PREGNANCY YOGA
A beautiful therapeutic 1 to 1 session to connect with baby & yourself, to recharge, develop a deep sense of empowerment and prepare for a mindful birth.
What to expect?
The sessions are tailored to suit your personal abilities and needs during any stage of your pregnancy, and focus on movement as well as relaxation. You will explore restorative as well as strengthening practices that will help ease any discomforts, tightness or tension in joints and muscles during pregnancy.
​
You will learn some essential and very useful breathing techniques that are particularly helpful during your pregnancy and labour. Towards the end of your session you can then enjoy a well deserved and wonderfully relaxing guided deep relaxation (yoga nidra).
​
Hands on adjustments to postures are offered throughout, allowing you to bring your body into best possible alignment available to you and work with the level you are at.
​
Yvi's yoga classes emphasise a mindful and integrated understanding of your being where you will naturally be able to begin to observe, let go and move into a space of deep calm and inner silence. The 1 to 1 format allows for a versatile, bespoke and very personal experience.
