CLASSICAL YOGA VS PREGNANCY YOGA
Classical Yoga is the perfect base for teaching pregnancy yoga. However not all poses are suited to pregnant women.By completing this course you will have the sound knowledge and competence to teach pregnant women .I define pregnancy yoga as a practice that exercise the woman’s body in preparation for birth in such a way that it offers what is needed at the particular moment, exercising some tissues to provide much needed strength whilst providing relaxation of certain tissues where that is necessary. In pregnancy yoga, the intention is to provide the watery, rhythmic quality of the movement intelligently combining yogic practices and techniques with other physical styles and ancient traditions.
