Prenatal Yoga
Benefits
Due to the release of hormones during pregnancy, joints in the body
loosen. Women are more flexible than ever before in their lives, making
this the perfect time to begin yoga! Yoga is beneficial for many of the
complaints women have before, during and after birth.
During Pregnancy
Positions are taught to aid in relieving fatigue, back pain, nausea,
headaches, edema, and cramping. Breathing and relaxation techniques
help to stabilize emotions and can be used for insomnia as well. Some
postures open and release the pelvis and prepare the pelvic floor for birth
by bringing greater flexibility and circulation to the area. Poses are done to
increase flexibility to the lower back which relieves pressure on the spine
to prevent lower back pain.
During Labor
Squatting and kneeling poses teach the use of gravity to assist the baby
through the birth canal. Yoga breathing techniques release endorphins,
which aid the body in handling pain. Breathing and meditation also induce
relaxation, which helps the body yield to the birth.
After Birth
Yoga aids in restoring the uterus, abdomen and pelvic floor. It also offers
relief for back and breast discomfort while also stimulating the mammary
glands. The stress reduction techniques are very useful in the first days of
motherhood while adjusting to the new lifestyle.
What will I get from this class?
Prenatal Yoga Classes provide a rich and nurturing forum for pregnant
women to:
- Learn self help measures to relieve many physical discomforts
associated with pregnancy and the postpartum period. - Learn healthy ways to reduce stress and anxiety before and during
labor. - Practice effective pain coping skills.
- Develop confidence and trust in your body for birth.
- Acknowledge and integrate your pregnancy and birth as a rite of
passage into motherhood. - Bond with your pre-born baby.
- Make supportive connections with other pregnant women.
- Address the emotional concerns of pregnancy, birth and
motherhood. - Honor the difficulties and celebrate the joys of pregnancy.
