Pregnancy Yoga (one to one)

Yoga in pregnancy can be a wonderful support in pregnancy and preparation for birth, and becoming a mother. I can tailor sessions to your needs, combine yoga, birth preparation techniques and discussion to fully prepare you for your birth and meeting your baby.

Yoga postures are tailored to your individual and changing needs through out your pregnancy making it safe at all stages of pregnancy. You don’t need previous experience of yoga and the pace is very gentle.

I offer a focus on the breath and bringing your attention inwards, in order to prepare you for birth and allow you time to connect with your body and baby. You will develop tools to use during birth - whatever your journey might be. There is also an emphasis on postural awareness and meeting any aches and pains with gentle strengthening, softening and stretching techniques. There is a relaxation at the end in which you can fall deeply into rest to restore and rejuvenate yourself.

If you would like a session can include some informal discussion time, offering support around pregnancy, emotions, birthing and parenting. The aim of these antenatal discussions is that by the time your baby arrives you feel well informed about as many aspects of birth as possible and feel supported and empowered. Topics we might discuss for example include your emotional well-being in pregnancy, the physiology of birth, your birth preferences, creating your birthing environment, ways of coping with labour, navigating the medical system, feeding and caring for your baby and your postnatal recovery.

I can direct you to books, online resources and the latest research in order to help you feel informed and empowered to make the choices that are right for you.

As a trained birth-educator and previous years experience as a doula, my knowledge of birth and experience in supporting women is incorporated into the sessions so that I can guide you at your own pace which helps you to tap into your own inner knowledge and intuition and enhances your connection with your baby.
