why yoga for pregnancy and motherhood?
yoga has profound effects on body, mind and baby…
during pregnancy
Pregnancy yoga offers a gentle, supportive way for expectant parents to nurture both BODY and MIND during a time of immense change. Its slow, intentional movements help ease common discomforts such as back pain, hip tightness, and overall tension, while breathing exercises and mindful awareness encourage deeper relaxation and emotional balance. Yoga during pregnancy is not about flexibility; it is about building STRENGTH, getting to know your body and the changes within it during pregnancy.
Studies have shown that a core benefit of Yoga (particularly during pregnancy) is positive, lasting effects on mental health. In particular, the practice of yoga is known to increase levels of Oxytocin; creating a deep BOND and a peaceful environment for both mum and baby to flourish in. The mindfulness that accompanies the practice of yoga helps to build deep self connection, calm anxiety and build resilience during a time of change and potentially uncertainty.
Beyond the physical and mental benefits, pregnancy yoga creates a welcoming space to connect with a community of fellow parents-to-be. Pregnancy Yoga offers the opportunity to nurture new friendships, share experiences and encouragement throughout the journey toward birth and early parenthood.
After pregnancy
Postnatal yoga provides a restorative path for new parents as they recover from birth and adjust to life with a new-born. GENTLE movements and targeted exercises help rebuild core strength, support pelvic floor healing and relieve tension from feeding, carrying and disrupted sleep. MINDFUL breathwork offers moments of calm amid the intensity of early parenthood, fostering emotional grounding and resilience.
Postnatal yoga brings together a community of new parents, offering connection, understanding and mutual support during this transformative stage.
