Postnatal yoga classes

Yoga for new mothers

The postnatal recovery phase is also known as the fourth trimester of pregnancy. This is the initial period of transition into motherhood, bonding with your baby, and the body's gradual recovery from childbirth. Gentle movement and strengthening are important for bringing the body back to balance and stability. The yoga class offers recovery stretches combined with deep breathing, small, slow movements, and gentle, sustained strengthening exercises from yoga. We begin with carefully selected, gentle yoga sequences and always emphasize the importance of postnatal recovery exercises for restoring posture and closing the body after birth in our practice. The prevention of stress incontinence and uterine prolapse cannot be overemphasized. This class can be started between the fourth and sixth week after birth.

and is suitable for mothers with babies up to 9 months old. The babies are always included in the practice,

The course is a joyful experience for both mothers and babies.

With lots of suggestions for your ritual at home.
