Pregnancy yoga

Pregnancy yoga is a wonderful tool that strengthens you physically and mentally as we work with body, breath, energy levels, emotions and insights.

• You do exercises that strengthen your pregnant body without straining, boost your energy, and relieve common minor ailments during pregnancy.
• Other practices help relieve stress and anxiety, and promote relaxation and restful sleep.
• Your body awareness will increase and you learn to use your breath actively - both are invaluable tools for birth.
• You will learn about birthing positions that optimize your baby's passage out, making it easier on both of you.
• You will experience close contact to your baby and strengthen your emotional connection.
• When you take care of yourself and your well-being you also give your baby the best start in life.

Classes
Pregnancy yoga is Hatha yoga optimized for the pregnant woman. It contains gentle postures, done in a slow pace, plus breath awareness, meditation, mantra and relaxation.

Participants

Pregnancy yoga does not require previous experience with yoga. All pregnant women can follow and benefit from the classes. We recommend pregnant women without any yoga experience to rest in the first trimester and practice Pregnancy yoga from the second trimester. If on the other hand you have previous yoga experience, feel free to join also in your first trimester. You can then continue the practice for the rest of your pregnancy.

If you have any questions, please send and email or give us a call.
