Prenatal yoga allows you to focus on your pregnancy in a deeper way, creating the space and time you need to adjust to the changes taking place.
The asanas, breathing practices and deep relaxation techniques are designed to alleviate the physical discomforts of pregnancy, understand emotional ups and downs and prepare the body and mind for pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Prenatal yoga creates a sacred experience for you to bond with your baby, celebrate yourself and create the physical and emotional conditions essential for wellbeing during this time. This process of discovering a mothers inner power, optimal physical and emotional state and creating community is at the heart of my Prenatal Yoga classes.
Benefits of Prenatal Yoga
Alleviates physical discomforts - lack of energy, back pain, nausea, anxiety, headaches…you might wonder where that elusive pregnancy glow is! The practice of Prenatal yoga helps alleviate common pregnancy discomforts and prepare the body for optimal physical health essential for pregnancy and birth.
Emotional wellbeing - With all the hormonal changes pregnancy can be an emotional roller coaster. The practice of Prenatal Yoga helps smooth things out, creating the quiet to connect and understand ourselves so that we can get out of our way during birth!
Prepare for birth and beyond - Preparing the body for the physical and emotional exertion of birth (no matter what type of birth) will result in an easier birth and recovery. This is not just about preparing to be physically strong it is equally important to learn to release, open and let go. Over the months of practicing prenatal yoga, as you become more connected to yourself and your baby, you will become better able to listen to and trust your instincts. We don't know what will happen during our birth or pregnancy but we can prepare to be in our most connected physical, emotional and mental state to deal with whatever arises and make decisions from a strong and calm inner space.
