The goal of the prenatal yoga support classes is to increase physical comfort and instill confidence in women or couples preparing for birth. The classes also provide a much needed supportive environment for women or couples to talk about the physical and emotional changes they are experiencing. Each private, in-home class is structured to the particular needs of the mother or couple as thier pregnancy evolves.
Basic hatha yoga stretches and deep relaxation exercises are adapted to the needs and limitations of pregnant women. The yoga postures develop strength, flexibility, balance and concentration to increase comfort during pregnancy and prepare the body for labor. Couples postures promote connection. The relaxation exercises reinforce the techniques learned in childbirth preparation classes as well as teaching women to maintain these states while working in appropriately challenging positions. This may give them some insight into how the relaxation focus can actually lessen their perception of discomfort.
Finally, time is given for the personal support portion of the class. This provides a special environment where women or couples can feel comfortable to honor the difficulties and celebrate the joys of pregnancy, birth and impending motherhood. The period of sharing offers a sense of normalcy during a time of rapid personal change.
