Feel Good Yoga for New Mums
Feel Good Yoga is a wonderful way of looking after yourself after the birth of your baby. The postnatal period is a very special time for mothers and babies. Feel Good Yoga for new mums is a programme, specially designed to provide a warmly supportive environment in which to enjoy getting to know your baby, aid postnatal recovery and learning to relax in each others presence over the postnatal year and beyond
It aims to focus on postures specifically designed for the post-natal months, helping your body regain strength and tone in a safe and effective way.
The emphasis is on strengthening the pelvic floor, the abdomen, legs and back as well as on opening and relaxing tensions in the shoulders, neck and arms.
Yoga relaxes the nervous system and brings balance to the endocrine system.
It helps to create a balance between your body's physical needs and your emotional state.
Depending on your birth, we suggest you can begin classes 6 weeks after an unassisted natural birth and 8 – 12 weeks for a caesarean delivery. It is very important that you attend when you feel physically capable.
