Yoga is a wonderful helper to the pregnant and new mother. It is
a way of releasing tension in her muscles and joints to bring
about a deep relaxation. It helps her optimise her health, develop
strength and stamina and prepare for birth and the new chapter in
her life.
Yoga can help pregnant women progress through their pregnancy with minimal
discomfort. It also helps the birth and post-delivery stages.
With the help of a good teacher yoga can prepare
women emotionally, mentally and physically for the one of life’s biggest
transitions – whether it is a first or fifth pregnancy.
Posture is also improved by yoga practice and this can help ease back problems
and pelvic pain
which are both common in pregnancy.
Please note there are currently no Yoga classes specific to pregnancy
available, however the following general Hatha Yoga classes are suitable for pregnancy, with some modifications in some poses. These modifications will be explained to you when you attend the class:
