MOM/BABY YOGA
With Justine Lanore -
Hatha, Vinyasa, Pre- & Postnatal yoga
NB: this course will be led in english.
This course is designed to nurture your mind and body as a new mother. It’s about getting out of your head and into your body, to connect to your breath and share your experience with other new mums while being with your baby in a safe and casual setting.
Who can participate?
Perhaps you are already familiar with yoga, or maybe you are a complete beginner. You are welcome no matter your experience - as this course is adapted to you, the postpartum body & all the changes you will go through - even if you knew yoga before, you might find that the postpartum period changes things around.
You are welcome 6 weeks after birth & until your baby is app. 9 months old.
We will use movement, breath and relaxation to allow you to reconnect with your body after pregnancy and birth. These yoga classes are not your intense strengthening classes as such, looking to get you back into your pre-pregnancy jeans in 3 weeks. We will safely strengthen your body and gently work the muscles of your core, your lower back and the pelvic floor. However there is so much more. The classes are designed for mums to come along with their babies, so we try to include the little ones into the practice wherever we can. We use the yoga postures in ways that keep the babies entertained, and we may be holding the babies as part of the yoga itself. Although it doesn’t matter if your baby happens to sleep throughout the entire class, or if you need a break to breastfeed - our spacious studio & cozy lounge got you covered.
The classes are mainly focused around you, therefore you are free to choose whether you bring your child or come alone. If your baby is awake, we will invite her or him to join the practice as well, whenever possible as a fun activity for the both of you. However it doesn’t matter if your baby is awake or asleep during the class, or if you need a break to breastfeed - our spacious studio & cozy lounge got you covered.
Once you have given birth it can be easy to lose the connection with yourself as well as the outside world. Becoming a mother is one of the biggest transformations in your life, the hormones and emotions are running wild, many women can feel disheartened and confused about the physical, mental and emotional effects that childbirth can have on you.
We welcome you in any way you are, maybe you are still in your PJs by the time you manage to get out of the house - and that’s okay. We’ll be here waiting for you with biscuits and tea available!
