Prenatal Yoga (Schwangerschaftsyoga) can help you connect with your body and your baby during pregnancy and can also help you to prepare yourself for giving birth.
If pregnancy yoga courses are certified by health insurance they can even be covered by public health insurance. You can search the database of your health insurance provider to find them though likely you will only find courses taught in German.
