A Labour of Love DVD

Let the yoga studio come to you

A labour of love is a personal one-to-one session between one of Ireland’s most experienced Yoga instructors Sighle Mc Donnell and Dee O’Rourke who is 8 months pregnant with her 4th child. Sophie.

 This DVD takes you through a practical programme, suitable for all levels, whether you have prior experience of Yoga or not. The DVD is set out in five independent sections, each of which can be practised separately. Written guidelines are included to ensure maximum safety, comfort and enjoyment for each and every viewer.

The 5 sections of A Labour of Love embrace all aspects of the practise of yoga, namely; breath awareness, supported floor postures, sitting postures, standing postures and relaxation.

Sighle takes Dee through clearly illustrated examples of how to develop an understanding of the breath –which is a vital tool at all the stages of pregnancy and labour. This has never been illustrated in such detail before on DVD.
