Personalized One-on-One Prenatal Yoga Sessions

Prenatal Yoga – Personalized for any level

Your session will be customized for your life, your body, on that day, designed to focus on your goals, whether it is relaxation, fitness, alleviate aches and pains, connecting with your baby, preparation for birth, or other life events. Experience the extensive benefits of practicing yoga while pregnant. Although benefits are realized in just 1 session, a minimum of 3 classes is recommended to achieve maximum results.

The Pregnant Practice – Modifying for a seasoned practitioner

Appropriate for the more seasoned practitioner; ideal if you wish to continue attending your favorite (non-Prenatal) group classes. Our time will be focused on giving you the tools and information on how to best modify for pregnancy in your given trimester so that you can feel comfortable and empowered to modify poses on your own.  I will follow up with worksheets that provide you with illustrations, cues and sequences so you have the option of practicing at home.  Although benefits are realized in just 1 session, a minimum of 3 classes is recommended to achieve maximum results.

Benefits of Prenatal Yoga

Practicing yoga during your pregnancy has so many wonderful benefits: from toning the deep muscles used in birthing your baby, to providing much deserved relaxation.  Whether you have been practicing yoga for years or are just discovering yoga now, you will find it brings you more deeply connected with your body as it takes on this awesome feat.  You will find that yoga is not just a physical practice, but also spiritual one that aims to yoke both together.

Here are some of the wonderful benefits for practicing yoga during your pregnancy:

• Helps reduce common pregnancy aches and pains (ie: backaches, constipation, bloating, and swelling.)
• Increases your energy and heightens your mood.
• Improves your posture and balance.
• Prepares you for childbirth by strengthening and toning the muscles and building endurance.
• Helps you sleep more soundly and improves your circulation.
• Keeps you limber without putting stress on your joints.
• Prepares your muscles without causing undue physical stress for you or the baby.
• Keep you limber and flexible with little if any impact on your joints.
• Makes it much easier to get back in shape after your baby's born.
• Deep breath work will help you relax during pregnancy and will also help you face the physical demands of labor and motherhood.
• Belonging to a community of other likeminded women and having a supportive environment where you can share and find resources.
• Connecting with other women can be comforting and keep you motivated to continue exercising
• Tones the muscles of the pelvic floor.  These muscles reach from the lower back to the abdominal muscles and are the support for the uterus, rectum, bladder, and other organs.  It is important to prepare these muscles to assist in the birthing process.  Deep breathing exercises are useful in this process and will help you learn how to locate and isolate the different muscle groups and use them appropriately during birth.   Using the breath can increase the efficiency of the uterine contractions while keeping the rest of the body in a relaxed state.  Reduces fear and tension.
