Prepare Your Body For a Positive Birth Experience
DEVELOP AN ENRICHING PREGNANCY YOGA PRACTICE AT HOME WITH 
ONLINE COURSES FROM ONE OF AUSTRALIA'S MOST CELEBRATED 
PRE-NATAL YOGIS, KATE POROTTO
“Whether you’re a pregnant mama or you’re interested in training as a pregnancy yoga teacher, you’ve come to the right place. My online courses allow you to practise pregnancy yoga safely and satisfyingly in your own home.

In my 24 years as a yoga instructor, I’ve observed that women who practise yoga during pregnancy are less stressed, gain less weight and are less anxious about giving birth than others.
Deep inside, every woman already knows how to give birth. Yoga helps us connect with our inner wisdom and trust it.
My short, easy-to-follow video lessons and supporting material will guide you in the fundamentals of pre-natal yoga and dispel your fears as you prepare your body, mind and spirit for an amazing birth experience.
During our time together, I’ll help you connect with your baby in utero and support them in the womb through asanas and breathwork.

WHY PREGNANCY YOGA?
Yoga is birth & birth is yoga
Practising yoga during this sacred time keeps your body supple, flexible and strong. On a spiritual level, yoga prepares your mind and body for birth through relaxation and learning to let go.
It’s no coincidence that breath, posture, meditation and sound are yoga practices as well as birth skills.
My aim is to nurture you through this profound physical and emotional transformation as you prepare to unite with your baby. 
During our lessons, you’ll develop an increased awareness of your body and the child within. Many women discover an amazing sense of self-belief through pregnancy yoga. My online mamas-to-be will learn to trust in their bodies and their ability to birth.


















Learn to let go & embrace the transformation
Are you afraid of giving birth? Keen to stay calm, strong and supple during pregnancy? Pregnancy yoga is the safe space you need to work through your fears, connect with your baby and condition your body. 
Many women have been conditioned to fear labour, but it really is the most natural thing in the world. Birth is nothing but a mind game.
My aim with this course is to give you the tools you need to have a happier, healthier delivery with less chance of intervention by trusting in your innate ability to give birth.
Through pregnancy yoga, so many women report feeling:
  • less anxious
  • more relaxed
  • fit and healthy as their body changes
  • ​safe in the knowledge that they are supporting their baby
  • ​better prepared for birth and motherhood
As we stretch, breath and relax together, you’ll create positive new pathways in your mind that prepare you for a great birth and joyful motherhood experience.
Why practise with Kate?
Kate Porotto has been a practising yoga teacher and teacher trainer since 1995.
Over the years, she has helped hundreds of pregnant clients let go of fears around birth and open up to the magic of the experience. 
Kate is also a certified doula with a special interest in women’s health who has personally given birth to four children – one in hospital and three at home.
She has experienced home water births, late deliveries, a posterior birth, an anterior lip birth and a 5kg (11lb) baby who was breach until it was almost time to deliver!
Running 2 busy yoga studios in Western Australia has taught Kate everything there is to know about how the ancient practice of yoga can prepare your body for birth and help you have a healthy, happy pregnancy.


What you'll learn
Kate Porotto’s Pregnancy & Birth online courses consist of east-to-follow, incredibly beneficial lessons where pregnant mamas can learn how to practise yoga safely, in their own homes, without having to navigate packed classes or inconvenient timetables. 
Course content is based on the packed-out pregnancy yoga classes Kate teaches in her 2 studios. 
Over the course of xx modules, Kate will take you through the fundamental pregnancy yoga principles and postures that support a healthy, comfortable pregnancy and positive birth experience. 
You’ll learn what you need to know to get calm, get centred, let go of fears around pregnancy and birth and prepare yourself for an amazing birth journey.

Online course curriculum covers: 
  • General pregnancy health and wellbeing information
  • Contraindications and guidance on a safe practice
  • A wealth of birth knowledge and skills
  • Clear instructions on alignment of postures and modifications
  • How to prepare physically, emotionally and mentally for birth and mothering
  • How to dispel the fear that leads to interventions and less effective contractions
  • ​Strategies for coping with birth pain
  • How to use the breath to keep relaxed and focused
NOTE FROM KATE
I encourage you to watch the videos with your birth partner so they can also learn essential birthing skills. Partners are the most important person in the room and can help keep you calm and focused.


By the end of each course, students will understand that:

  • Pregnancy is a natural state
  • Yoga helps us connect to and flow with the body's natural rhythms
  • Women should believe in their bodies and dismiss fears
Why practise online instead of in a studio?
  • We know that life is busy and class timetables are not always convenient. Our easy-to-follow online courses allow you to practise in your own home, at your own pace, depending on how you’re feeling in your pregnancy that day.
  • With additional content and bonuses, Kate Porotto’s online course options offer exceptional value for money.
  • You can structure your practice around work commitments, the school pick-up and kids’ bedtimes.
  • ​Online is a cost-effective way to practise because you can watch the videos as many times as you like for the duration of your pregnancy.
  • ​There are a variety of classes to ‘attend’ online, in your own time.
  • ​Choose what part of the body you want to work on the day or do a whole class.
  • ​You can choose to do just a mini shoulder or hip sequence – depending on what your body needs.
  • ​Classes of varying lengths are available to suit your schedule and energy levels.

Some kind words from our yoga mamas
“This beautiful woman rocks my world... Kate Porotto, you certainly have helped me reshape it. I appreciate you as my friend and yoga mentor, helping me to find a REAL balance and harmony in my body, heart and soul with the practice you teach. My little one is also receiving your love and the experience... I truly value the opportunity to connect with my developing baby, and my own spirit, when I am in class with you or practicing yoga that you teach at home.”

