Pregnancy and Mum
and Baby Yoga in Earlsfield
Whilst pregnant you are going through a
transitional period where it is vital to maintain physical and
mental well-being. Yoga will increase your self- awareness as your
body goes through these changes. Yoga will help establish a calm
mind, inner balance and strength to take you through the pregnancy
and beyond. Pre-natal Yoga encourages lymphatic drainage reducing
fluid retention and swollen hands and feet; encourages deep
relaxation through deep breathing helping to stabilize emotions as
your body goes through hormonal changes and prepares for birth;
tones your pelvic floor muscles vital to support your uterus and
other organs during pregnancy, and increases their elasticity
preparing them for birth.

pre-natal and birth preparation classes and

Birth Preparation
workshops
Book now for our birth
preparation workshop with Lon Gibbons and Indira Lopez on
Saturday 17th July 2-5pm.
The workshops are for couples but individuals are welcome. The price
is £65. The partner can attend for free.
The
workshops are designed for mothers and
fathers-to-be for those in the the last
trimester of pregnancy.
Our Childbirth Preparation Workshops are
different because they are holistic: preparing
the body, the mind and the heart.
We work through a variety of
multi-sensory activities to tap into your
body-mind wisdom. We know that learning is more
than just accumulating information; it is about
practice and envisioning what you want to be
real. Nowadays, parents-to-be have an
overwhelming amount of information about
childbirth.
Unfortunately, that information is
targeted at the left side of the brain -the
logical, analytical and rational.
However, we are now rediscovering that
giving birth has more to do with turning off
that left side and allowing the right side -the
instinctive, intuitive, and emotional- to guide
us through this amazing journey. Parents-to-be
explore the power of birthing with awareness,
even when their birth experience is not what
they had imagined. Some of the topics covered
include:
·
The physiology of birth
·
The labyrinth of labour (stages)
·
Exploring myths and tackling fears
·
The mind: pain coping mechanisms
·
Staying in the present moment: the use of the
breath
·
The wisdom of the body: active birth and yoga
·
The natural continuum: bonding with your baby
·
Breastfeeding as an act of love
·
The postnatal period: recovery and rest
