“I was blown away by the amount of knowledge Rosie has on pregnancy and the birthing process. I was so glad I took part in the group ahead of delivering my first baby. Rosie is so kind and giving, the space is outstanding and she even played her own music as an extra treat! I would highly recommend!

The 8 Pillars of The Yoga Nook Pregnancy Yoga
1.
Relaxation
A sanctuary for relaxation and stress reduction, offering a much-needed respite from the busyness of daily life. Guided breathing exercises, meditation, and relaxation techniques help calm the nervous system.
2.
Strength + Resilience
Strengthen key muscle groups essential for labor and childbirth, enhancing your overall endurance and resilience. Sessions accommodate your changing needs, ensuring that you continue to build strength and stamina safely and effectively.
3.
Hormones in labour
Learn how to work with your hormones for a more efficient and instinctual birth. Relaxation and meditation techniques will encourage this physiological response.
4.
Breathwork
Reduce fear and the experience of pain. Building a breathwork practice gives you tools to move through labour with more ease by moving into an altered state of consciousness. Other breathing patterns help you birth your baby more safely and with reduced tearing.
5.
Community
Sharing experiences, challenges, and joys with fellow mums-to-be creates a sense of connection and understanding, fostering friendships that can extend beyond the yoga studio. The sense of solidarity with other pregnant women can be incredibly comforting and reassuring.
6.
Pelvic Floor awareness
Enhance your body’s ability to support the weight of your growing baby and prepare for the demands of labor and delivery. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles also promotes faster healing and recovery post-birth, reducing the risk of complications and promoting long-term pelvic health.
7.
Hypnobirthing
The mind isn’t the enemy in labour! In fact, we can use its ability to focus for sustained periods to assist in the progress of labour. Hypnobirthing also prepares your being in the weeks leading up to birth.
8.
Active + upright
birthing positions
Explore the positions most beneficial during the first and second stages of labour. These positions promote a positive and empowering birthing experience, aligning with the principles of active birthing to honour the innate strength and wisdom of the female body.
