Cheryl has been teaching Pre Natal Yoga for six years, she teaches a number of weekly pre natal classes for Busy Lizzy, Alcheme and KT9 The Barn.
As a mother of two, she feels honoured to guide mums-to-be into this special time of their lives. Being a mother is a huge part of her identity, it's shaped who she is today. Her children really are her greatest teacher, they have mirrored all the work she needs to do. They have taught her so much, and it's an honour to be their mum.
Huge congratulations on your pregnancy!
Practicing yoga during your pregnancy; whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned yogini, pre-natal yoga is the perfect practice for your pregnant body. Whether your pregnancy is filled with bliss or some discomfort, the practice will help soften and relax your body, helping you alleviate any pregnancy symptoms. You can start a yoga practice when you have reached 12 weeks of pregnancy and you can continue up to the birth of your baby.
Pre-natal yoga may help you have a more, relaxed and calm birth. You'll build confidence and develop a mindset to help you birth with less fear in the knowledge that your body knows how to birth your baby in exactly the same way that it innately knows how to grow your baby.
What can you expect from a Pre-natal, practice?
In class you will learn breathing techniques, visualisations to help with labour, positive affirmations and yoga stretches to aid pregnancy as well as positions for birthing your baby. Classes will finish with a deep relaxation for nourishment of you and baby, leaving you feeling relaxed and empowered.
