Prenatal yoga is the most supportive and wonderful way to feel great during pregnancy.
during its sessions. What a Real Mum says:
I attended Helena’s antenatal yoga classes for the second half of my pregnancy which really helped me keep the wheels of my body oiled, especially as I grew larger and heavier. Since I was expecting twins I became big quite quickly, and although most other exercise was uncomfortable, including walking, Helena’s yoga allowed me to continue to have some physical expression and get my heart beating.
The class starts with breathing and gentle movements which relaxes and frees the body, preparing for some slightly more demanding activities. These further exercises were just as important helping to maintain strength in my legs and prepare for the rigours of labour. After gradually building up to this peak, we were warmed gently down and guided into a deep relaxation that completely erased any bodily tensions.
Helena’s yoga is very personal and caring – you don’t have to do any exercise that feels uncomfortable, you can stop, relax, and drink water whenever you wish. There is even a bathroom directly off the yoga room – a very handy place for pregnant ladies!
Thank you, Helena, for providing a nurturing, caring atmosphere in a beautiful home so I could prepare for the birth of my baby, maintain some exercise, and have the opportunity to meet other local mums-to-be.
