Pregnancy is a special time for every woman, and it deserves special attention and care. 

Yoga offers a lot of supportive tools and techniques, such as: 

• breathing (both energising and relaxing)

• gentle movement

• mindful stretching

• relaxation techniques 

• mental & emotional support;

 

We need to remember that prenatal yoga practice needs to be properly modified for both a woman and her baby - to bring them the best benefits.

​

In prenatal yoga practice we exclude exercise that are potentially uncomfortable and dangerous: deep twists, lying on the abdomen, core asanas, etc. We slightly change the pace and the proportion of the practice - yang is more available and a bit slower, yin is more nourishing, but we also don’t hold poses for too long - stagnation is not the best option for mums-to-be, especially in the last part of their pregnancies. We want to customise prenatal class in a way that everything is super safe, and moreover - beneficial. Yoga can counterbalance challenging parts of the pregnancy, not to mention the supportive preparation for the labor. 

​

Gentle & regular yoga practice can:

• reduce nausea

• improve the digestive and circulatory systems

• moderate the hormonal rollercoaster

• ease up aches and discomforts

• support the parasympathetic nervous system

• improve physiology and functioning of organs

• improve the posture

• reduce stress and anxiety

 

Every pregnancy is different, but there are important general rules for prenatal yoga practice - to learn them all apply to our Prenatal Yoga TTC! Now available online.
