Yoga classes
Yoga is great for helping to build strength and flexibility. It also focuses on breathing which can boost your physical and mental wellbeing.
Yoga can help improve your balance by focusing on strengthening muscles in your lower body, particularly the knees, ankles and hips.
You shouldn't worry about not being flexible or fit enough to try yoga. Beginner level classes are common at most gyms and leisure centres, as are classes designed especially for expectant mothers.
There are many different styles of yoga, the most common including Ashtanga, Iyengar and Sivananda. Some types are more intense than others. They tend to have a different area of emphasis, like posture or breathing. No style is necessarily better than any other. The key is to find a class appropriate for your ability level.
