Relax, Stretch & Breathe for Pregnancy Class
Sunday's during term time 7 - 8.30pm Venue: Acorn Childrens Centre, Beridge Road, Halstead, CO91JH
NCT Relax, Stretch and Breathe (yoga based exercise) classes are held as a weekly drop-in. You can start coming to RSB any time after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
The classes focus on gentle postures, breathing techniques, positions for labour and relaxation. The aim is for you to have an enjoyable and relaxing time, whilst improving your physical and emotional wellbeing and helping you feel more confident and positive about birth. The postures are very gentle, specifically designed so you can attend throughout your pregnancy (after 12 weeks) and can be adapted to individual needs.
The classes are suitable for all women, regardless of their fitness level. No previous experience of yoga is necessary.
Benefits of these classes include:
•Reduced back ache
•Improved quality of sleep
•Reduced anxiety
•Strengthened joints and muscles
•Increased flexibility
•Increased blood circulation
•Reduced swelling from fluid retention
•Improved posture and body awareness
•Strengthened abdominal and pelvic muscles
•Improved digestive system
For those who are already mothers, the class will be a time when you can relax, concentrate on the new baby, and think about your wishes for this birth.
For 1st time mothers, there will be lots of practical tips, opportunity to meet others and ask questions. Some words may be unfamiliar, please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything you are unsure of, no matter how small it might seem.
Everyone is welcome; you don't have to be a member of the NCT. We would like to make sure every parent can benefit from our courses. We therefore have lower prices for parents on lower incomes or in receipt of certain benefits. These concessions vary, please ask about these discounts.
Venue is at the entrance to Holy Trinity School, please avoid parking in the School grounds as these are locked without warning. Refreshment's are provided towards the end of the session but you may like to bring a drink. Please bring an exercise mat, pillows & blanket for your comfort. Comfortable, unrestrictive clothing such as a t-shirt & exercise trousers or leggings are ideal.
