Each week we will journey through breathing exercises beneficial to the process of pregnancy and labour. These techniques will help you find your inner calm and strength on this transformational journey. The mindful movement practices we explore combine a selection of modified classical yoga postures as well as specifically tailored pregnancy yoga sequences to help accommodate your ever changing body to allow a sense of spaciousness around your baby and bump.
During the course we will explore practices which help you tune into your body's natural wisdom. These practices are aimed to help you find a place of inner calm and develop confidence and empowerment on your own unique journey towards motherhood. This course is open to all levels of yoga practitioner, from complete beginner to advanced yogi. Pregnancy is a great time to reset and find a new rhythm to suit you and your baby.

The pelvic floor and pregnancy:
What happens to the pelvic floor during pregnancy?
During the process of pregnancy our pelvic floor muscles soften and weaken helping this area stretch for the natural process of birth. When extra pressure is put on to the pelvic floor (e.g coughing, laughing, sneezing) urine may pass involuntarily because of a more relaxed pelvic floor. Carrying the pregnancy naturally weakens the pelvic floor muscles, it is necessary for the birth process and because of this it's important for all women to incorporate some form of pelvic floor exercise during and after pregnancy.
How can yoga and pelvic floor exercises help during pregnancy?
In this course you will learn techniques to help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Although it is important to strengthen the pelvic floor you will also learn the important of learning how to fully release the pelvic floor. It is important throughout pregnancy to encourage these muscles to work optimally in both functions. We strengthen for stabilisation and support of the pelvic area and we release to experience optimal opening during the natural process of birth. Baby's are born on the exhalation, so in pregnancy yoga we learn how to contract our pelvic floor muscles on the inhale and how to release on the exhale. Although this can feel different to many yoga practices, it can be a powerfully beneficial practice for birth preparation.
Investment: £45 for the full course | 6 weeks including access to meditation audio links.
