Pregnancy Yoga classes in JHB/CPT focused on nurturing the expectant mother throughout pregnancy, during birth and beyond into the early days of motherhood
Recommended by most doctors and midwives, prenatal yoga offers a multitude of benefits to both mother and baby throughout pregnancy, during birth and beyond:
Joint exercises - perfect for poor circulation, swelling/water retention and excellent to improve mobility. Also enhances squatting and other birthing positions.
Gentle Stretching - maintains supple and toned muscles.
Breathing – balances the autonomic nervous system which regulates the major systems of the body and controls hormonal secretions. Deep breathing increases the intake of oxygen to both mother and baby. ‘Birthing breaths’ aid in the preparation for a calm birthing.
Yoga Nidra - Blood pressure is also lowered and during this relaxation technique and one gains the equivalent of 4 hours deep sleep. Yoga Nidra also promotes inner communication with your child and assists in releasing any impressions associated with the fear of birthing.
In addition, by developing a deeper awareness of your body, a powerful connection between a mother and her child is established.
Preprare and nurture moms and babes for the path of their lifetime!
