Pregnancy and postnatal yoga

"Don’t hope. Learn and plan."
One of the joys of pregnancy yoga is hearing how yoga made all the difference, especially from second, third and fourth time mums who wanted to empower themselves to a better birth.

Some antenatal classes are better than others, it seems at doing this. There is a trend towards some classes at the moment which mums say taught some good skills and gave the partner a significant role in the labour. This can seem appealing to pregnant women, depending on the partner they have. But yoga gives you the internal strength and skills to birth well even if the dad is not suited to being your doula. "It was a game-changer for me when I realised that fathers in the delivery suite is a new phenomenon."

Successful labour and birth need practical and movement-based tools for troubleshooting like baby repositioning or coping with induction. “The yoga I learnt for coping with a posterior labour and using lots of positions, so the baby wasn’t stuck, was much more useful than the breathing and relaxation.”

Give the gift of yoga to a pregnant mum. Yoga is a great gift during pregnancy. Nothing else naturally connects with the magic of the breath for a healthy pelvic floor, body and mind. It encourages mums to let go, to surrender in a way that other exercise does not. Pregnancy-specialist yoga classes give the invaluable tools to cope not just with the physical challenges of pregnancy but with immense emotional and psychological turmoil of the motherhood journey. She will emerge stronger inside and out and be encircled in a sisterhood unlike any other exercise-based class.

For millennia, birth and birth preparation was a woman-centered process. Gain that back with a yoga sisterhood! Empower yourself with the magic of yoga:
• How to use awareness of gravity and pelvis for birth
• Movement during pregnancy and optimal foetal positioning
• Movement during labour for a quicker, more comfortable birth
• Breathing for pregnancy health and for labour and birthing
• Perineal massage and pelvic floor awareness
• Deep relaxation –the power of letting go

Pregnancy Yoga prepares the body, mind and spirit to give birth and to enter a new phase of motherhood. Uniquely focused on the women's birthing power and experience, join now to find out why yoga promotes the easiest and quickest labour and birth experience.
