Should I exercise while Pregnant?
Yoga is widely recommended by the healthcare practitioners to pregnant women in their pregnancy as a way to keep fit and flexible.
Whether you have practiced Yoga before or not, Pregnancy Yoga is available to you as soon as your pregnancy is well established. Hence we offer a 75 minutes Yoga session to expecting new mums in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters only (from week 14).
This form of Yoga focuses on the breath for general well-being, body awareness, connection, visualisation and relaxation with the view to prepare and open the body for labour.
The techniques employed are recognised by the Yoga Alliance and developed by Vicky Oliver from WhYoga:
The emphasis on breathing makes space for the internal organs, instils mindfulness, draws a higher level of oxygen into the womb and more overtly fosters the mother and baby bond; for you share one breath.
A mother who connects with her breath in pregnancy will be able to draw upon its support during the mystery and wonder of labour and childbirth.
This class is available as part of a course which will provide the expecting new mum with a wide range of targeted exercises, breathing techniques and guided relaxation.
