Pregnancy Yoga

Pregnancy is a wonderful and very special time in a women’s life. It can also be a time of fear and anxiety. Birthlight pregnancy yoga is specially adapted for the mum-to-be’s changing body and hormonal balance.

Pregnancy yoga has a host of physical and mental benefits including:

  • Toning muscles
  • Relieving tension
  • Improving circulation which increases blood and oxygen flow to placenta and baby
  • Postural awareness and alignment adapted through pregnancy, which helps to encourage optimal fetal positioning
  • Opens and stabilizes pelvic joints, to prevent and relieve pelvic pain
  • Breath work that balances hormones, focuses mind and encourages relaxation
  • Greater strength and flexibility during pregnancy helps make labour easier, faster and less painful
  • Stretching and toning of the pelvic floor
  • Reduces stress, anxiety and fears surrounding birth and parenthood
  • Develops bond between mother and baby before birth
  • Builds confidence in birth process and instinctual behavior
  • Balances hormones which can help alleviate and prevent depression.

I am an experienced Birthlight teacher and am pleased to be able to offer 1-2-1 pregnancy and small group classes in Altea. Please contact me for further details.
