What is a pre-natal yoga class like?
The practice of pre-natal yoga is designed to promote health and well-being for both the mother and growing baby. It aids mothers-to-be by providing useful tools and strategies to help manage the hurdles they may encounter during the birthing process. As your body transforms during your pregnancy, the class helps you meet the challenges you will face as your body changes. Pre-natal yoga uses gentle, safe stretches to increase your sense of openness through the hips, abdomen and chest; breathing exercises to increase your sense of calmness and focus; relaxation techniques to release deeply held tension and stress; and a variety of movements and postures to mentally and physically prepare you for the birth of your child. Amid the busy and hectic lifestyles we lead, pre-natal yoga is a wonderful way to take time for yourself and your growing baby.
