Postnatal Yoga

1

PRENATAL YOGA

Yoga is one of the best forms of exercise during pregnancy; a gentle, safe means of keeping the body toned and supple without strain, of keeping aches and pains away and energy flowing, of relaxing mind and body, and preparing for the physical demands of birth – and motherhood itself.

BIRTH PREPARATION

At Purna we understand that preparing for birth is important and we strive to provide couples with the necessary resources and knowledge to have the best birthing experience possible. Our classes are designed to help couples feel informed, empowered and confident on their birthing journey.

POSTNATAL YOGA

After the baby is born we understand the importance of postnatal recovery and offer a safe and supportive environment for mothers to heal, strengthen and bond with their babies. Gentle exercise during this time is essential for the body to regain balance and strength.

“After 10 years of trying out dozens of disappointing yoga classes I had came to the conclusion than this just wasn’t for me, but still gave it a last chance when I got pregnant. Purna yoga prenatal classes has been the best thing that has happend to my body in years, and definitly changed my all attitude towards yoga. The teacher is adorable, concrete and competent, always targeting the hour to our specific needs, and it is not possible not to feel at your best after a class!”

​

The postnatal recovery period is also referred to as the fourth trimester of pregnancy. This is the time for transition into motherhood, bonding with your baby and slowly allowing the body to recover from the delivery. Gentle exercise during this time is essential for the body to regain balance and strength.

The postnatal yoga class offers recovery stretches combined with deep breathing and small, slow movements. The importance of postnatal recovery exercise cannot be emphasized enough. Regaining posture, closing the body after giving birth, preventing stress incontinence and womb prolapse are only some of the benefits of postnatal yoga.

For the first three months after giving birth, the priority of the class is on realignment of the spine, strengthening the pelvic muscles and opening the shoulders. Plenty of rest and relaxation is also a key focus at that time. From month three onwards the progression to more “normal” yoga can begin.

 

All babies up to 9 months are welcome or until they move around
