Erlinda Yoga Centre

My studio is permanently closed. My deepest gratitude to  all  students and collegues who supported my offerings for the last 14 years.  

Erlinda Yoga for a happy and comfortable pregnancy and birth is designed to meet the needs of all women from 13 weeks pregnant until birth.

• Prenatal Yoga is a specialized area of yoga and one of the safest forms of exercise for pregnant women.
• Yoga is a holistic approach to exercise that includes physical stretching and strengthening, mental centering and breath awareness. This makes the practice of yoga during pregnancy ideal to prepare for labour and childbirth.
• We recommend that you attend these classes on an ongoing weekly basis throughout your pregnancy and from whenever is your start date. This will give you the opportunity to deepen your practice of the techniques you will learn. Posses are modified, as you need as your pregnancy progresses.
• Classes will prepare you mentally, emotionally and physically for the challenges of giving birth.
• If you have not attended a yoga class before, prenatal yoga sessions at Erlinda Yoga will introduce you to this practice gently and progressively, honoring your needs as a pregnant woman at all times.

2. Preparing for Labour and Birth with Yoga
   
   Preparing for labor and birth, 4.0 hour single session for pregnant women from 13 weeks pregnant until birth.
   
   Pregnancy is an inspiring and unique time of growth and of connection with yourself, your body, your baby and life itself.
   
   If you have a busy schedule and cannot attend a weekly class, you still can enjoy the benefits of yoga. During this intimate, personalised workshop you will learn simple and effective yoga techniques that will support you and your baby during pregnancy and prepare your body, mind and spirit for labour and birth.
   
   The workshop covers 5 pillars that can make your labour and birth a more relaxed fulfilling experience:
   
   1. Understanding the stages of labour and birth from the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual spaces. Understanding how by integrating these spaces you can give birth with trust and confidence.
      
      
   2. Breathing to ease labour and birth.
      
      
   3. Yoga poses
      The following will be explored:
      
      • Yoga poses that encourage the baby's optimal position for birth.
      • Yoga poses that are helpful in managing labour.
      • Birthing positions.
   4. Relaxing the body and mind, how to cultivate relaxation for you and your baby during pregnancy and birth to possible prevent "baby distress".
      
      
   5. Meditation and mental imagery to dispel fear and cultivate a positive image of birth.
   
   By attending to the workshop, if you wish to have continued support, you can have access to my personal support and mentoring during your pregnancy on a regular basis through scheduled phone calls, or video calls. Fees apply.

   Yoga Tools for Active Birth
   
   A private, 2 hour single session for pregnant women and their birth partner. My Prenatal Yoga 6 week Program and the Preparing for Labour and Birth with Yoga workshops are both complemented by the Yoga Tools for Active Birth session. The session is recommended for women in their 3rd trimester and their birth partners.
   
   Every new mum looks forward to the joy and delight of meeting her child for the very first time. However, what can happen in labour and birth is unpredictable and can sometimes be more challenging than expected.
   The presence and support of your birth partner will make an enormous contribution to your birthing experience to be one where you leave the birthing place feeling loved, strong, able, fulfilled and contented. It does not matter who your birth partner is, as long as it is someone close to you who wants to be there to assist and encourage you in a relaxed and well prepared approach.
   
   During this practical hands-on brief course, birth partners will learn simple and effective tools and techniques that will allow them to effectively be there for you from pre-labour until back home with the baby.
