Pregnancy Relaxation Workshop

Date TBC

Soothe your nervous system with this nurturing, informative relaxation workshop for pregnant women.

Activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the relaxation response) is crucial for regulating the hormones that you need for a healthy pregnancy. However, our modern lifestyles are hectic. We easily get caught up in being busy and often don’t place enough emphasis on the importance of rest. On top of that, getting comfortable can be quite difficult – especially in the later stages of pregnancy – making rest and relaxation feel pretty elusive!

Over the course of 2 hours, you will be guided through some restful yoga postures and massage practices to help you activate a relaxation response. We will also provide you with some tips and techniques to help you rest at home.

We will end the workshop with herbal teas and treats. Every Mum-to-be will also receive a goody bag.
