Pregnancy Yoga

A woman’s body changes deeply and continually during pregnancy. Yoga can help strengthen the connection to her body and improve both her well-being and her baby’s.

• Breathing will move, connect and relax mother and child. Women gain strength and confidence in their birthing body while learning different aspects of their own pregnancy and yoga in each session.
• Exercises (asanas), breathing, chanting and meditation, special movements and deep relaxation will support the changes in your body in a simple way. Yoga supports the energy flow and relaxation.
• Some positions help to minimize and avoid pregnancy issues like water in the legs or sleeplessness. Yoga helps to reduce or even eliminate stress.

Pregnancy Yoga is adapted to the individual needs and wishes of each pregnant woman. Sessions are applicable for women who have practiced yoga previously and also those with no experience. Some women who’ve always done head stands will keep on doing so during pregnancy. For others pregnancy offers a first experience of yoga techniques. Jutta carefully accompanies them all, making sure that pregnancy yoga helps to prepare joyfully for birth.

Our classes strengthen and relax body and soul. During practice many women feel the connection to their unborn child intensify. Conscious breathing and the deeply relaxing effects of yoga are an ideal preparation for an easy birth.

Yoga classes for mums and babies can have a range of positive effects. Yoga after birth helps to support the body at a time when it needs nourishing and still has to nourish the baby as well. Many mothers enjoy sharing this time with other women in the same situation, and beautiful friendships may grow in these classes.
