5 wk Pregnancy Yoga Course
February 26, 2020 @ 10:45 am - 12:15 pm
Practicing yoga in pregnancy can help prepare you physically, mentally and emotionally for labour, birthing, and motherhood. By combining strengthening poses with pelvic stability as well as creating space in the pelvis can minimise discomforts in pregnancy such as back pain, pelvic pain, and varicose veins. Poses that support good posture can encourage deeper fuller breathing, benefiting both Mum and baby and even give Mums to be more energy!
Combining poses with efficient breathing practices and deep relaxation helps to create more ease in the body as the pregnancy progresses, helping to embrace changes and establish a connection with the baby.
With over 10 years teaching pre-natal yoga, our teacher Pamela is also a HypnoBirthing practitioner (childbirth education) so she uses her experience in this field to provide students with basic birthing knowledge to better understand their bodies, trusting their birthing instincts and tap into their feminine power!
Our 5-week course will allow Mums to gain confidence and knowledge of how their bodies can find comfort and ease discomfort through yoga. Each week will add a new technique, breath practice and relaxation to build a tool kit to draw upon whenever needed through pregnancy, labour or birth. Even if you choose to have a caesarean, the tips and techniques can help you prepare and aid recovery, improve bonding and feeding.
