Whole Birth™ Prenatal Yoga Classes
Developed By Robin Sale www.wholebirth.com
Because
we can not think our way through labor, prenatal yoga is a perfect way
to drop beneath the thinking mind and into the body/mind to prepare for birth.
Whole Birth Yoga teaches us to listen deeply to and trust in our body's innate
birthing wisdom. Yoga poses are taught with an emphasis on mindfulness for increasing
breath and body awareness, learning pain management, prenatal bonding, deep relaxation
and working with one's edges.
Many of the common discomforts experienced
during pregnancy are relieved through the practice of Whole Birth Yoga. Low back
and sciatic pain, insomnia, and swelling have responded well to regular practice.
In the Whole Birth Yoga class, ample time is given for support and the sharing
of what's joyful and what's difficult about being pregnant. Discussion's are rich,
genuine and informative.
Yoga is the one type of exercise that the America College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends as safe and effective for pregnant mothers.
"I really used what I learned in the class during labor, it helped me so much!"
~Ariel, computer engineer
"I
looked forward to every class. The poses, the meditation, the sharing; it was
all great! This has been a great experience for me. I would recommend this class
to everyone!"
~Theresa, mother of two & Nurse
