Postnatale Yoga met Babies (6 weekse cursus)

Kom samen met je pasgeborene naar deze yogales voor moeders en baby's! Bouw langzaam de kracht in je eigen lichaam weer op na de bevalling. We focussen op de buik, openen de schouders door simpele maar effectieve yogahoudingen, doen ademhalingsoefeningen en chanting en eindigen met een ontspanning. De lessen geven je een goede basis om van binnenuit je spieren sterker te maken, als je wilt ter voorbereiding op de gewone yogalessen. Je baby kan jouw prachtige bewegingen bewonderen, lekker naast je slapen of zichzelf even vermaken-:)) Voel je vrij je kind te voeden, te verschonen of te troosten tijdens de les. Vanaf 6 weken (keizersnede 10 weken) tot kruipen.

Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal Yoga

Pregnancy is a special time in a woman's life - it is a time for nurturing, slowing down and learning to meditate, while being in the company of other mothers-to-be. Join our Prenatal Yoga Classes to stay safely physically active during pregnancy; to learn meditation and breathing techniques which will help you during pregnancy, labor, and beyond; and take time to turn your attention inward and nurture this special time with your baby.

Yoga during pregnancy can help:

  • bring awareness to your changing body
  • improve oxygen flow to your organs and your babies
  • increase stamina and strength
  • prepare yourself physically and mentally for giving birth
  • concentrate - ease fears and tension
  • relax and cultivate a general feeling of wellbeing

At Yoga Moves you can expect to MOVE. We will offer you ways to stay in the flow of your body, so be prepared to work a little, breath a lot, and relax deeply. A wonderful experience both for the experienced yogini and for those women who are new to yoga. No previous experience practicing yoga is required. 

Please read this message about taking our "normal" and dynamic yoga classes while pregnant.
 

Fees:

All prenatal courses are 8-weeks long and cost €95 (€85 for student and u-pas members). You can join this course up to 30 weeks pregnant. We also have birth prep courses which are 6 weeks long and cost €75/€65. You can join these courses from 30 weeks onwards untill giving birth.

Women's Radiant Health Programme

About the Yoga Moves Women's Radiant Health Programme
These special women's yoga classes aim at women's needs related to reproductive health, pelvic health, before conception, between pregnancies or whenever you are drawn to deeply nurture yourself in a more attentive way. Yoga can help to bring more balance in body, mind and emotions through its known effects on the neuro-endocrine system. This is the key to a happier and healthier you!

Well Woman Yoga essentially relaxes us and allows us to open our hearts, allowing energy to flow and communication to develop from this flow. Qualities of effortlessness in relaxed stretches and breathing practices make WellWoman Yoga an excellent introduction to general Yoga for mature beginners once therapeutic goals have been achieved.

At Yoga Moves we offer three areas of Women's Health classes
• courses for women who have a wish to conceive. Whether just commenced or receiving medical infertility treatment.
