Taking time out every week during pregnancy is really important to help prepare your body and mind for birth and motherhood. Joining a Pre-Natal Yoga class gives you the time to bond with your baby. A woman experiences so many physical and emotional changes throughout pregnancy and during labour and Pre-natal Yoga offers some valuable exercises and techniques that can help through this exciting time.

I'm offering some free Pre-Natal Yoga classes as a taster to a Pre-Natal Yoga course that will be running in Essentials Holistic Centre, Malahide. The Pre-Natal Yoga course teaches gentle exercises that helps increase blood volume, oxygen and nutrients to your baby.   Anyone in their second and third stages of pregnancy can enjoy pre-natal classes. Regular practice of asanas taught in Pre-Natal yoga will help you to conserve energy and cope with confidence, stamina and strength to the demands of pregnancy and labour.

In addition to learning beneficial yoga exercises, the Pre-Natal Yoga course offered ,I will focus on Correct Breathing and Relaxation techniques. It will be a blissful hour a week! that works towards ensuring a more comfortable pregnancy and labour for you and your baby.
Feel good and Enjoy your pregnancy !

The importance of Breath....

Thich Nhat Hanh is visiting Ireland in April and here's a few words of wisdom from this great man......



“Our breath is a fragile piece of thread. But once we learn how to use it, it can become a wondrous tool to help us surmount situations which would otherwise seem hopeless. Our breath is the bridge from our body to our mind, the element which reconciles our body and mind and which makes possible one-ness of body and mind. Breath is aligned to both body and mind and it alone is the tool which can bring them together, illuminating both and bringing both peace and calm…

Keep your back straight. This is very important. The neck and head should be aligned with the spinal column; they should be straight but not stiff or wood-like. Keep your eyes focused a yard or two in front of you. If you can, maintain a half smile.
Now begin to follow your breath and to relax your muscles. Concentrate on keeping your spinal column straight and on following your breath. As for everything else, let it go. Let go of everything.”

~from The Miracle Of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh
