yoga pré & post natal

Pregnancy is an extraordinary and pivotal time in a woman's life!

Conceiving and giving birth to a child remains an experience filled with emotions, wonder, and questions that can sometimes lead to anxieties. 
Everything is changing, evolving. 
The body's transformation during pregnancy adds physical discomforts such as organ compression, fatigue, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, back pain, and heavy legs.

As the name suggests, this course is for pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy or those who have given birth within the last six months. 
The benefits of prenatal yoga help maintain good physical, emotional, and psychological health, ideal for the health of both the expectant mother and her baby! 
On a physical level, the postures known as "asanas" gently improve: muscle tone, flexibility, and energy, without putting too much strain on the joints. 
As the belly grows and the center of gravity shifts, asanas help maintain better balance and posture. Blood circulation is stimulated, reducing water retention and back pain. And importantly, yoga strengthens the pelvic floor muscles.

On a respiratory level, regular practice of pranayama techniques increases breath depth and trains the mind to remain calm, which contributes to increased emotional stability. Mastering breath control proves a powerful ally during childbirth, as it allows for better pain management, thus making labor easier.

Postnatal yoga is also an excellent exercise for a quick recovery after the baby's birth and for toning the pelvic floor. 
The practice of mantras is recommended for expectant mothers, as it is a powerful tool for concentration, relaxation, and letting go. 
A mantra is a Sanskrit word that refers to certain sounds (syllables, words, phonemes, or groups of words) whose vibrations are believed to have various therapeutic effects. I am happy to guide you through yoga on this journey that will allow you to reconnect with yourself, your body, and your baby.

A single session costs €15, or €13 per session with a 10-session pass.
