For the mother; you will learn
how to safely exercise and relax with your baby postnatally, to recover from pregnancy and birth and cope with the demands
of early parenthood. Gentle postnatal exercises gradually help you regain physical strength, tone the muscles, enjoy deep
relaxation and develop close bonds with your baby. Postnatal yoga can address common complaints such as; weak pelvic floor,
instability of pelvic joints, lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, split abdominal muscles. The classes use yoga breathing
practices to involve deep muscles and restore core-strength or even create it anew. Principles of postnatal recovery (core-realignment,
pelvic joint stabilisation and decompression of the spine), are addressed by means of gentle isotonic stretches using deep
abdominal breathing and some bandhas.For the mother
and her baby; you will learn ‘relaxed holds', ‘swings, dips and lifts', ‘hip sequences',
moves for strength and balance, moves for ‘tummy time' and how to put songs and movements together. The course also
covers movements that facilitate the transitions to sitting, crawling, standing and walking, using yoga principles such as
non violence, quiet observation, detachment, respect and compassion. The teaching of joint relaxation between parent and baby
is given special importance as a way to help parents release tension and to allow babies experience relaxed parents. Postnatal yoga runs based on demand - please contact me for availability.
