Becoming Mother
Yoga & Mindfulness for Pregnancy & Birth
Becoming Mother's 5 lesson Pregnancy Yoga course will take you on a journey of Yoga and Mindfulness specially adapted for your pregnancy. Featuring 5 x 45 minute dynamic pregnancy yoga classes and 5 stand-alone mindfulness meditations this programme is designed to accompany you through your pregnancy journey from 14 weeks to the birth of your baby.
Each lesson is designed with enough instruction and guidance for an absolute beginner and enough movement, birth education and richness for the more experienced practitioner to enjoy and benefit from. The 5 classes are designed to grow with your pregnancy - the more dynamic lessons being classes 1-3 whilst the later classes feature more birthing movements, pelvic awareness exercises and birthing positions within the pregnancy yoga flow.
These classes were created by Nadia during her last pregnancy. They are safe, accessible and effective for all stages of pregnancy - guidance and modifications are offered during the classes for those suffering from PGP, High/Low Blood Pressure and other common pregnancy complaints.
