Baby & Me · Lisbon
Prenatal & postnatal yoga, in community
Weekly yoga classes for moms and moms-to-be, to move and breathe together, whether your baby is still on the way or lying on the mat beside you. Two mornings a week, in Campo de Ourique and Saldanha.
Pregnancy and the first months with a baby ask so much of a body, and the world rarely slows down to make room for it.
Baby & Me is one hour in the week that does. A small class where you can stretch, breathe and rest among other women living the same chapter, some of them counting the weeks until birth, others counting the hours of sleep they didn't get. You don't need any yoga experience, only the wish to come back to your body for a little while.
When and where
Two mornings a week
Whenever suits you
Private sessions
Prenatal or postnatal, at home in central Lisbon, at the studio, or online
One class, two chapters
Before birth, after birth, and with your baby
During pregnancy
Prenatal yoga helps prepare your body for birth through stretching and breathing exercises. Every pose is adapted to your stage of pregnancy and to how you feel that day, with props to make room for your belly.
After birth
Postnatal yoga helps you come back into your body after birth, gently and at your own pace: breathing, posture, and strength rebuilt little by little, without any pressure to bounce back.
With your baby
Babies are welcome from 6 weeks old until they start crawling. Feeding, changing and cuddling during class are all completely fine: the class moves at the pace of the room.
What a class looks like
Slow, supported, and never rushed
I teach the way I always do: an alignment-based practice influenced by Iyengar, with blocks, blankets and bolsters, and clear guidance so you understand what you're doing and why.
We arrive and breathe, move through a gentle sequence, and end with rest and a short meditation. If you're pregnant, I'll offer you a variation for each pose; if your baby needs you halfway through, you stop, and come back to the mat whenever you're ready. Nobody is keeping score.
From the mothers
In their words
★★★★★
"I discovered Pauline's pre & post natal / baby classes towards the end of my pregnancy and I honestly wished I had found her before! Her sessions are warm, welcoming, and helped me feel grounded and connected despite the many changes happening to my body. And it's such a great way to meet other mums, hear some stories about motherhood and feel part of a community."
Camille · Baby & Me
★★★★★
"I could walk in having the worst day and leave calm, centred, physically more aligned and cared for. Her practice is very nurturing, and I love how she adapts to pregnant women and new mums needs, as well as supporting new mums by comforting their babies if they need a hand to get some much needed me time."
Hannah · Baby & Me
★★★★★
"I've been having private prenatal yoga classes with Pauline for the past few months, and I highly recommend her. She is an excellent teacher who always adapts each session to my specific needs. I always leave feeling more relaxed, centred, and connected."

Questions before your first class
Is the class for pregnant women or new mothers?
Both, in the same room. Moms-to-be and new moms practice side by side, and I adapt each pose for where you are, so everyone gets a class that fits.
Do I need any yoga experience?
Not at all. If you can breathe, then you can practice yoga with me. Every pose comes with options, and I'll help you find the version that works for your body today.
When can I come back after giving birth?
Once your doctor or midwife has given you the go-ahead, which is usually around 6 weeks after birth, and sometimes a little later after a caesarean. That's also when your baby is welcome to join you.
Can I bring my baby?
Yes, from 6 weeks old until they start crawling. Feeding, changing and cuddling during class are all completely fine: the class moves at the pace of the room.
Which language are classes taught in?
Classes are taught in English, and I'm happy to guide you in French whenever it helps.
How do I book the Friday class?
Friday Baby & Me happens at Yogaroom in Saldanha and is booked and paid directly through Yogaroom. Wednesday classes at Studio Organic Flow are booked on my booking page, where the 5- and 10-class packages are also available.
Is there another class I can take while pregnant?
Yes, Tuesday Yin-Yang is prenatal friendly, always: a very slow flow followed by restorative poses, perfect for winding down in the evening.
