HYPNOBIRTHING RELAXATION & PRENATAL YOGA
4-WEEK COURSE

​

I'm so pleased to be joining forces with the wonderful Sarah Newman, mum, yoga instructor and founder of Prasarita Yoga. 
Birth support has always been my first love. Before I founded Neurocompatible, I trained as a hypnobirthing instructor. The practice supported my own pregnancy journey and the calm and empowered birth of my son. 

​

Sarah and I have thoughtfully and carefully designed this unique course to help you prepare your body & mind and feel positive about your upcoming birth. The combination of pre-natal yoga & hypnobirthing-based techniques offers a complete package for birth preparation; not only teaching about the birthing process, but how to enjoy the experience and bring baby into the world in an empowered, gentle & calm way. 

​
 

COURSE DETAILS

​

The yoga element of the course will be led by Sarah, a professionally qualified pre- & post-natal instructor who founded Prasarita Yoga in 2017 with the aim of supporting new & expectant mums from the early stages of pregnancy through to postpartum recovery.

The postures & movements will be appropriate to the stage of pregnancy you are in.

​

The hypnobirthing element will be led by neuroscientist Naianna Robertsson, certified hypnobirthing teacher & meditation guide. She combines cutting-edge neuroscience knowledge with mindfulness, meditation and breathwork that has the potential to change key structures of your brain.

Naianna uses a compassionate and encouraging approach to inspire confidence in yourself.

CLASS BREAKDOWN

​

The course is run as four 90-minute sessions, starting on the 9th of August.

Each week’s practice will be inspired by one of the four classical elements:

 

9th August: 4 - 5.30pm.

This week we focus on the Earth element - linked to Muladhara, the root chakra (or energy centre); the colour red; with characteristics of grounding, stabilising & belonging.
After yoga practice, we follow with an introduction to hypnobirthing and the science behind meditation, how to release fears & anxiety surrounding birth and replace them with calm, confidence, finishing with a guided meditation.

​

16th August: 4 - 5.30pm.

The Water element - Svadhisthana, the womb chakra; the colour orange; feminine, sensual, creative & powerful.
This week we focus on the anatomy of childbirth, the physiology & hormones involved in triggering labour, and the beautiful journey your body is about to go through. You will learn simple yet effective breathing techniques & positions for a natural delivery to enable you to look forward to the birth of your baby!

​

23rd August: 11.30am - 1pm.

The Fire element - Manipura, the solar plexus chakra; the colour yellow; clarity, courage, intensity, confidence & humility.
We focus on what to expect from first contractions, labour stages, possible interventions, to meeting your baby. You will be equipped with calming tools & techniques to feel empowered throughout the entire birthing journey. 

​

30th August: 11.30am - 1pm.

The Air element - Anahata, the heart chakra; the colour green; love, compassion, balance, life force, relationships & inner peace.
In the final session, we focus on practicing self-kindness & self-love once your baby is here - what to expect from the postpartum period, physical & emotional changes and how to best support your body & mind to help & inspire you through the journey of early motherhood.
