What to Expect

Désirée caters the prenatal classes at Rooted Family for any trimester of pregnancy through a gentle, yin yoga practice focused on inner power - to find comfort arising from body changes and to prepare mentally and physically for labour. Following Patanjali's 8 limbs of yoga, all classes will include a strong focus on pranayama (breath awareness) and meditation.

Prenatal yoga can help with labour and delivery in a few different ways: connecting to the breath allows us to connect to the rhythm of the body and learn to work with it instead of against it; finding spiritual, mental and physical comfort during practice releases our "feel-good" hormones called endorphins which also get released in labour; and withdrawal of the senses or pratyahara - for those who practice meditation regularly.
