Welcome to:
Mamata Yoga’s virtual perinatal studio
Your virtual yoga studio from pregnancy – to labour – to birth – to postpartum and everything in-between
Welcome Mama!
Whether you’re preparing for the arrival of your baby or recovering from childbirth, incorporating yoga into your daily life can be a great way to relax, connect with your baby, stay fit, improve sleep, relieve pain + tension and so much more.
After a decade of training and certifying yoga + fitness instructors internationally over at Mamata Yoga Academy, we’ve had thousands of requests from mothers to offer safe and educational prenatal + postnatal yoga classes online.
In response to this need, we created the Mamata Yoga’s virtual perinatal studio, where every month, you’ll find new classes with different themes and intentions to help aid in physical discomfort during pregnancy, anatomical labour + delivery techniques and safe healing practices during postpartum.
Mama, we have you covered from pregnancy – to labour – to birth – to postpartum and everything in-between! And there is no need to go over to your nearest studio either! Let us come to you, to the comfort of your own home. No previous yoga experience required, but please seek the advice of your health care professional before you take any of our classes.
With 15 years of experience as a prenatal + postnatal yoga instructor, a birth doula, a postpartum corrective specialist and a mother to 3 spirited children, you will feel confident, knowledgeable and empowered in my classes.
See you in class,
Clare NewmanFounder of Mamata Yoga Academy

What our Mamas say

When I register for Mamata Yoga prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher training I didn’t realize I would be starting on a magical journey full of wonder, exploration, femininity and community. Clare’s warm, friendly and funny personality draws you in during this intense teacher training you can’t help but be inspired by her passion and knowledge about yoga, meditation, pregnancy and Ayurveda. Upon completion I felt very confident teaching yoga to pregnant women in a safe and inclusive way. I highly recommend Mamata Yoga teacher training!

My experience with Mamata Yoga’s Prenatal Online Yoga Teacher Training program was fantastic. This is a unique program that covers more ground than any other program I’ve seen or taken part in. I continue to reference the manual and materials, recalling great bits of information that enhance my Prenatal Yoga classes every week. The webinars were extremely informative and professionally delivered by a top-notch, educated team. I looked forward to the sessions each week, and felt supported and heard whenever I had questions. Clare has done an amazing job with developing these trainings and is a leader in the Prenatal YTT community, in my humble opinion. I look forward to doing more webinars with Mamata Yoga in the future.
F.A.Q.
How do I start?
First, the most important aspect of enrolling in any yoga class is to ask permission from your family doctor, midwife or obstetrician to practice yoga postures, stretches or movement based exercises given your current health.
Since these classes are lead with lots of anatomical instruction, you’ll need approval from your health care provider to make sure you are safe within each trimester.
Please do not practice any of the prenatal videos if your health care provider has placed you on bedrest. These classes are for suitable for those mothers both in pregnancy and postnatal who have been given the clearance or approval from their family doctor, midwife or obstetrician.

Do I need any experience with yoga to take these classes?
No previous yoga experience is required to participate in the online classes. All of the online yoga classes with Mamata Yoga are structured as ‘multi-level classes’, meaning even the most novice students to the most advance student will find the classes descriptive and detailed offering lots of modifications and adaptations.
What yoga props do I need to start?
We do use a multitude of different yoga props throughout each class. If you want the most benefit out of your home practice, the following props are recommended and can easily be ordered online.
•Yoga Mat
•Rectangular Yoga Bolster (or a long firm pillow)
•Yoga Blocks (wood or foam)
•Yoga Strap (or belt)
•Blanket
•Myofascial Release Balls (Tune up Fitness balls)
•Water bottle!
•Blanket and toys for baby (postnatal classes)
Find a nice, quiet area in your home and clear a wall if you can as some of the classes we use the wall for support!
What is the recommended time to begin a prenatal yoga practice?
The recommendation to begin a prenatal practice at home is after 12 weeks once your health care provider has given you permission to resume normal activity.
We like to remind mothers that the first 12 weeks of conception is exhausting and taxing on the physical body, so take this time to rest and recoup! You amazing body is working incredibly hard to nourish your baby during this developmental time so rest up!
The second trimester (12 – 26 weeks) which is referred to as the ‘Golden Trimester’ is when mothers feel more refreshed and their energy levels surge. This is the more suitable time to resume your activity level and enrol in the online yoga classes.
Can you start before? Yes, but do you really want too? Why not take it easy and just stay connected to your body and your baby.
What is the recommended time to begin a postnatal yoga practice?
The recommendation to being a postnatal practice at home is 6 weeks after a vaginal birth and 12 weeks after a Caesarean birth?
Honestly, we recommend 12 weeks for both. Why? The most important aspect of postpartum healing is to not rush postpartum healing. Meaning, take you time!! Use the first 12 weeks to bond with your baby, rest and keep yourself nourished and hydrated.
Waiting 12 weeks increases a healthier postpartum recovery! Hormonal fluctuation still effects the connective tissue and the smooth muscles for up to 12 weeks, urinary incontinence gradually begins to decrease after 12 weeks and the uterus and other organ movement reduces and shifts back to it’s original placement after 12 weeks.
Not to mention your baby has more of a routine after 12 weeks and is sleeping better which means, so are you!
