Prenatal Partner Yoga is the fun practice of exploring many different yoga postures done in physical contact with another person. Students experience a deeper sense of release and stretching through sharing weight and touch with their partners. This style of yoga practice helps you develop a strong feeling of connection with your baby and partner both on and off your mat. No prior yoga experience necessary.
Some of the benefits include:
* An increase in body awareness and ability to breathe through the
moment.
* Helps increase confidence in birth partners and their ability to
support the birthing mom.
* Partner assists allow for deeper release and organization in yoga
poses, allowing for more effective relief from common issues that
arise in the pregnant body such as back pain, sciatica, leg cramps,
leg swelling, acid reflux, exhaustion, stiff muscles, and/or
insomnia.
* Explores touch as a gateway of the focus to move away from the mind (where fear resides) and into embodied presence.
* Releases oxytocin, which assists in shifting out of fight/flight mode and into the parasympathetic mode, thus increasing feelings of safety, relaxation, pleasure, and connection.
* Brings awareness to multiple areas of the body at once, helping
to diffuse mental tension and refresh the nervous system.
* Allows for increased attention, insight, compassion, and gentle
encouragement from the helping partner, which often allows the
person performing the asana to feel safe to go deeper, gain new
understanding on their alignment, or be able to experience subtle
but key actions in the pose.
* Creates a fun, expressive experience of unity and trust between
partners, and creates a nurturing time and space to connect with
your new baby.
Come learn techniques for breath awareness, massage, and partner
poses, which can help strengthen and relax your body and soothe
your mind during the process. This prenatal partner yoga class is
for those pregnant and their partner/husband/friend during
pregnancy. *All participants must be registered
separately.
Practicing yoga poses and breathing can greatly improve your
physical, emotional and spiritual- being. When practiced with a
loving partner you can both grow together creating deeper mutual
care, trust and family bonding. This will help both of you with
your pregnancy, the labor process and parenthood. We will do poses
individually and as couples. This class will be taught at a level
that will be comfortable for all participants.
