Inside you is an innate wisdom that intuitively
understands about the very natural process of birth. We help you reconnect with
this wisdom, guiding you through a class specifically designed for the journey
of pregnancy. Linking yoga postures with the breath will lead you to new
discoveries, bringing awareness to the mind, body and spirit, and also the
spirit of your baby. The program, conducted in a calm, peaceful environment will
help strengthen the uterus and pelvic muscles, improve circulation, aid in
digestion, exercise the spine, relieve fatigue and tension and increase overall
comfort.
Yoga can also alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy such as
nausea, constipation, swelling, back pain and sciatica. Breathing techniques
will be practiced. This allows the chest to open and helps to improve
circulation in both mother and baby, ensuring a better supply of oxygen to the
blood. It also calms the nerves and gives the mother greater control of
her breathing during labor. Prenatal yoga keeps the body healthy and
flexible. A safe, open community allows you to freely discuss any issues,
from discomforts and concerns, to the wonderful new changes your body and baby
are experiencing.
