🩷ONLINE PREGNANCY YOGA

Join me for TONIGHTS 730-830pm Online Pregnancy Yoga Class,
April 9th
Take live and/or recording

This evening is about the love, bonding & birthing hormone, Oxytocin 💞

This special class will help you connect with your body & mind while bonding with your little one💞

Dm for booking details.

Dim the lights,play soothing music, light candles,fairy lights to create a space that invites relaxation for you & connection with your baby.

💞Studies suggest that bonding with your baby during pregnancy can have positive effects on labour, birth outcomes & mindset.

Research in this area is still evolving. Some key findings highlight the benefits:

💞Oxytocin Release: Bonding, such as talking to your baby & practicing relaxation, promote the release of oxytocin, the “love” hormone. Oxytocin is crucial for labour, as it stimulates uterine contractions & helps with the progression of birth.

Bonding with baby can encourage the natural flow of this hormone before & during labour, potentially aiding in more effective contractions & a more efficient labour process.

💞Reduced Stress & Anxiety: Emotional bonding with the baby has been linked to reduced levels of stress, fear & anxiety in expectant mothers.

Lower stress levels can positively impact birth by helping the body to remain relaxed & focused, especially important with the physical demands of childbirth.

💞Improved Birth Outcomes: Studies have shown that mothers who engage in bonding activities (whatever works for you) report feeling more confident & empowered during birth.

This sense of emotional connection can improve the experience of childbirth, reduce feelings of fear & encourage a more positive mindset going into labour.

💞Increased Well-being: Bonding activities or simply being present with your baby, can enhance overall maternal health by increasing feelings of attachment & emotional security. Feeling more connected to baby may also lead to a more mindful & calmer approach to the challenges of birth regardless how you birth your baby.

💞Infant Development: Some research suggests that bonding with baby may support healthier brain development in your baby!
