The goal of the postpartum yoga support classes is to increase physical comfort and instill confidence in women as they become mothers. The classes also provide a much needed supportive environment for women to talk about the physical and emotional changes they are experiencing, reconnect with their bodies and bond with their babies. Each private, in-home class is structured to address the particular needs of the mother and baby as their relationship grows. Basic hatha yoga stretches and deep relaxation exercises are adapted to the needs and limitations of postpartum women and also to include participation and/or interaction with their babies. The yoga postures develop strength, flexibility, balance and concentration to increase comfort during the postpartum months. The relaxation exercises reinforce the techniques learned in childbirth preparation classes as well as teach women to maintain these states while working in appropriately challenging positions. Finally, time is given for the personal support portion of the class. This provides a special environment where women can feel comfortable to honor the difficulties and celebrate the joys of motherhood. The period of sharing offers a sense of normalcy during a time of rapid personal change. To Reserve Space or Check Dates Call 831-419-7552 or Email Shannon@holisticwomenswellness.com
