YOGA & WELLNESS

Pregnancy Yoga Designed Around Your Stage of Pregnancy

You don't have to use the same practice during the two trimesters, and you don't have to use the same practice for two pregnancies.

Different Trimesters – Gentle Practices

As your pregnancy progresses, our practice and the need for support adapt and become lighter as we get closer to your due date.

Modifications for Comfort and Mobility

All prenatal yoga position classes are modified where necessary and with props/supports for comfort.

Practicing breathing and relaxation skills

Breathing exercises play an integral role in each session and can be beneficial for relaxation and body awareness, which can also lead to relaxation during birth.

Supported Yoga Positions

One of the good yoga poses for pregnancy will include supported yoga – many times performed on yoga cushions or against a wall. These are yoga poses that decrease strain while maintaining activity.

↗

Relaxation and Breathing Practices

Rest and breathing are components of a typical session, and both body and mind are allowed to calm down at the end of the session.

Potential Benefits of Practising Prenatal Yoga

Frequent, non-strenuous exercise in pregnancy can help students move more flexibly, can help them relax and heighten their body awareness, can help them breathe and allow them to have an active lifestyle. All of these are among the most popular benefits of yoga when done by pregnant women, yet every pregnancy is various -- but always in combination with suitable medical care.

Live Teacher Guidance

Your teacher will watch you in real time and modify the session to reflect that, changing the tailoring between you and the class—real-time information just for that day, just for that place.

Individual Modifications & Pacing

The pace is not set at any time. If on any given day a pose is not feeling good, it is adapted or omitted depending on a person's state of being on that day.

OUR APPROACH

ShiHa's Approach to Prenatal Yoga

Each trimester of pregnancy (and each body in pregnancy) requires different things. The greatest task of any teacher in the period of gestation is not what they have to add, but what they have to leave out, says Master Manu Yogacharya. There is no fixed prenatal programme because it depends on what we see in every prenatal session – always in conjunction with your doctor or midwife.
