I just had a beautiful prenatal yoga practice today with my good friend, colleague and great teacher Edwina. The lovely energy was also shared with a couple of beautiful preggies as well.
Here is my take on the importance and practice of Prenatal yoga.
Prenatal yoga, a humbling and quiet practice. No matter how advanced you are in your practice, joining a prenatal yoga class never fails to humble you down. Sometimes ego gets in the way of trying so hard to perfect a series of postures you forget the whole essence of why one does yoga. Practicing prenatal yoga is the perfect reminder to that. A reconnection of the mind and body through the breath. This teaches me to surrender, listen and to make space in my practice. Surrendering into the cosmic void; this is all you can do for now. Listening; this is all your body can take for now. And making space; creating room in your practice for your baby.
With this awareness of conscious resignation, you can take this humbling experience and bring it along with you post pregnancy as a gentle keepsake. A reminder of what you need to do when you once again begin the intensity of whatever style of yoga you are practicing.
