Prenatal yoga is an excellent way to prepare for childbirth and you don’t need any prior knowledge. Prenatal yoga includes gentle yoga poses, breathing exercises, meditation and relaxation. The program is designed and adapted to how the body changes during pregnancy. The exercises are performed at a leisurely pace based on your needs and possibilities. Ailments such as back pain and sore joints can be alleviated and prevented. Yoga counteracts stress, gives the body space to rest and helps you to relax. Gathering strength and energy is an important part of the yoga tradition as well as before birth.

Many yoga exercises can also be used as labor and delivery positions. By practicing these during pregnancy, it becomes easier to trust the body’s ability and to relax during childbirth. In yoga, breathing is central. Getting to know and getting to know your breath is a valuable tool for feelings of anxiety and stress. During the course, you will learn to breathe calmly, which provides security, support and self-help when you give birth. Each course ends with a nice rest.

There is a lot of research on prenatal yoga which shows, among other things, that it strengthens faith in oneself and one’s body and increases confidence in one’s own ability to give birth. Studies also show that the experience of giving birth more often becomes positive. Yoga also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, our peace and quite system, which is the system you want to be in during your birth to help your body work well and to relieve pain. Then high levels of our calmness hormone – oxytocin – are also released, the important hormone that causes the uterine muscles to contract during labor and a positive birth spiral starts.
