- gain confidence in your body and your inner ability to give birth to your baby
- prepare physically for childbirth

Gentle Prenatal Yoga with Hypnobirthing
Our regular Gentle Prenatal Yoga with Hypnobirthing courses, combine the benefits of yoga with that of self-hypnosis (think “deep relaxation” or yoga nidra). The classes will help pregnant women develop a sense of positivity and calm all the way through their pregnancy and, even more importantly during labour, break the fear/pain vicious circle for a more comfortable and positive birth. The transformative effects of hypnobirthing can be truly powerful for some and for most, extremely relaxing and enjoyable!
In practice :
In Practice: We start each class with some extra gentle yoga adapted to pregnancy to free the body of physical tensions, and end with a longer relaxation (lying down) during which you will be guided through a hypnobirthing script. Ideal for the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy.
« Thank you for the great yoga classes that were very useful for coping with contractions, the hypnobirthing that guided me through the last weeks of pregnancy in approaching labour and for all the advice! »
