It’s imperative for mums to sustain a healthy, balanced lifestyle in order to meet the transitions and challenges of parenthood. Yoga classes are a perfect way to prepare physically, mentally and spiritually for birth and motherhood. From the moment of conception, mothers give unconditionally and will do so for years to come. The practices and techniques of Yoga enhance a mother’s health and quality of life, and support her to be a source of inspiration and strength for her family.

For 10 years I have instructed Prenatal Yoga classes throughout Australia according the system of Yoga in Daily Life, adapted for the pregnant woman. Forty years ago the system of Yoga in Daily Life was scientifically designed by Yoga master Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda, in collaboration with a team of doctors and physiotherapists. It was researched and tested for efficacy and safety whilst maintaining the authenticity of the traditional yoga techniques. In the Prenatal Yoga class I utilize Level One of this eight-level system and incorporate practices to nurture the four pillars of health which is unique to Yoga in Daily Life: physical health, mental health, social health and spiritual health.
