FAQS:
Will
I be able to do yoga during pregnancy, even if I've never done yoga
before?
Yes, the
Healthy Moms® Yoga class assumes no prior knowledge of yoga. Each
pose is fully explained, along with any modifications that may be
necessary as you progress through your pregnancy.
What are some
of the benefits of yoga for pregnant women?
The practice of yoga during
pregnancy can boost your energy and refresh you when you feel fatigued,
and it will also calm you if you are over-active, helping you sleep
more soundly. Many of the poses will counteract discomforts such as
backaches and stiff shoulders. Learning to relax and release tension
will also contribute to an easier labor and delivery.
Describe the
format of a typical Healthy Moms® yoga class.
Each class begins with
a short relaxation, followed by full body warm-ups. The main body
of the class incorporates standing yoga postures such as Triangle
and Tree, along with various seated positions. The class closes with
a guided relaxation. Simple breathing techniques are also practiced
in each class.
I'm naturally
stiff and have never done much stretching before. I'm afraid I won't
be able to do poses that tie me up like a pretzel.
Healthy Moms® Yoga
classes are gentle classes geared towards pregnant women. Anyone can
learn and benefit from yoga, no matter what their natural physical
ability is or how much they exercised before they became pregnant.
Does the Healthy
Moms® Yoga class incorporate any religious practices or philosophies?
No, the class focus is
on stretching, breathing and relaxation techniques.
How qualified
are the Healthy Moms® yoga instructors? What style of yoga do
they teach?
The two Healthy Moms®yoga
instructors have been practicing yoga for six and eleven years. Besides
completing the Healthy Moms® Perinatal Fitness Instructor training,
the instructors are also undergoing certification at the 500 hour
level with the Esther Myers Yoga Teacher Training program. Esther
Myers' 10 years as a student of Vanda Scaravelli inspired her to find
her own unique, organic approach to yoga. Besides producing two videos,
she is coauthor of a practice manual for beginners and author of Yoga
& You.
How should I
dress for class?
Comfortably!
What should I
bring to class?
Please bring with you a water bottle, mat, pillow, and blanket.
Should I eat
before class?
We ask that you eat a light meal, or snack, about an hour, or two,
before the start of class.
Can I just show
up for class when I'm ready to start?
No. You must first contact Healthy Moms®, either by phone at 919-781-MOMS (6667) or by e-mail (info@healthymomsnc.com) to schedule your orientation and confirm written consent from your OB or midwife.
Do I need written
consent from my OB or midwife to participate in your programs?
Yes, for most moms. If you are less than three months postpartum and
new to Healthy Moms®, you must obtain written consent from your
doctor or midwife. If you need assistance obtaining your consent,
please contact the Healthy Moms® office-we're happy to help.
