Post Natal Yoga

2011-09-20T21:38:00.001-07:00

TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AT 11.30am

These classes are designed for mums who want to work on maintaining their flexibility and strength whilst being able to bring their bubs into class with them. The classes will include poses to help rebuild your core strength, realigning the spine, hips and pelvis as well as releasing muscle tension, particularly around the shoulders and upper spine due to breast-feeding and carrying your newborn. We ask that you bring along a blanket for your bub to lie on and that you recommence these classes after your 6 week post natal check with your caregiver. Bubs up to crawling age are all welcome.

If you would like to arrange a class for you and your mother's group at a more suitable time than is currently provided on our timetable, please let us know and we can put on a class for a group of 6 or more students.

Sun Salutation for Pregnancy

2009-03-18T13:54:00.000-07:00

We specialise in teaching PreNatal Yoga. Pregnancy is a time for expecting mums to nurture their bodies whilst going on this wonderful journey towards motherhood.

There are significant changes in a woman's body throughout pregnancy and it is beneficial to stay connected with these changes; observing the body’s amazing capacity to create from a place that is open, honest and without judgement. The journey of pregnancy, birth and beyond is a way of connecting to some of the core yogic principles of self-awareness, self-acceptance as well as the sense of letting go or surrendering to what is and what will be.

For more details on benefits and of PreNatal Yoga, please see the YOGA FOR PREGNANCY page.
