Hi guys,
I'm Leah, the Yoga Doc. I qualified as a doctor in 2008 and work in the NHS as an obstetrician and gynaecologist.
After practising yoga for over 20 years and supporting countless women through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period, I came to the realisation that I could offer a unique skillset by combining my experience in and commitment to women’s health with a passion for yoga.
I have designed a number of short prenatal yoga videos, in response to requests from my students. These can either be practiced individually or linked together to design your own longer practice.
If you enjoy these classes, I have a more comprehensive course, my unique 4-pillar pregnancy yoga plan. Filmed in my own pregnancy, it contains longer classes, plus educational videos helping you to understand the physiology of birth.
For more information, have a look on my website www.theyogadoc.org and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel to be notified when I upload new videos. 🙏🏻

There will be some specifically designed postnatal classes coming very soon, but in the meantime I thought I'd pop up this gentle beginner class which could be used in the postnatal period. I would advise you to skip the chaturanga poses (which are basically a push up) and use the modified (knees down) version, unless you have been given the all clear by a women's health physiotherapist and hav...

Pelvic girdle pain, sometimes known as SPD [symphysis pubis dysfunction] is extremely common affecting 20% of pregnancies and is something that I'm asked about a lot as both an obstetrician and a yoga teacher.

I read or saw somewhere they advised pregnant women not to do any lying down or twisted moves, but when I tried this yoga practice, I could feel my hip and pelvic are thanking me! It feels sooooo good!
I agree with so many of the comments here. If you are experiencing extensive pelvic pain or are in your third trimester, this video is not suitable and even aggravating to the condition.
As someone who has done yoga throughout my pregnancy (and prior) can confirm this is definitely not all appropriate for the end of the third trimester when bump is huge and babies head is engaged. Actually cackling at some of these poses and can’t believe I even continued to try. Swinging your leg up and into a lunge like that 😂 where is bump to go? Feel like I could have injured myself attempting it. Also, 15 minutes laying on your back? When bab is big it instinctively feels like a bad idea. I think a few disclaimers could be helpful. 😅
Just found this for the first time today at 34 weeks as I’m starting to get PGP. I’ll be following more of your videos from now on. Thank you!
We hear about this pain with ladies in pregnancy. Is there anybody out there who gets the pains after menopause? Can this yoga practice help with SPD in this later stage of life?
I did 10 minutes and couldn't breathe anymore. I believe exercises are great and they look good but for me it was incredibly uncomfortable :( I can't lay down on my back for straight 15 minutes without discomfort or heartburn. Sorry.
I really wanted to like this practice! But a lot of these poses are really difficult third trimester and I don’t think consider the movement limitations of a belly.
It's has taken me to reach 24 weeks before discovering your page... I heard you talk on the 'The Birth-ed Podcast'. I wanted to share this because you haven't came up via social media channels amongst wading through many online pregnancy yoga channels. I love your content, approach and your background is comforting and supportive. A real gift, thank you!
I was really nervous for this practice and then, it hurt like I thought it would lol but I took it easy and finished the video. I realised my left side hurts way more than my right and in the end, I felt really good. So thank you!
Thank you, I have done this practice 5/6 times now. As Im limited in my physical activity, I still want to keep my pelvic floor strong and also bee able keep moving in the house for the last part of my pregnancy. I really like this practice I can do that without making my pain worse, also feel good after, is it possible to post more of PGP friendly yoga practices? Thank you
I just did this and feel great! The pain is so much less now. I walked a bit too long a few days ago and ended up barely being able to stand up or walk. Had to rest for 3 days for the worst pain to pass before doing this. I'm 20 weeks pregnant and had no issue with the poses. Thank you!!
Thank you for this class, it was exactly what I needed today 🙏
Very helpful to have a class focused on pelvic pain, thanks for sharing! Just a bit confused with the breathing/pelvic tensioning/releasing. In all the prenatal classes I attended I learnt to release the pelvic muscles while exhaling to follow the natural connection of breathing and diaphragm/pelvic muscles
My PT told me that the type of breathing recommended in this video can cause pelvic dysfunction. The general advice is that the pelvic floor should be tightened during exhale and released during inhale.
it's good - but frustrating when the video gets interrupted with adverts! Sound quality is tinny.
So glad I found these videos. Thank you!
35 weeks pregnant and this was just too much time on the back. as yoga teacher myself it was fine to put myself in alternatives but it would have been nice to have some given, as I ended up stopping halfway.
Thanks for this video! 27 weeks and it was challenging but my body feels great now. The pigeon pose was difficult with my big belly.
