Join us for Prenatal Yoga Classes In London Ontario. Embrace health and serenity in yoga classes for pregnant women. Prioritize your well-being and connect with inner peace.
Pregnancy is a beautiful time of life. You are about to bring a precious soul earthside – so exciting! However, we need to be more reflective as to the struggles too. Aches and pains, moodiness, and lack of sleep – these are real, and very much part of the birth experience.
Yoga postures help alleviate many common physical aches and pains. The stretching, flexing and pointing of the feet, along with the gentle massaging action of the poses (and your breath) – these help to remove muscle tension, elevate mobility in the joints, and increase blood circulation.
The physical benefits of prenatal yoga are just the tip of the iceberg. In addition, you will likely realize increased stability of your mood. In class, you will learn to synchronize your breath to the movements, allowing your breath to become deeper and more rhythmic (almost as a massaging force). Your breath can influence a softening of emotions, quieting them from the main stage of your mind.
I am privileged to partner with my yoga teachers at AT THE CORE, offering you this transformational practice.
We have classes available for women in all stages of pregnancy – from early pregnancy yoga, to late pregnancy yoga.
In our classes, we hold deep reverence for this extraordinary and life-giving period. Our Asana Yoga practice places great emphasis on nurturing strong, flexible hips and a supple spine. Movement seamlessly intertwines with the power of the breath, creating a harmonious union. As we embark on this journey together, we cultivate the art of sustained attention, whether it be focused on the breath, a pose, or an object in the distance. This fusion of movement, breathing, and meditation encompasses all the essential elements for a transformative and empowering birth experience.
Curious about prenatal yoga and how it could help you? We address the common questions surrounding the practice and provide valuable insight to help you make informed decisions.
Seeing as all the participants are pregnant there is a great sense of togetherness. Prenatal classes focus on the specific issues of pregnancy and try to prepare the mind and body for birth.
Prenatal yoga is an incredibly safe and beneficial practice, especially when guided by a knowledgeable teacher who understands the intricacies of the pregnant body. It's important to approach this time with a mindset of nurturing and self-care, rather than pushing or challenging yourself. The hormone Relaxin makes your ligaments and joints more flexible, requiring extra caution. Even if you had a higher level of physical ability before pregnancy, it's essential to prioritize ease and gentleness during this special period. Embracing a practice that honors your body's needs and promotes a sense of optimal well-being is key.
Pregnancy is a great time to start a yoga practice. Let your teacher know that this is your first time. The meditative quality of prenatal yoga is transformative. Additionally, yoga breathing and gentle movements are good practice for labour and delivery.
We offer a comprehensive approach to prenatal yoga, encompassing centering, breathing techniques, mantra meditation, gentle warm-up exercises, and a review of personal concerns.
Classes are hosted by our partner At The Core.
