5 Great Ways to Use a Birthing Ball For an Easier Childbirth

As those of you who are taking my pregnancy classes know, I am a huge fan of using birthing balls during your pregnancy, labour and birth. I strongly advice all students to get a ball as soon as they know that they are pregnant and spend as much time on it as possible.  Use your ball at home, relaxing, watching TV, at your desk, at your kitchen table and use that ball to ease any back pressure. Don't forget to use your ball for your daily exercises too!

5 Pregnancy Yoga Postures to Try at Home

The key to keeping your body in good shape and your back strong during your pregnancy is to keep it moving. I recommend joining a Pregnancy Yoga Class or Pregnancy Pilates class or even better do both. If you are walking daily, going to class and then add in some gentle stretches at home, you will have a healthy, pain free pregnancy and you will keep your back strong throughout.Please click here for 5 postures to try at home daily.
Join me for Pregnancy Yoga Classes Thursday at a18.30 or Pregnancy Pilates Classes Tuesdays at 17.

Rock Star Yoga

Maroons 5’s Adam Levine has recently come out praising the benefits of Yoga. Levine is one of the growing ambassadors of Yoga crediting it to his feel good factor.
 
“Weights made my neck thick, and I would be like, ‘I’m turning into a monster!’ Yoga takes what you have and moulds and sculpts it, which is a much more natural way to look and feel.” 
 
The Maroon 5 lead singer is all about his pre-concert ritual.“Playing a show before thousands of people is a highly unnatural state. When I get on the mat and do an hour of yoga before the show, I come out physically relaxed,”

Yoga Home Practice

As a Yoga and Pilates teacher, I often get asked the following questions;
How often should I do Yoga or Pilates?
Should I practice at home?
What exercises should I do?
How can I remember what you do in class?
 
Everyone knows the benefits of coming to a Yoga or Pilates class, and students often ask me how often they should practice outside of class. The ideal yoga practice is a daily practice, I recommend students try do something 3-5 days per week.
 
I have recorded a one hour DVD suitable for home Yoga practice.
