Hi,
I recently found out I'm pregnant and was hoping someone could advise me where i could attend good per-natal yoga / Pilates classes around central / sheung wan.
 
Hi, Rm1

Google or yahoo is your friend. Try search for "pregnancy exercise hong kong" or "prenatal class hong kong" . All the best.
 
I attended pre-natal pilates here and absolutely loved it. After my daughter was born I went back to regular classes there. They also have yoga and I think pre-natal yoga (not sure about that one). They have both mat and reformer pre-natal pilates. Huge fan and I still go 1-3 times/week. :) Just such a welcoming atmosphere in that place--one of my favorite places to go. Not in Sheung Wan but definitely worth the trip to TST. Also not one of those mega-gyms--just a small, warm, friendly studio. Can't say enough good things about it.
 
Went to in-motion at the recommendation of thanka2 (thank you!!). Loved every session, found that the gyrotonic helps me the most!! The people there (I used Yvonne) are awesome.

Aren't they fantastic. Yvonne is great. Are you still going?

But you only do the Gyrotronic? If you end up going back to any of the classes, let me know--might see you there. :)
 
i went to pure for prenatal yoga for my first, and just started prenatal pilates group class at in-motion for my 2nd based on recommendation here (thanks moms!)... i'm loving it... small studio and lots of attention by the instructor.

in case you are interested in prenatal yoga the instructor is off for maternity leave so they only offer prenatal pilates at the moment.

Yvonne does a combination of reformer work and gyro for me depending on my needs on that day. I love the circular motion of the gyro machine. Helps with my stiff spine and muscle immensely. Try it!

I've seen people working on the gyro machines. Unfortunately, I can't afford the private master instructor fees but would love to try it someday. You're really blessed to be able to work with Yvonne--she's great.
 
I'm a bit late here, but I just checked out the Yoga Room in Sheung Wan. The first trial class is free (with HKID), and then they have package or membership options to choose from. Found out after the trial class that there's also a joining fee (that's only waived if you sign up for a pkg that day). Nevertheless, the class was small and teacher was attentive. I really enjoyed it, and may sign up :)
 
Anyone know of pre-natal pilates/yoga places on the Kowloon side? I'm considering Pure Yoga at Quarry Bay as it is the closest I've found to where I will be living (Lam Tin). Any other suggestions? I wanted to look around...
