• NEW FOR 2009 - COUPLES YOGA FOR PREGNANCY & LABOUR- St. Mary's, Wimbledon Village

 

• - I will be offering a yoga class for couples on Saturday 17th October, 3-5pm . It will be a birth rehearsal in sort, basically including our partners in the physical practice yoga of yoga during pregnancy and what to expect during labour. This will have limited spaces so please book early. This class will be co-taught with Lisa Askem www.benditlikelisa.com

As the proud mother of twin boys, I cannot recommend enough the practice of yoga during pregnancy. It not only conditions the body to the ever changing needs of pregnancy but it also provides that all important stress free time for yourself, your body and your baby (or babies!).

The asanas in the class are tailored specifically for pregnancy. Breathing techniques are an essential part of the pregnancy class and work wonders toward alleviating stress and overall discomfort and important to know for labour. The class in typical yoga style begins and ends in relaxation, taking time out of our busy days to completely unwind and tune into the beautiful creation within us.

Exercise as a whole is encouraged throughout pregnancy, and surveys show that a lady who continues to exercise in early pregnancy can usually continue throughout the entire 40 weeks. The classes are open to ladies at least 12 weeks pregnant, although in some cases we can start you earlier.

I have attended workshops with Janet Balaskas at the Active Birth Centre in North London and have trained in Birth Rehearsal from the Birthlight Foundation.
