Pregnancy Yoga Sessions
Ready to Prepare for birth and promote your baby's health
A gentle, effective practice for expectant mums builds healthy confidence, promotes vitality during pregnancy and helps to prepare you for birth.
Giving birth requires us to enter a place within ourselves that daily life never takes us. It asks us to trust, to open and to let go. To squat for hours, be with our body, and enter an altered state where we lose all perceptions of time.
Pregnancy Yoga and Hypnobirthing are popular choices for many women once they discover they are pregnant, and combining their practices can greatly enhance the experience of giving birth.
Women for whom the caesarean is the only option and those for whom it is a choice will also find that the tools gained will benefit them enormously.
What can sessions involve?
Pregnancy yoga is aimed at helping you become comfortable during the changes that the second and third trimesters bring. The body can feel very blocked and heavy, and the sensations of the breath become uncomfortable.
Much of the class movement aims to open up the lung capacity, release leg and back tension, and improve pelvis flexibility. Participants also become familiar with breathing and relaxation techniques and strategies that they can use effectively in labour.
Strengthening postures to build stamina for labour, stretches to create space within the body for your growing baby, helping you feel more comfortable and practical breathing and relaxation techniques to empower you for a calm birth.
The sessions focus on preventing and dealing with common pregnancy-related ailments such as heartburn, sciatica and S.P.D. and involve massage techniques you can use during labour.
Practice will help you feel more comfortable with the emotional and physical changes during the second and third trimesters.
Pregnancy Yoga South Croydon will empower you to prepare for a more calm and relaxed birth – however, it shows up!
When can I start?
I recommend practising anytime from your 20th week. It is safe to do so right up to your birth—no previous experience is necessary.
The results speak for themselves; read my happy mums' testimonials and birth stories.
"Evidence shows that a weekly practice of pregnancy yoga decreases anxiety…"
Who is this suitable for and when to begin?
You can join this class anytime from 20-weeks, and it is safe to practice right up to birth.
Even if it’s not your first pregnancy, you may want to consider attending as every pregnancy, labour and delivery are different, so even seasoned pros can benefit from a refresh.
With this being a favoured class, most mums continue once they have joined. Keep in mind that the sooner you register, the more likely you are to ensure you have secured a place.
This Pregnancy Yoga South Croydon class is suitable for all birth choices and is available to anyone who desires to create a more calm and confident birthing experience.
