Pregnancy

pregnancy yoga

Yoga is a wonderful way to to enjoy your Pregnancy, whilst preparing for Labour. It improves backache, increases stamina and awareness of breath and is deeply relaxing for both Mum and Baby.

The class starts with deep breathing and relaxation to centre you both, followed by warm up techniques and Sun Salutations esp. designed for Pregnancy. Then we practice various postures and movements to help increase fluidity in the spine, relieve tension in the hips, pelvis and lower back, open up the chest and shoulders and strengthen the arms and legs. The exercises and breath work will help prepare you for labour and beyond and increase your confidence in your body’s ability to birth your baby with as much ease as possible. There is a huge emphasis on breathing throughout the class to keep your mind focused and relaxed and to release tension and stress. The breath has an essential role during labour to open up the birth canal, increase dilation and help to combat pain.

The class finishes with pelvic floor exercises which help to prevent episiotomy, relax the pelvic floor muscles and aid an easier labour. Then to finish we focus on deep breathing techniques for Pregnancy and Labour and relaxation for both Mum and Baby.

Other benefits include;
- More energy
- Deeper breathing
- Releases muscular and mental tension and stress
- Relieves heartburn, sciatica and leg cramps
- Lovely time out for both Mum and Baby to slow down and enjoy this precious time together

No previous yoga experience is necessary and you can come after your first trimester; in your second or third, it’s never too late to start. Please bring a yoga mat and blanket with you.

Classes are in Greystones and Wicklow Town, Co Wicklow.

Reflexology / Maternity Reflexology

Reflexology is a relaxing and stimulating therapy that uses the feet as a map or mirror to treat the whole body. By manipulating and applying pressure to certain parts of the feet, the whole body can be 're-tuned' and brought back into a state of balance, thus stimulating the body's own healing process. It works on the whole person and not just on one part or particular symptom.

Mum & Baby Yoga classes

These classes are for women who have given birth recently and are looking for a fun and relaxed yoga class where they can bring their baby along too. The classes help Mums to gently ease them back into shape, get a great stretch and have fun with their baby. It is also very social, where you can listen to other Mums advice and tips, learn some yoga for you and your baby and start to strengthen your pelvic floor and stomach muscles and relieve tension in your back. 

You don’t need to bring anything with you, just wear comfortable clothes. Come after you and your baby’s six week check up and let your Gp know you are attending the classes.
