Prenatal Yoga is a tool for embracing
Pregnancy, Labor, and Postpartum.
It is different from other styles as it focuses on
slow transitions between postures,
restorative options,
and the use of props to support
conditions and concerns that are specific to pregnancy.
These courses weaves the philosophy of
Seven Chakras
(energy centers associated with hormone producing glands)
& The Eight Limbs of Yoga
(Path to Enlightenment)
through:
Kriyas
(breath with movement repetitions),
Mantras
(vocal toning and affirmations),
Mudras
(intention setting hand gestures),
Guided Meditations
(ways to clear the mind),
Breathing Techniques
(calm the body),
and Physical Postures
(stretch, strengthen, cleanse, and balance).
Each of the seven one-hour yoga practice videos is themed around one specific chakra and one (or two) limbs of yoga and includes all of the elements listed above.
