Chicago Prenatal/ Postnatal Yoga Classes
and Private Lessons
 The
physical benefits of prenatal yoga are numerous. It helps women
glide gracefully through the evolutionary process of pregnancy,
ultimately preparing for birth. Participating in a group
prenatal class provides a community of support from people who
understand what you are experiencing.
Benefits of
Prenatal Yoga Include:
-
Increases overall strength, flexibility and
well-being.
-
Stimulates your organ systems, promoting the
circulation of blood and oxygen.
-
Focuses your attention inward through imagery
and meditation promoting a heightened state of physical and
emotional well-being.
-
Reduces low back pain and sciatica--teaching
proper body alignment.
-
Reduces swelling and inflammation around your
joints, and aids in digestion. The combination of the physical
or "asana" portion of yoga with the emotional and spiritual
component, reduces anxiety and helps women experience the
miracle and empowerment of pregnancy.
