Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga in Brighton & Hove

Hello & Welcome

Brighton is where LushTums began in 2007 and where you'll still find our founder Clare teaching today. Join us at The Loft, upstairs at Little Dippers, 40–42 Upper Gardner Street, Brighton BN1 4AN ~ right in the heart of the North Laine, just 5 mins from Brighton train station.

Every class follows our signature Breathe, Move & Relax to Birth approach: a warm hello circle, gentle adapted yoga to ease prenatal aches and build strength for birth, then a deep guided relaxation. No experience needed (most of the mums-to-be we work with here at LushTums are new to yoga) and you can join from 15 weeks.

We also run Postnatal Mum & Baby Yoga, Women's Yoga and our monthly Yoga For Birth and Prepare for Baby workshops. Our local teachers have all been personally trained by Clare, so you're in safe hands.

Pregnancy Yoga in Brighton ~ FAQs

Where are LushTums pregnancy yoga classes in Brighton?

Our main Brighton classes are at The Loft, upstairs at Little Dippers, 40–42 Upper Gardner Street, Brighton BN1 4AN, right in the heart of the North Laine. We also have a Tuesday evening class at Patcham Methodist Church.

When are the pregnancy yoga classes?

We run pregnancy yoga on Monday and Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings at The Loft, plus Tuesday evenings in Patcham. See the weekly timetable above for times and to book your space.

When can I start pregnancy yoga?

From around 15 weeks if you're new to yoga or exercise. If you already practise regularly, just check in with your teacher and you may be able to start sooner. There's no upper limit ~ many mums-to-be keep coming right up to their due date.

Do I need any yoga experience?

Not at all. Most of the mums-to-be we work with here at LushTums are new to yoga when they join us. Every class is tailored to whoever is in the room that day.

What happens in a LushTums pregnancy yoga class?

Every class follows our signature Breathe, Move & Relax to Birth approach. We open with a hello circle, move through gentle adapted yoga to ease pregnancy aches and build strength for birth, then finish with a deep guided relaxation. Practical birth preparation is woven through every session ~ and you'll make friends along the way too.

Is pregnancy yoga safe?

Yes ~ our classes are designed specifically for the pregnant body and led by specialist LushTums-trained teachers. If you have any health concerns, check with your midwife or doctor before booking and let your teacher know when you arrive.

Who teaches the classes?

LushTums founder Clare Maddalena, Senior Yoga Teacher and FEDANT-accredited antenatal educator with 20 years' experience, along with our LushTums-trained teachers Clair Edwards and Katherine Wilding.

What People Say …

  • "Your sessions were incredible for so many things. A safe place to come and talk to other people going through the same experience. The breathing and stretches were incredible for my birth experience (I even had a c section and the breathing and flexibility came in wonders for the spinal) and I’ve been able to make some great friends from attending - so thank you so much!"

  • “I did both the Pregnancy Yoga classes and the Antenatal Education to prepare for birth and baby and am so grateful I did. The breathing was amazing and totally got me through it all.”

  • “Classes provide a safe space to exercise whilst exploring your pregnancy and your feelings. My highlight of the week!”

  • “I'm back again for pregnancy number 3! My much needed bit of time out each week. Highly recommend.”

  • “Not only have I loved the Pregnancy Yoga and Postnatal Yoga classes, I am now loving the Women's Yoga too! So nice to have an understanding space for me to continue to explore yoga.”

  • "We found the antenatal classes incredible. We particularly loved how you approach big topics like labour with such positivity and how you covered all the options really impartially, so we could make our own informed decision. We didn’t feel swayed into a certain direction or judged at all.
