy yoga is more than a class — it’s a chance to connect with a like-minded group of mums who are walking the same path as you. Week after week, as you move, breathe, and prepare for birth together, you’re also quietly forming your postnatal community — the people who’ll understand the late-night feeds, the recovery, and the big waves of emotion that come with new motherhood.

Many of our mums tell us that the friendships they formed in pregnancy yoga became their lifeline during the early months — meeting for walks, sharing honest conversations, and swapping baby tips over coffee.

So while you’re preparing your Postpartum Prep List, don’t forget to include one of the most valuable things you can have — a community.

Here’s a great place to start:

🥘 Meals made and stored in the freezer
🤱 A lactation consultant lined up
💬 A support group or community to connect with (start with your pregnancy yoga group!)
💗 A therapist you can reach out to
💪 A pelvic floor physical therapist
👶 Ask friends to skip the cute onesies and gift you a postpartum doula instead
🧘‍♀️ Join Yogababy Mums & Bubs Yoga to reconnect with your body and meet other new mums
🛁 Sitz bath and peri bottle for recovery

Your birth is one special day — but your postpartum lasts for months and beyond.
Join a Yogababy Pregnancy Yoga course to prepare for both — your birth and the beautiful community that can carry you through the weeks after.

✨ Join us in Ashgrove or Jindalee and connect with other mums who are growing, learning, and preparing right alongside you.
