Why Prenatal Yoga?
The classes provide an opportunity to develop greater vitality and awareness of your body that is now home for two, as well as deepen your relationship with your baby.Postures, breath work, vocal toning and meditation will be explored to cultivate flexibility, calm and confidence in preparation for labor and childbirth.It will enhance relaxation, comfort, and enjoyment to help manifest a calm birthing process, thus reducing pain and increasing the joy of giving birth. Practicing yoga will help prepare you for an active and natural birth.
Yoga is truly ideal for pregnant women. When practiced mindfully, yoga increases flexibility, strength, circulation and balance. Pregnancy is such a physical experience and a woman often becomes hyper aware of the many changes her body is going through.
Yoga allows her to adapt more gracefully to these changes and to feel a sense of integration and appreciation for her body. Many women find that regular yoga practice helps to reduce swelling, back & leg pain, and insomnia.
