This Prenatal yoga class helps physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually to nurture your body and growing baby. Muscles are strengthened and stretched releasing tension and assisting in maintaining good posture & keeping a positive outlook while clearing the mind of the stresses associated with pregnancy. This class assists in relieving back pain, nausea, heartburn and improves sleep and stamina. Breathing techniques are utilized along with visualization to assist with labour and birth, empowering moms to believe in themselves, to trust and surrender.

Pre-natal Yoga is suitable for beginners, through to advanced yoginis. It is effortless, non-strenuous and has a meditational quality, connecting to the sources of energy that empower women to give birth to a new life. Through Pre-natal Yoga, muscle tone is strengthened and improved, bringing flexibility to hips, pelvis and spine. Backache is relieved and posture corrected, making for a more comfortable pregnancy. The postures widen the pelvic diameters, positioning the baby properly.

Pre-natal Yoga also encourages relaxation and a woman forms a bond with her baby from conception, through birth and beyond. Pregnancy is the beginning of a life - long relationship with your child,  come and develop this beautiful bond right at the beginning. Give yourself nurturing sessions, relieving discomfort and connecting with the source of all life. As you surrender, so too will you be preparing for birthing your baby.
