The focus of the class is on movements and breathing specifically
tailored for new moms.
Special attention is placed on developing core strength and
stability – involving a particular emphasis on strengthening the
back, abdomen and pelvic floor, as well as relieving tension in
areas such as the neck, shoulders and back.
Previous yoga experience is not necessary to fully benefit from
the classes, and women who have practiced yoga before will find
these classes are a great way to transition back to their
pre-pregnancy practice.
What is a class like ?
The classes are designed specifically to accomodate the effects of your recent pregnancy and
take into account reduced joint stability and core strength.
The class is very informal.
What will postnatal yoga do for me ?
Little Tree Yoga Postnatal classes have many advantages and benefits, including:
increasing overall endurance, strength and well-being
reducing back tension and discomfort and improving posture
building core strength and stability (inc abdominals)
learn yoga movements that you can practice at home
reducing anxiety and stress
adopting coping techniques for when you feel overwhelmed
making new friends with other moms
When can I start ?
It is a good idea to wait for about 4 - 6 weeks after
delivery of your baby before attending class. If you
have had a caesarean delivery this time should be
extended to about 8 - 10 week, or until you recieve
the go - ahead from your doctor. There is absolutely
no problem joining the class after the session has
begun ( space permitting), the movemnts are simple
and easy to catch on.
