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 and this can help ease back problems,
which are common in pregnant women.
Yoga continues to have benefits after pregnancy, too. Postnatal
yoga, which can be started about six weeks after the birth,
strengthens abdominal muscles and your pelvic floor.
It also helps you to get back
to your pre-pregnancy shape faster. At least
as importantly, yoga helps you cope with the emotional highs and lows
of having a new baby to take care of.
Private classes available.