This is best video for more details.❤😊 Thanks a lot
Too long on the back for me, constantly getting dizzy. You could have done most of the exercises not the back which would make more sense for pregnancy.
I gave myself awful pelvic girdle pain and back pain after going for too long of a walk and I couldn't move for days. I then found this video and it has been absolutely amazing! It releases all the tension in my back and realigns my hips. Have done it 3 times in the last 10 days. I am 38 weeks pregnant so I used the extra props to help me and just rolled over if I felt uncomfortable on my back. No other video has helped like this one - thank you!
Propping up on a few pillows helped a lot with the dizzy feeling
Too excruciatingly painful to do this at 35 weeks. 😣 I have severe SPD.
I wished this would be helpful but the first 3/4 on my back made me so dizzy and then the last segment I found very painful and impossible to do :( this is my third pregnancy with SPD and it’s a struggle. Can’t find anything that would actually help. And I am seeing pelvic floor therapist and physiotherapist twice a week 😢
This routine is not good for someone who cannot breathe while pregnant on their back or has SPD. The instructor does not take care to pregnant women with these issues.
Agreed
I have pelvic girdle and back pain 28 weeks pregnant with twins, and unfortunately I did not find this video at helpful. It is really not possible/ recommended for pregnant women to lie flat on the back for so long. I had to stop after 5 mins.
I'm 33 weeks pregnant, and just want to say this is the best yoga stretch routine I have found for PGP and SPD!! The exercises are not too advanced for me personally and I'm happy to spend the 10-15mins on my back to relieve the symptoms as I think I have spent longer on the midwife's/hospital bed being scanned to be honest lol! Thank you, I've done this about 5-6 times now and can't get enough of it!
This was awesome. Thank you so much. I am 36 weeks and have been struggling with a lot of pain and the practice felt wonderful for it.
Loving your classes!
Wow, this felt great! Thank you for this chest opener. I was feeling like a brick all around, but this has really gotten me loosened up. Thank you!
It’s usually hard for me to follow yoga classes on TH-cam (I’m new to it) but this was super easy to follow. I’ve had pelvic pain for a month and nothing has helped so I thought I’d look up some prenatal yoga to help it and I felt so much better after doing it just once! Thank you so much
Dissapointed that almost all of this practice is spent on your back? I have been told by my midwives not to lay on my back so this "pregnancy" yoga was not really accesible for me.
I had to stop early. Being on my back and pregnant is not a good feeling. I could barely get up after
Lovely and your voice is so soothing xx
Is this safe to do everyday :) ? 19 weeks pregnant and I seem to stiffen up throughout the day
I found this much too intense for 3rd trimester /impossible to do some of the poses with a big bump!
Great session! Feel a lot of relief after it, including the unexpected bonus of my spine, which cracked quite a bit as we worked through the sequence - thank you :))))
Not easy bringing crossed legs up over a pregnant belly. Is this meant for late pregnancy?
I had such bad pain I could barely walk around, and after doing this and icing my back, it feels as good as new. The pain was awful and I am so glad I found this now when I'm just in my 21st week.
Unbelievable! My pelvic pain has started around 27-30 weeks in my last two pregnancies. This time I started this video right away and it has saved me! Thank you!
I've got horrible SI Joint pain & tried the video today prepared to stop part way, but didn't need to and am now feeling a bit better. Will try & do this daily, while I wait impatiently for my physio referral! Thank you x
Couldn't make it past the first 6 minutes...too much moving in ways that it made my pbs feel worse :/
Namaste Yogi
This made me feel so much relief in my body, thank you!
You're so welcome! So glad it helped x
A great class! Started doing the class in my first trimester as I was experiencing pelvic girdle pain. Am now in my third trimester, still continue to do the class, and my pelvis feels great.
That's so great to hear, so glad it's helped x
Thank you Leah! I have been feeling a bit off the past weekend so I did one of your EASE practices and this short one here. A gentle start for the week ahead. :)
BEWARE !!! The Yoga Doc is Mark Weinberger, a felon fraudster. Look him up online. Don’t give ur money to his programs. HE HAS HARMED SO MANY PPL.

Sad that I only just discovered this at 38 weeks and could have been more comfortable earlier! Feeling instantly better and have saved the video to come back to. People are commenting that the exercises aren't appropriate for third trimester and I wanted to point out that I didn't find that at all, although I feel huge and awkward. Can only agree that everyone should listen to their own bodies, but certainly no need to write this off if you're further along. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and so glad you found it useful. This is why I make these videos and so lovely to hear it helped you. Good luck with the last bit of your pregnancy x
Amazing yoga girl 👏🙏🏻
A lifesaver during pregnancy- really resolves my pelvic girdle pain when everything else fails- THANK YOU!
Ah so lovely to hear. I'm really glad you find this helpful.
