Pregnancy yoga is a wonderful opportunity for you to take time out.  From 15 weeks right through to term you can enjoy an hour of yoga which is modified for you and your baby. Practising physical postures will help to feel balanced, strong and relaxed whilst the breathing and mudras will enable you to cope with the challenges of pregnancy and connect you to your deeper, more intuitive self.  You don't need to have any yoga experience to benefit from these classes.

 

As well as meeting other mums to be in a friendly, non-judgemental environment (with a cup of tea) - we usually spend some time coming into the present moment using breath awareness and mindful meditation.  Once you are feeing calm, confident and relaxed we move towards a more physical practise which will be modified as you need it to be depending on your stage of pregnancy and how you feel on the day.

 

Classical yoga postures and flows such as cat (marjariasana), warriors (vibradrasana), tree (vrksasana), etc  are all modified so that you can practise yoga safely which will help you maintain your levels of flexibility, strength and vitality. We will practise mudra, mantra and breathing (pranayama) techniques that will become second-nature to you (wonderful 'tools' for helping you to remain calm, steady and focussed) and then we will finish with a lovely yoga nidra (deep relaxation).

 

The class is held on Wednesday lunchtimes at 1pm from 21st September 2022 in the community sports hall at Altrincham Football Ground, Moss Lane, Altrincham WA15 8AP.  It costs £6 and you can book your place online weekly...places are limited - www.altrinchamfccommunity.co.uk.
