Yoga can bring tremendous benefits to your experience of pregnancy , childbirth and beyond.
The practice of gentle stretching and breathing exercises improves posture, flexibility and body awareness, aids effective relaxation and helps to avoid the minor ailments of pregnancy. Yoga helps us to trust in our bodies and get in touch with our birth giving instincts.

Rooted in ancient Indian philosophy, yoga uses various poses (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation to achieve improved circulation, muscle tone, physical, mental and emotional balance and, spiritual/psychological well-being.
One of the most popular forms of yoga practised today, Sivananda yoga gives a perfect balance between Pranayma, Asanas, and Relaxation.
I have been teaching yoga intensely in India and Kenya since 2007. I have varied skills from teaching to healing, all based on a desire to help others find their balance through Yoga, Ayurvedic massage, Reiki and Vastu (environmental Metaphysics).
