Pregnancy Yoga in Northwich
Mondays 6.15-7.45pm Lach Dennis
Suitable for all from 12 weeks until baby arrives! No previous yoga experience needed.
In my Pregnancy yoga class you take some time out in your week to focus on yourself and connect with your baby/ies. You will learn how to use gentle, pregnancy specific yoga, breathing techniques, birth skills and relaxation to support your body and mind through pregnancy, labour and birth, and to prepare for motherhood. I share ways to help your pregnancy and birth be positive and empowering, so that you feel confident in navigating your own unique journey.
and…
At the beginning of class I also facilitate a safe and non-judgemental space to chat and share experience, milestones, worries and concerns together. This time gives space for you to connect with each other, share the joys and challenges of pregnancy and build your support community at this magical but often demanding time.
As a member of Pregnancy, Baby and You Cheshire I can also signpost you to other local professionals in many other areas of prenatal (and postnatal) support.
“Would absolutely recommend Sarah’s pregnancy yoga classes, not just for the yoga but also the information. Sarah has given me so much great advice and tips for pregnancy & labour. Also a really nice space to meet other mums to be & hear about everyone’s journey. Thank you! x”
My Pregnancy Yoga Experience
I practised yoga through both of my pregnancies and used the skills and tools I learned to help me through the demands of my labours and births. I know how the power of using the breath and relaxation can help to ease discomfort and how feeling connected to, and confident in, your body gives you an empowered and positive approach to labour and birth.
My births weren’t exactly as I had planned – most births aren’t – but I know how much my pregnancy yoga classes and practice helped me to navigate both of my experiences and the tools enabled me to have the best births possible and inspired me to go on to teach pregnancy yoga to hundreds of women in Northwich.
“Sarah is really knowledgeable and creates a calming and friendly environment. She is happy to offer advice, answer questions and tailor the class to your needs. I feel like me and my bump are in great hands. ”
