POST-PARTUM AND motherhood
Everyone wants to cuddle and hold the baby…. But who cuddle and holds the mother? She had to be born too. And this process takes longer than actual labor. It’s a journey that very little talk about.
Yoga & meditation can help in this path. Strengthen, stretch, breathe and relax. Benefit from asanas (postures) specifically tailored to your needs as a new mother. Special attention will be given to strengthening your core and releasing tension in your neck, shoulders, hips and back.
I will help you understand that even with very little time, you can live your yoga, with your baby (or even toddler) and new commitments – Anywhere, Anytime! You don’t even have to leave your home.
I offer you tips & ideas to help you reclaim your body, your mind, and your Goddess power.
Additional benefits:
Increase sleep depth (even if you are sleep deprived),
Increase self esteem and your sense of self (even if you are still breastfeeding and baby is small),
Stretch all those muscles that are adjusting to holding your little one often,
Enjoy ‘me’ time, and being able to find it now that it seems so difficult,
Enjoy doing things with your baby or toddler (it’s ok if baby cries or you need to nurse),
Connect with other mums and share your experience,
Make the matrescence* period easier, even if you think you have zero time,
Get ideas for food preparation,
And making life easier in general.

* The term “matrescence,” coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael in the mid '70s, and brought into common use in psychology by clinical psychologist Aurelie Athan, head of the maternal psychology lab at Columbia University, describes a woman's transition into parenthood.
