Yoga has so many health benefits and there is a style of yoga to for everyone. A new trend in yoga focuses on mothers and babies. If you are expecting a baby, trying for a baby or just had a baby, there is a style of yoga for you. Fertility Yoga: is a practice that helps to reduce stress and restore hormonal balance. Stress and hormonal imbalance are two common factors for fertility problems. Restorative yoga and meditation can help to bring the nervous, digestive, pulmonary, immune, skeletal, lymphatic, reproductive and endocrine systems into alignment and promote fertility. Classes are safe for women undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technology and suitable for any women hoping to balance their hormone cycles. Pregnancy Yoga: is one of the best ways to exercise and keep in shape while pregnant. Classic postures are adapted to create a safe and gentle way of keeping toned and strong without harming your baby. Yoga can help you prepare physically and mentally for the stresses of labour. Meditations will help you to be in tune with your baby’s development. Pregnancy yoga classes are generally designed for mothers up to 28 weeks and suitable for all fitness levels. Birth Yoga: is a blend of gentle yoga and childbirth discussion. It is a way to connect with the changes in your body and the development of your baby. Classes are generally for women in their second trimester. Birth Yoga helps to guide mothers, and their partners, towards an understanding of their baby and a positive outlook towards birth. Classes use gentle classic postures, breathing exercises and meditations to improve health. Birth yoga can also help relive common pregnancy pains such as back ache, leg cramps, tension headaches and stomach cramps. Some classes tell birthing stories and have past students return to discuss their birthing experience. Calm Birth Yoga: combines yoga and the practice of removing fear from the birth process. Anxiety and stress often surround labour and birth. Calm birth classes try to remove this by empowering couples with practices and knowledge to connect with their baby and understand its development. Classes often involve breathing exercises, meditations and focusing on relaxation over anxiety. Classes are suitable for all fitness levels and stages of pregnancy. It is thought calm birth yoga techniques can diminish the need for painkillers, decrease labour time, reduce fatigue and encourage bonding between couples and babies. Mother and baby Yoga: focuses on the bond between mother and baby but also helps mothers to connect with other mothers. It helps mothers to regain their core strength, releasing muscle stiffness and tension, improving posture, strengthening the pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles and restoring energy. There are benefits for babies too. It is thought yoga can improve sleeping patterns and digestion and help babies move from simple reflexive movement to voluntary movements and assist with brain and nervous system development.
