If you are pregnant and in search of ways to relax or stay fit, you might be considering prenatal yoga.

Prenatal yoga therapy is a complete practice with a number of benefits for the physical and mental health of both the mother and the baby. Recent scientific researches have shown that practicing prenatal yoga reduces the level of cortisol (stress hormone) and boosts immunity in expectant mothers. It not only helps to reduce pelvic and back pain during this period but also helps prepare for childbirth and improves the health of the baby.

Similar to other types of childbirth preparation classes, prenatal yoga is a multifaceted approach to exercise that promotes stretching, mental centering, and focused breathing. It can:

• give lightness and mobility
• Improve quality of sleep
• regulate blood pressure
• help to feel inner peace and harmony
• ensure a positive mood and reduce the fatigue

As pregnancy is a personal and sacred process, each yoga session is individualized. It takes into account the stage of pregnancy, your current psychological and physical condition, as well as possible physical difficulties (pain, history, etc.). Essentially, during the lessons offered, the woman recognizes and gets used to the physiological changes in her body.

Classes are possible at your home or online. Each session lasts 60 minutes. It combines adapted postures (with support if needed), breathing exercises and meditation.

Price is 45 € for an individual session by appointment (200 € for a package of 5 sessions).
