Matre prenatal sangha
Sangha is the yogic word for community - it’s an intentional circle who hold space for you and practice alongside you. It's the name for what happens in the studio, as much as it is the name of the series itself.
In traditional yoga philosophy, you are also far more than a physical body. You're a layered map of physical tissue, flowing breath, emotional currents, inner wisdom, and pure joy. The five koshas.
In pregnancy, every one of those layers shifts at once - welcome matrescence. Our prenatal sangha moves through the first four koshas over four weeks - from the outer physical body inward to your inner wisdom. The fifth layer, bliss, arrives with you in every class, woven through moments of Yoga Nidra and stillness.
Each week we will also focus on your birth preparation with pelvic-floor awareness, active birthing positions and breathing techniques included in every class.
After the 60 minutes of movement and rest, you're invited to stay for our weekly tea ritual, for a chance to further unwind, and have an honest conversation with the other Inner West mums in the room.
Nobody rushes off. That's the point!
· Week 1 · Annamaya Kosha
A grounding start - three-part breath, active birthing positions, and an energising standing flow, with pelvic-floor connection and a Yoga Nidra body scan to close.
Intensity: gentle to medium
Physical grounding
· Week 2 · Pranamaya Kosha
Our most active week. Ujjayi breath and full sun salutations to open the hips, groins and chest, plus humming-bee breath and pelvic-floor work. Yoga Nidra to finish.
Intensity: medium to energetic
Flowing breath
· Week 3 · Manomaya Kosha
Alternate-nostril breathing and a flowing standing sequence, with balance postures to build focus, a deep hip release for stored tension, and calming forward folds to close.
Intensity: medium
Mental space
· Week 4 · Vijnanamaya Kosha
We turn inward - grounding So-Ham breath, active hip release, and pelvic-floor "birthing breath" work, with a Yoga Nidra journey into trust and intuition to close.
Intensity: medium to gentle
Inner wisdom
· Every Week · Anandamaya Kosha
A soothing somatic practice. Rooted in Yoga Nidra, it asks nothing of the muscles just complete rest.
Total bliss
