with Stacey Hugues

Click here to register

Pre- and Post-natal yoga practice can help you to discover the mind-body benefits of yoga as they apply to all stages of pregnancy and the postnatal period. The physical practice will combine safe poses for better posture, stability and pelvic floor strengthening with longer held stretches designed to improve flexibility and ease common musculoskeletal issues associated with pregnancy, recovery after birth, and caring for a child. Gentle breath-work and guided imagery will be used as part of a meditative component to help you relax, connect with your baby, and prepare mentally for childbirth and your new life with your child.
