Pregnancy meditation and prenatal yoga
Prenatal Yoga
Prenatal Yoga is a supportive practice that honours the sacred journey of pregnancy. The foundations and philosophy of yoga are a wonderful tapestry of wisdom and support for many women.
Additionally, the yogic breath and pranayama practices can empower women throughout their pregnancy journey and prepare them for the birth experience. This nourishing, internal practice supports the needs of the body as it changes throughout each trimester and is tailored to strengthen the body for labour and to soothe the pressure our body can encounter throughout pregnancy.
A Special Journey
When pregnant many women can feel a heightened intuition and this includes a deepening understanding of their body and their baby. For this reason, we encourage a practice that is slower and allows for a more personal intuitive pace, we turn in and make room to listen to our inner compass and respond with loving self-care.
Poses and sequences take into consideration the changes associated with pregnancy such as structural shifts, mobility, flexibility changes, and variations in balance.
The relationship and power of the breath is key to the Mother’s journey and will play a vital role in the months and years ahead, encouraging a steady, stable, and safe aura to nourish our own path and our children.
The Benefits of Prenatal Yoga
Prenatal yoga supports consistency in practice and encourages continued strength in body and mind. Classes support the physical journey alongside the psychological inspiring grounding, reflection, and resolve alongside significant personal and life changes.
The practice takes into consideration contraindications associated with pregnancy, offering varied adjustments and levels of modifications to support your individual needs.
Yoga is more than fancy movements, stretches, and exercise it is an internal practice, a way of being, and a daily state of mind. Yoga is the life we live off the mat. It is learning to surrender to life and live in the moment - this is a powerful key to ‘steady wellbeing’ as you become a mother.
