Prenatal and Postnatal News

bonnie — Tue, 27 May 2008 04:52:35 +0000

First Up - Postnatal Yoga News I’ve had quite a few requests to run a postnatal class - just for Mum’s. Like you, I’m doing my best to elegantly juggle motherhood & other commitments & so I’ve come up with an idea, that just might work for us………….. mamashanti ~ mother peace yoga presents mothering sundays ~ a month of postnatal yoga just for mum’s

These classes aim to gently nourish and energise your body and spirit. An opportunity to continue your yoga practice in a supportive and familiar environment, these classes are designed to help you regain physical and emotional strength and to find some clarity during this demanding time. We will work deeply with your breath to relax your body and mind. Classes are structured around classical Hatha Yoga, with some essential refinements to make these classes very relevant to modern mothering ~

* Deep guided relaxation in fully supported postures to help settle into the class.

* Restorative breathing techniques taught as both an integrated practice and a separate portion of the class.

* Soft flowing stretch sequences alternated with moderately challenging postures and then resting into fully supported postures for longer periods than usually experienced in yoga classes. We’ll build strength, sustain flexibility and gently soothe away any aches and pains you may be carrying.

* Guided meditation to teach objectivity, cultivate calm, lift the spirit.

* Conscious relaxation to consolidate the benefits of the class.

These classes are designed to make the teachings accessible and to give you the tools to take your yoga experience from the class setting, into your homes and daily lives.

Watch the Cat

bonnie — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 08:34:45 +0000

The children should sit on their knees and then bend forward in majariasana, the cat pose. Stretching their arms and meowing and curling inwards. Then they should silently relax sideways, as cats often do when basking in the sun, lying completely limp and still but listening to your voice. If a cat hears a meaningful noise, it will immediately spring onto its feet.

So while the children are relaxing on the floor, keep on speaking to them.

“Now you are lying down as if you are asleep, but you are not. You are clever alert cats, so even though you look like you are sleeping you can still hear me. As soon as I say the word mouse really loudly, you must spring into the full cat pose again really quickly.

Try placing a few paper mice (origami) around the children while they are in relaxed cat pose so they can pounce on them when they assume full cat pose.

A great way to teach children that relaxation can be done while being completely alert.

Wind in the Trees

bonnie — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 08:26:25 +0000

Grab a partner. One goes into tree. The other becomes the ferocious wind. The wind can dance, blow, and tell jokes – anything but touch the tree to make the tree fall. The tree must focus on rooting into the earth and maintaining steady concentration.
