Prenatal + Postpartum Yoga
I warmly welcome expecting mothers as well as those who have recently given birth to participate in my Yoga classes and supportive circles.
Prenatal Yoga offers expecting mothers an excellent way to maintain physical activity and overall health throughout pregnancy. Additionally, it provides valuable preparation for labor and delivery, supporting both physical and emotional well-being during this transformative time.
One of the key benefits of Prenatal Yoga is its ability to improve posture, which is particularly important as the body undergoes various changes during pregnancy. Additionally, Prenatal Yoga enhances circulation and endurance, effectively preparing the body for the physical demands of labor and delivery.
Breathing techniques and relaxation practices are integral components of Prenatal Yoga. They help to reduce stress and anxiety, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being for both the mother and the baby.
Prenatal Yoga is effective in alleviating physical discomforts commonly experienced during pregnancy, such as back pain, heartburn, constipation, and cramps. Additionally, it offers a supportive community where expecting mothers can connect with others undergoing similar experiences. This sense of community is particularly valuable for first-time mothers who may have questions or concerns about pregnancy and childbirth.
In Postpartum Yoga, the emphasis is on supporting the physical and emotional well-being of new mothers. The practice includes exercises designed to strengthen the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, which may have been weakened during pregnancy and childbirth. Gentle stretches and postural adjustments are also incorporated to alleviate any discomfort or pain that may arise during the postpartum period.
Yoga offers a nurturing way to bond with your baby and connect with fellow mothers in your community. My Postpartum Classes (Mama Baby Classes) are designed to welcome your baby and incorporate gentle exercises that encourage holding, cuddling, and interacting with your little one. It’s a supportive space where you can embrace the early stages of motherhood. I warmly invite you to join these classes, and I look forward to sharing this special journey with you and your baby.
I also warmly invite mothers who have recently experienced an abortion or who are hoping to become pregnant to join these circles of women. This space is open and supportive, embracing every stage of your journey with care and compassion.
In addition to Prenatal and Postpartum Yoga Workshops and supportive circles, I offer somatic coaching, scar release sessions, and private yoga sessions. These services provide additional support and personalized care during pregnancy and after childbirth.
I am delighted to support you during this special time, offering compassionate care with sensitivity, expertise, and attentive presence.

The magic of a women's circle.
Every Women's Circle carries a wonderful power that nourishes and protects everyone in the circle. To ensure that this power is preserved and experienced at every meeting, it is important to respect a common framework. For this purpose, Circle Keepers all over the world have compiled the collected experiences from hundreds of Circles and formulated Circle Agreements based on them.
Before the beginning of each Circle meeting, we remember these agreements and only those who fully agree to them are invited to participate in the Circle.
These agreements help to create a free and deep exchange, a space of mutual respect and compassion.
-
We speak from the heart, honestly and sincerely.
-
We ask for what we need and give what we can give.
-
We take responsibility for ourselves and support each other in doing the same.
-
We listen attentively and with our hearts, in an attitude of empathy and appreciation.
-
We do not comment, judge or give advice.
-
What is said in the circle remains confidential and is never brought out into the open.
Sometimes the wish arises in a circle meeting to add further points to the agreements, which is agreed upon together with the participants.
We will gather.

Yoga Sadhana for women
Yoga can be a wonderful practice for women during pregnancy and after giving birth. A women's body goes through significant changes during this time, which affects their Yoga practice (Yoga Sadhana).
It's important for women to listen to their bodies and make adjustments to their practice as needed. This may mean slowing down, being more mindful and attentive, and focusing on areas of discomfort or healing.
In a Prenatal or Postpartum Yoga Class we usually practice a mix of many Yoga types, including also Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga. These practices focus on breathing techniques, gentle movement and relaxation which can help women manage stress, reduce pain and discomfort and improve sleep.
In terms of practicing yoga with a baby in the womb, there are certain precautions that should be taken. It's important to avoid any positions that put pressure on the abdomen, such as twists or inversions. It is also important to avoid overheating and stay well-hydrated.
Overall, yoga can be a wonderful practice for women during pregnancy and after giving birth, as long as it's approached with caution and awareness of the changes happening in the body. In case you have any doubt, it's always a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before starting a Prenatal or Postpartum practice.
