Pre-Natal Yoga
Discovering yoga through your pregnancy is a wonderful
experience. As your body changes and new life grows within you, yoga can help
bring your mind and body into balance. This can be a tremendously grounding
experience. Some benefits of pre-natal yoga include:
- Fewer aches and pains, increased muscle tone, improved
posture, and wellbeing from stretching and strengthening muscles.
- Stress and tension relief by training your body to
relax. This can be especially helpful during labour.
- Enhancing energy and relaxation by focusing on
breathing and meditation. These practices help prepare for labour and
delivery.
- Developing a strong connection with your baby!
Classes are one and a half hours long and include guided
meditation, use of mantras, breathing and relaxation techniques, and active and
passive physical postures.
Pre-natal classes are suitable for women who are more than
13 weeks pregnant right until their due dates. However, we advise you to begin
classes before the 32nd week of pregnancy. Contact us if you would like to
start after your 32nd week.
