Prenatal Yoga can be a nice way to connect with your body and your baby during pregnancy and prepare yourself for giving birth.
When certified by health insurance, pregnancy yoga courses 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 them taught in German.
We have done the research and here are the available prenatal yoga courses held in Cologne in English:
Mattentiger Yoga
At Mattentiger Yoga you can attend pregnancy yoga as well as postnatal yoga and yoga with baby. You will learn breathing techniques, movements and exercises that will support you during pregnancy and help you to physically prepare for birth.
The English speaking yoga teacher Rike offers Group Yoga courses which are donation based (€15 per class and person are recommended) and also private lessons that start at €70 per class.
Ashtanga Yoga Mitte Köln
The studio offers courses in traditional Mysore style, which is a kind of Ashtanga yoga with a flexible start and end.
