Postnatal

Focusing on strength and efficient mobility in the shoulders today together with pelvic stability as we strengthen the stabiliser muscles of the hips. I begin with a brief discussion on the shoulder joint to explain why its important to work both strength and mobility into this region. Remember to listen to your body always. The sensations in the body will tell you when you can go a little deeper into movement or when you need to ease off. New will work a little more dynamically today in and out of some poses so tale rest when you need to, take it slowly and really try to recruit the muscles as instructed to keep you stable and in control of the movements. Enjoy your time on your mat!

We'll begin today with a lovely sacrum release to help relax the spine through the psoas muscle. Then we will continue to strenghten the areas of the body that need to re-establish strength e.g. Rectus abdominus and Tranverse abdominus muscles of the belly and the pelvic floor. Whilst opening those parts of the body that need length and the right amount of openness e.g the shoulders and chest, the adductors and hamstrings. Remember to stretch only to about 70% especially if you are still breast feeding. And please do not work into any pain or discomfort.

Rebuilding core strength and pelvis floor stability in this second Post Natal session. Exploring breath and postural awareness in Mountain pose and finding stability and strength in the Warrior poses.

Ideal for around 3 months after birth. Acknowledging where your body is starting from, exploring the areas of the body that need rebuilding and strengthening e.g abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles. Opening the areas of the body that can become closed and tight.
