The time of pregnancy and the preparation for birth are a very special phase of life for many women. The shifts and changes – whether in your personal environment or in all other areas of life – are all-encompassing. Your own body visibly moves into the centre, and the changes are enormous not only on a physical level but especially on an emotional one.
A good time to care lovingly for yourself
Now is a good time to care well and lovingly for your own body. Your strength flows into the depth of the feminine, into "being a woman" and into the woman's inherent creative power.
Giving birth is creative power made manifest!
What yoga has to offer from its age-old tradition
To discover this and to experience good preparation for birth, yoga has much to offer from its age-old tradition:
- The deep, yogic belly breathing helps to supply your body and the baby well with oxygen and life energy.
- Relaxation, so important for this time and for the birth, is essential.
- Many asanas are birthing positions and can already be practised.
- The mental preparation for a positive and self-determined course of birth is a supporting pillar of yogic birth preparation.
Last but not least, sung mantra help to open the heart and cleanse all energy channels. Why not simply give it a try!
