Partner Yoga for pregnancy
Supporting Mother, Welcoming Child
Unity Partner Yoga is particularly beneficial for the Pregnant woman to practice with a supportive partner (Either her Partner, Friend, Doula, or family member). All of the same benefits apply as mentioned within the general practice of Partner Yoga, however the practice offers a unique method of deeply connecting with the unborn child, during such a significant and intense time.
The Mother-to-be can be supported in a unique and nurturing way, which acknowledges and honors her miraculous capacity to produce and give birth to, a new Human Being. Postures in Pregnancy Partner-Yoga focus on opening the hips, strengthening the legs, releasing strain and tension and relaxing the mind and body. This can optimise the enjoyment of pregnancy, and aids the preparation for labour. The birthing-partner is shown how to best support the birthing woman, using their own body, and a maternity ball which is often helpful in childbirth.
Great care must be taken not to put undue pressure on the pubis by overstretching. Please consult the DVD for information regarding safe practice.
Unity Partner Yoga for Pregnancy DVD
Directed & Produced by Sevanti
This DVD is an ideal way for the Mother-to-be to feel supported and honoured at this very special time. The Yoga Partner may be a friend, doula, family member or partner, and both practitioners are carefully considered, with variations offered where necessary. Therefore, all levels of experience, ability and stage of pregnancy are considered.
Practical guidelines and advice are given to ensure a safe and effective practice.
The DVD guides through gentle forward and backward bends, spinal twists, lateral bends and balances to alleviate aches and pains and to prepare the body for labour. Partner work is also shown with the aid of a birthing ball, and much of this work is helpful during the actual labour process too.
Gentle massage and relaxation techniques are shared, with a ‘Yoga Nidra’ guided journey to connect in deep meditation with oneself, and with the growng baby within.
