Yoga is the ideal exercise for pregnant women and is widely recommended by doctors and midwives as an excellent preparation for birth. Students learn simple but effective breath and relaxtion techniques, yoga postures to manage common ailments (such as swollen joints, heartburn and constipation), and visualisation practices to build confidence and assist in easeful birth. Pregnancy Yoga enhances the vitality, mobility, general health and emotional wellbeing of the expectant mother; it also provides a valuable quiet space in which to bond with your unborn child and prepare for birth.
Tanya is a qualified and experienced specialist Pregnancy Yoga teacher. No previous Yoga experience is necessary, mats and any other equipment are supplied. Ideal from 14 weeks until birth.
'We had arranged a homebirth which we largely managed to have, but after 10 hours Zach had turned awkwardly and needed some help coming out. That said the whole labour was very calm and relaxed on my part and Zach's heartbeat was steady throughout. I dealt with labour really well and had no pain relief, using focused breathing (including a bit of the breathing we had done in classes,) visualisations and massage.
I feel that the pregnany yoga was a huge help during my pregnancy and the birth, it gave me some great strategies and positions and put me in the right state of mind mentally, so thank you very much.'
