Putting it out there ✨️👣

Beginning this Friday, online pregnancy relaxation session. Perfect from 20 weeks onwards. We will look at breathing exercise ideal for first stage of labour, enjoy a pregnancy relaxation and end with a beautiful birth video and opportunity to talk whatever birth topic comes to mind.

Finding time for some calm is so beneficial in pregnancy and an ideal way to start boosting that oxytocin in preparation for birth.

I also teach 1:1 full antenatal preparation course using hypnobirthing techniques to empower you for the journey ahead and this can be a perfect introduction to that.

DM if you have any questions 😊 and please pass on to anyone you think would be interested.

Dates are on the booking system and will look to add more in the new year 💗

Day 30 of our summer yoga challenge ☀️ (everyones favourite)

🧘‍♀️ Legs up the wall 🧘‍♀️

Sit on the floor side on to a wall with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Use your hands on the floor to support you as you lean back and gently swing your legs up the wall so heels are resting against it as you come to lie flat on your back. Adjust your position so back and hips are comfortable.

Arms can be positioned by your side or bring the hands to rest in the body.

Options : perform away from the wall with block underneath the hips or lie on floor using couch or bed to support bent legs.

Hold for 5 breaths or whatever is comfortable. (Or longer if it feels good)

Affirm - mentally repeat to yourself or say out loud : " All is well "

Benefits of this pose :

✨️ improves circulation and lymphatic drainage

Day 26 of our summer yoga challenge ☀️

🧘‍♀️ Happy Baby🧘‍♀️

Start lying on your back and bend the knees in towards the chest. Take hold of the outer edges of the feet. Move your knees apart so they are wider than your torso, and pull on your feet to draw the knees towards the armpits or to the floor. Flex your feet so the soles are facing the ceiling and keep the lower back flat against the floor.

Relax the pelvic floor and rock from side to side if that feels good.

Option : bring the hands to ankle, calves or back of the thighs instead of the feet or use a strap around the feet.

Hold for 5 breaths or more or whatever is comfortable.

Affirm - mentally repeat to yourself or say out loud : " I allow myself to be silly and spontaneous "

Benefits of this pose :

✨️ stretches the hips and groin
✨️ lengthens the spine
✨️ promotes relaxation
✨️ stimulates digestion

Avoid this pose :

❌️ recent injuries or surgeries to shoulder, hips, knee, spine, neck or abdomen
❌️ exit if any pain or discomfort is felt
