Why Prenatal Yoga?
Prenatal Yoga
The experience of pregnancy can be a rollercoaster of physical, emotional, and spiritual changes. Managing all of these changes means that it’s even more vital that we create space to care for ourselves. Prenatal yoga is an amazing way to connect to the needs of your body, your baby, and your spirit. Safely strengthening, opening, and relaxing postures accommodate the needs of your changing body and help to prepare you for birth.
Postnatal Yoga
The needs of the postpartum person are unlike that of any other time in life. Nutritional, structural, and emotional support are needed to help mama replenish the reserves and move into the next phase of motherhood and life.
Postnatal yoga addresses specific needs of the postpartum experience through breathwork and sequences that stabilize, strengthen, and relax key areas of the body. It is critical that this time is filled with rejuvenating foods and practices that will replenish depleted resources from pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding.
Sequences included targeted movement to address diastasis recti (abdominal separation) and pelvic floor concerns (prolapse, incontinence, pain). If you have specific concerns about these issues please find more info here.
Currently, Postnatal Yoga is only available in private sessions.
