Discover the many benefits of prenatal yoga!
Many midwives and obstetricians recommend yoga for pregnancy because they notice a difference in how prenatal yoga women cope with labour and birth. Whether you are intending to give birth at the Birth Centre, home or hospital yoga is a great preparation for body, mind and spirit and will equip you with valuable labour skills to help you have a positive and empowered birth experience.
The classes include:
GENTLE STRETCHES and SPECIFIC YOGA POSTURES to prepare your body for using effective birth positions shown to make labour shorter, less painful and reduce the chances of medical intervention.
PRACTISE OF LABOUR SKILLS – regularly using these skills during class makes them second nature when you are in labour, the main ones are using the breath consciously, moving the body to help your baby move through your pelvis and reduce pain, making sounds to relieve tension and pain and being comfortable in ACTIVE BIRTH positions facilitate the birth process
STRENGTHENING postures to help you manage labour and be in helpful upright positions
RELAXATION – a vitally important practice to reduce and relieve tension not only during pregnancy but also to use the techniques during labour to allow birth hormones to flow more easily
VISUALISATION – to use during pregnancy and labour
IDEAS TO REDUCE PREGNANCY DISCOMFORTS – such as back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome. Referrals to appropriate health professionals are also provided
SIMPLE MEDITATION which can be used during pregnancy and after your baby is born to help you to remain more calm and relaxed when faced with life’s challenges
WAYS TO POSITION YOUR BABY WELL- during the last 6 weeks there are postures and movements which can help your baby move into an optimal birth position which can very positively influence labour outcomes
DISCUSSION on aspects of birth – beliefs, cultural attitudes, making an informed choice,natural induction, how your pelvis works for birth and many other varied topics
SHARING with other women during the circle times and the chance to make new friends.
