YOGA FOR PREGNANCY CLASSES

These classes are designed specifically for women from 14 weeks of pregnancy onwards, and are safe to practice even when overdue. A variety of modified yoga postures and breathing techniques are taught with special revelance to pregnancy and the minor complications that can arise. Classes also include birthing positions, use of birthing balls, leg strengthening movements, and finish with a 'bonding with the baby' guided relaxation or appropriate meditation.

Pre-natal Yoga classes are hugely popular and have proven to be very empowering in helping women cope with pregnancy, childbirth, and post partum in a calm and effective way. And because it helps minimise adrenalin responses, medical intervention in childbirth is often minimised also.

Senior midwife, Paula Brown from the Arrowe Park Hospital Wirral, has reported the benefits to me many times saying that pregnancy yoga has significantly helped many women deal with labour and childbirth in a very effective way, often making the whole process easier for the mother and baby and also the nursing staff. Information is usually given out in pregnancy packs and at ante-natal and labour in motion classes in the hospital.

We have received so many wonderful, magical and inspirational birthing stories from our new Yoga mums that it's a real honour and delight to be able to share them with you. We hope that you will share in their excitement but also see how beneficial and supportive Yoga can be before, during and after the birth of your baby.