Katie Joy

“I came to Kate at 18 weeks pregnant for pregnancy yoga. Every week I came to class, as I could not miss out! It made my pregnant body feel amazing and gave me precious time to connect with my baby. Kate knows on a deeper level when something's going on in your body or your mind and will tailor the practice to suit. Along with the birth preparation class, it honestly was the best 'preparation' for birth and motherhood. I loved it and miss it. I ended up in the same mothers’ group as some of the girls I did prenatal yoga with. Such a wonderful connection. I have recommended Kate as a yoga teacher to many of my pregnant friends and would to anyone.”

Emily

“I showed up in Kate’s class 6 months pregnant with a fused and heavily operated spine that medically left me with only two options for birth, either a natural 100% drug-free birth or full anaesthesia and a complex recovery. Class after class, I started believing in the wisdom and power of my body, preparing my mind and finding my inner strength for the journey ahead. Thanks to Kate, we had a beautiful, short and unforgettable water birth and very smooth recovery that before going to the Fremantle Yoga Centre I would have never thought possible. My connection to my baby, to my body and to my inner wisdom are all gifts that I received from Kate’s teaching. Me and my family will be forever grateful to her.”

Cristina

“Pregnancy yoga with Kate allowed me to deeply relax and ease aches and pains and prepare for my birth. Kate's insightful teaching and passion allowed me to have a truly wonderful pregnancy and birth experience and I have always recommended this class.”

Nina

“I took this class when I was expecting my first child (highly recommended by another fellow yogi). Kate's pregnancy class is absolutely motivating, caring, tells it how it is and gives mothers far more encouragement & tools to exceed all they can be leading up to birth and during. I never in my mind thought I could give birth naturally (well was terrified to say the least) and after committing weekly practices in the pregnancy class with Kate mantras/asanas/music I successfully gave birth naturally. I am so thankful to come across a yoga teacher who lives and breathes all of yoga.”

Lexi

“Friends of mine recommended the pregnancy classes at Fremantle Yoga Centre. I have been attending them ever since and believe it has made my pregnancy so much lighter! Not only did it help me connect to being pregnant as a first timer, but also to the little wonder that's been growing inside of me. The classes help me stay flexible and strong and with the daily exercises I have taken from them, I have been able to feel great throughout this journey! With all the heart that Kate puts in her classes, she empowers, loves and has been a wealth of information for me. Kate certainly contributed to preparing me to be in the right head and heart space for the pregnancy and birthing process. To me the focus on yoga techniques and breath, when practiced, is a true gift that keeps on giving. Pregnant or not :). I am 38 weeks now so not long before I pop, but will continue with my practice until our little one arrives and beyond! Thanks so much for your guidance.”

Do you have a question?
The answer may be here.
If not, email kate@fremantleyoga.com and Kate will get back to you ASAP.
Can I do your course in my first trimester?
If you feel well enough then the answer is yes!!
Some days you may feel like just doing the meditations or the modifications. 
Despite what you may read, yoga is very safe in all stages of pregnancy if you are well and remember to listen to your body. If you are unsure, ask your care provider and let them know that the course is gentle yoga and there is no jumping or postures that will put excess strain on your body.

Is yoga safe for everyone?
Yes, yoga is safe for every body. It is important to always listen to your body. 
If something doesn’t feel right, it isn’t! 
There are plenty of classes on this course that every woman can do.

I’m having a caesarean – should I still do the course?
Yes. The time of pregnancy is beautiful and your body needs to move in a different way than normal. The course will help you to connect with yourself and your baby. The postures will allow you to keep your body and mind healthy so you can enjoy your pregnancy.

I have a low-lying placenta. Is there anything I shouldn’t do?
It is essential to speak to your care provider before starting this course. 
Avoiding deep squats and postures that have a downward pressure on your pelvis should be avoided.

Will this course be helpful if I’m being induced?
Absolutely yes! Contractions usually come quicker and more intense early on in labour when you are induced. Having techniques such as vocal toning and birth positions will really support you during an induced labour. I highly recommend this course for woman who are being induced.

Will this course be helpful if I plan to have an epidural?
Yes. You may decide to have some of the labour at home, or, you get to the hospital and have to wait for a time until you can be administered the epidural. You will need some skills to support you up until the time you choose or can have an epidural.
This course is about enjoying your pregnancy, connecting to your baby and preparing yourself for motherhood

Are meditations included in the course content?
Yes there are mediations and relaxation classes in this course. I recommend you see all the classes as either a moving meditation or still meditation. Birth is a mind game and observing the mind during your practice is important preparation for birth. The body knows how to birth, its often the mind that can go towards negative thought patterns “ I can’t do this “ and then the body reacts to those thoughts. 
I highly recommend finding yourself some positive affirmations to write down and have in your birthing room to keep your mind and body positively birthing.

Are there any women for whom the course is not recommended?
My intention in putting together all my years of knowledge and experience into this course, is to make it accessible to all women. Not matter how fit, fat, thin, how many months pregnant or even if it’s a second, third or fourth pregnancy, there is something for every woman. 
I wish for all women to have beautiful and memorable times in each pregnancy.
I hope that every woman is given the tools to be able to deeply connect to themselves and their babies and prepare for birth and motherhood feeling safe and nurtured.













Is This Course For You?
The answer is YES if you can honestly agree with these statements
  • I have gotten the A-OK to practise yoga from my GP or obstetrician 
  • I am reasonably fit and healthy
  • If something doesn’t feel right, I won’t do it
  • ​I will email Kate at kate@fremantleyoga.com if I have any questions
The sooner in your pregnancy you start practising, the better you will feel.
