It’s no secret that pregnancy is both physically and mentally taxing. Yoga can be beneficial for expectant moms, but of course, precautions have to be taken and you should also talk to your healthcare advisor as well as the instructor before starting any class.
These yoga studios offer prenatal yoga classes that help ease the labour process, relieve common pregnancy problems , and prep your body for birth. Plus, you’ll also get to meet and bond with other pregnant mums.
Terra Luna Yoga
Terra Luna Yoga: A Prenatal Yoga Haven in Singapore
If you’re pregnant and looking for a place that blends gentle stretches, mindful breathing, and a sprinkle of birth‑prep wisdom, Terra Luna Yoga is the spot to hit.
Why This Studio Stands Out
- All‑Inclusive – from first‑trimester newbies to those already poised for delivery.
- Certified Teachers – each instructor is a certified prenatal yoga guide and a trained birth or postpartum doula.
- Science Meets Serenity – classes weave in birth physiology and optimal maternal positioning techniques.
Meet the Founder
Founder Dewi Chen is a mom‑to‑be who earned her pregnancy yoga certification in London under Dr. Uma Dinsmore‑Tuli. She’s also a skilled birth and postpartum doula, and has undergone specialized training in Optimal Maternal Positioning. Dewi’s personal experience fuels the studio’s warm, supportive vibe.

Final Thought
Whether you’re rolling out the mat for the first time or rehearsing for the big day, Terra Luna Yoga offers a mix of relaxation, education, and a community that feels almost like family.

Its prenatal yoga class is designed to achieve a balance of physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, with the focus on spinal alignment and toning of birthing muscles, as well as stamina and relaxation of both body and mind. Como Shambhala recommends this class for expectant mothers who are at least 12 weeks into their pregnancy.

At each of its 90-minute classes, you’ll go through a series of yogic breathing techniques (pranayama), poses (asana) and a relaxation exercise (savasana) that have been modified to suit pregnancy needs.
The postures exercise is a modified version of Ashtanga Yoga postures to ensure safety for expecting women.
You’ll work on strengthening various muscle groups (legs, core, and spine) needed to support the additional weight during pregnancy, those needed for labor and delivery (core and pelvic areas), and improving blood circulation to prevent water retention, which tends to lead to the swelling of feet.
OmhSantih Yoga is at 219 Jalan Kayu, #02-01, Singapore 799442. Visit its website for more information.
