Wellness Event, Saturday 17th May
The benefits of yoga in pregnancy includes:
Develops stamina and strength during pregnancy and for labour
Practising deep breathing which enables relaxation and is an essential tool for labour
Increasing the circulation in the body to help create a healthier environment for baby to develop
A calm mother means a calm baby
Relieving tension in the body to allow for the physical changes in the body and effect on the muscle groups
Dedicating time to connect with your body
If we are consciously breathing our blood pressure and heart rate is regulated keeping us in relaxation mode
Nurturing time - by stopping and slowing down from our busy days through yoga you are looking after yourself and your baby
What stages of pregnancy is it safe to try yoga?
Yoga is suitable to be practised all through pregnancy as long as the teacher is made aware! Rebecca taught up to 38 weeks pregnant with both her children so she’s very experienced with what you can and can’t do whilst pregnant.
If you are used to practising yoga then continuing your lessons is fine with adapted postures.
Some new students prefer to wait until after 12 weeks but this remains an individual decision.
Please feel free to join any of the current available classes - contact Rebecca for further info
