The prenatal practice is carefully tailored for your time as a mother-to-be. The intention is to support your pregnancy, preparing you for giving birth, to accept the natural changes, to trust, be confident and have resilience.
(The class on Wednesday evenings will be back after the summer).
This practice is thoughtfully designed to support you through every stage of pregnancy. With a focus on nurturing both body and mind, each session helps you prepare for birth, embrace the natural changes of pregnancy, and cultivate trust, confidence, and resilience.
Classes include conscious breathing, gentle stretching, and targeted strengthening, especially for the back and legs. You’ll also learn techniques to release tension and deeply relax. These practices can ease discomfort, improve sleep, reduce stress, and help you feel more connected to your baby.
Prenatal yoga offers a supportive toolkit you can return to whenever you need it most, empowering you throughout pregnancy and beyond.
Recommended from 12 weeks of pregnancy onwards.
*Contributions vary between health insurance companies. Please check with your insurance company for more information about your specific policy.

This weekly 6 part (7 hours+) course is held in a closed group and has a smaller setting than a regular class, making it semi-private. So mums have space to be comfortable and safe, while receiving more personlised instruction in a cosy environment.
BABIES ARE MOST WELCOME! (Until they start crawling).
Price for all 6 sessions: 220 CHF
Price for drop-ins: 44 CHF
This course has a holistic approach and offers support on a physical, emotional and mental level.
On a physical level, it will help your body recover and regain strength after birth. We will concentrate on the pelvic floor region, abdominal wall, and the upper and lower back.
The curated sequences will help you to release the neck, shoulders and upper back.
On a mental level, postnatal yoga helps you to relax and feel more grounded. On an emotional level, this course will provide you with a safe, kind and open space where you could share your experiences during this early motherhood period if you wish. This will create deeper connections and perhaps even friendships with other mums and babies, adding a valuable and important social element.
Most importantly, this course will help you to come back ‘home’ to your body after pregnancy and childbirth.
The group setting is smaller than a regular yoga class, allowing for more personal attention, tailored alignment, and effective postnatal recovery support.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE STUDIO ACCESS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR LARGE PUSHCHAIRS (there is a narrow staircase and no lift. However, if you have a smaller stroller or collapsable one, this can easily be brought inside).
We know how unpredictable life with a baby can be. At the same time, to create a stable, nurturing group and ensure the sustainability of the course, we ask for a full commitment when you sign up.
Full course bookings are open until 72 hours before the first class. After that, remaining spots may be available for drop-in sessions, which must be booked individually and are subject to availability.
• Once booked, the course is non-refundable and non-cancellable. This allows us to keep the group consistent and hold the space for everyone involved.
• If you know in advance that you’ll miss a session, you’re welcome to join another session within the course period (if space allows).
• Drop-ins will be available from 30 August, only if space allows and must be pre-booked.
• A minimum of 4 participants is required for the course to run. If this number isn’t reached, you’ll be notified in advance and receive a full refund.
Most basic and complementary health insurances support this course when booked in full.*
To request reimbursement from your insurance company, please ask Carla for an official document (note: Eversports receipts are not valid for claims).
*Contributions vary between health insurance companies. Please check with your insurance company for more information about your specific policy.
The key for postnatal recovery is consistency, but we understand that planning with small babies is not always easy, so it is possible to book each session separately. BABIES ARE MOST WELCOME
