SUE WOOD
Yoga has been a part of my life since my late twenties and a decade later I found the opportunity to undertake yoga teacher training with an amazing teacher called Sabina Stahl in 2012. I loved her flowing style with attention to alignment and adjustments. I felt a whole new world of opportunity had opened up. after undertaking pregnancy yoga with British School of Yoga a year later I found myself not only running my first pregnancy yoga class but falling pregnant myself ! I feel yoga has had a profound effect on my approach to health and I am passionate about providing a safe and calm space during pregnancy which can be both an incredible and vulnerable time. I certainly credit my yoga training to supporting a healthy pregnancy and calm birth which did not go to plan but I feel my training allowed me to keep my grounded energy flowing in a hectic maternity ward. I look forward to supporting you during your pregnancy and sharing skills I have learnt to help you cope and thrive.
Yoga for pregnancy, birth and beyond promotes mental and physical wellbeing, calm, strength and inner balance. Every woman’s unique journey from conception, pregnancy, giving birth, and becoming a mum involves great physical and emotional changes. Knowing how to use and adapt yoga techniques, to breathe, move and relax during pregnancy, will honour and empower you through labour and birth, whether it is natural or caesarean section, and provide a spectrum of support tools throughout your life as a mother.
My yoga sessions build and focus on strengthening and supporting your pregnant body, your positions for labour and birth and yoga breathing techniques to promote control and relaxation. You can expect safe uplifting movement practices and meditations to connect you to your baby and each session finishes with deep relaxation.
Pregnancy and yoga for birth classed can be attended from 14 weeks of pregnancy and you are welcome to attend post natal yoga with your baby after your have been signed off by your GP, usually around 6 weeks.
