Join me on your pregnancy journey to allow the mind and body to deeply relax, rest and let go. You will learn to use your breath to prepare the mind and body for labour and to relieve tension and stiffness or stress during pregnancy. Prepare the body for labour and birth by strengthening the legs and pelvic floor muscles and using a wide range of yoga poses to help mobilise the pregnant body. We will use a range of these breathing techniques, visualisations, meditations, mantras and affirmations for both pregnancy and labour.
Restorative Yoga is a form of yoga that winds down the nervous system and trains the body and mind how to come out of survival mode (fight, fright or freeze) that we basically live daily in today's world.
If you find it hard to switch off, slow down, rest and recover then this class is for you. If you find yourself stressed out over small things or reoccurring things this could be for you and if you find yourself becoming trapped in the future or past it can help bring us back into the present.
The benifits are endless really and I think we all need this type of relaxation in our lives.
This class is suitable for a wide range of people from athletes to older persons. This NSDR (non sleep deep rest) Can be just as beneficial as sleep as we drop deeply down and out without actually falling asleep!
We use a range of equipment to make the body as comfortable as possible with blankets, bolsters, blocks and eye masks.
A combination of movements, exercises, dynamic and static stretches to loosen up stiffness in the body, to help create stability and strength in the core and openness and freedom in the hips and back.
