How does Prenatal Yoga benefit you?
Practicing prenatal yoga can bring forth a lot of benefits for women. It can aid in experiencing pregnancy with minimal discomfort, help prepare for childbirth, and offer support during the postpartum period. During this phase, yoga can help regulate and adjust to the changes happening at all levels of your being.
On a physical level
-
It develops endurance and strength in hips, back, arms, and shoulders to support your growing baby's weight.
-
It eliminates muscle tension and stiffness while relieving pregnancy discomforts for increased comfort.
-
It improves posture and this can help alleviate back problems, which are common in pregnant women.
-
Yoga prepares women for birth by promoting breathing, body awareness, reducing worry, and adapting to new situations.
-
Learning deep breathing techniques can help you better cope with the physical demands of labor and motherhood, while also promoting calmness during stressful times.
-
A regular yoga practice teaches you to relax when faced with pain, instead of tensing up.
-
Increases flexibility and elasticity, allowing for easier adaptation to different positions and potential pain reduction during labor.
-
Maintains or improves your overall physical condition and increases your energy and vitality levels.
-
It calms the nervous system, helping digestion to function properly, promoting restful sleep and optimal performance of your immune system.
-
Improves balance and helps stimulate circulation. It also helps reduce fluid retention.
On an emotional level
-
​It helps by calming emotions, providing a feeling of tranquillity and peace.
-
It provides a special time to connect with the changes happening in your body and with your baby.
-
It helps increase your confidence in your natural abilities to cope with childbirth.
-
Practising prenatal yoga is a great way to meet other pregnant women and become part of a community.
-
Being in a positive and supportive environment can give you a regular emotional boost and maintain motivation to continue practising and preparing.
On a mental level
-
It calms and quiets the mind, helping you relax and be more centered and focused.
-
The practice of yoga continues to have benefits after pregnancy. Postnatal yoga strengthens the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor. It also helps your body return to the pre-pregnancy state more quickly.
-
Yoga practice can be restarted around 6 weeks after birth. It is advisable to continue for another 4 - 6 months, since the ligaments and muscles have not yet returned to normal, and there is a need to slow down and not strain the body.
This is how I accompany you
In our daily lives, we tend to gravitate towards active or masculine yang energy. Achieving balance requires nurturing yin or feminine energy too, highlighting the significance of embracing a state of presence.
​
During the classes, I encourage you to maintain a posture while focusing on your breath and being mindful of the present moment. This practice helps cultivate patience, acceptance, and receptivity. Additionally, I invite you to perform some fluid movements to release tension from your body and mind. Finding ways to boost our happiness through music and free movement, can potentially enhance oxytocin levels.
​
I encourage you to use gravity and breathing to connect with your body's rhythms, offering guidance to explore your internal space. Sometimes using touch to help you fully experience and inhabit each part of your body.
​
I encourage my students to listen to themselves, connect with their body's wisdom, and respect their rhythms and limits.
My instructions are clear, simple and precise, emphasizing the importance of coordinating movement with breath.
I offer group classes and private sessions.​​
