Pregnancy is the beginning of a wonderful journey between a mother and her baby. It is also a time of physical and emotional change, by practising prenatal yoga a woman can prepare both physically and mentally for childbirth and beyond.
Yoga means “Union” or oneness of the body and mind. It consist of carrying out various asana’s (postures) combined with focus on the breath. Movement through the asana’s should be done slowly and in harmony with your breath, focusing on what your body is feeling and working within your limitations. Not only do you reap the benefits of a physical workout combined with opening the various energy channels in your body, it brings a greater self awareness to you the woman. It allows you time to nurture yourself in a safe, warm & encouraging environment with like minded people. In turn allowing you to relax and enjoy your new found bodily changes and to connect with your unborn baby.
