​ [Tokyo/Nakano] Maternity Yoga

CHIHIRO

Prenatal yoga

​Congratulations on your pregnancy.

There are so many things you don't know about your first pregnancy.

Along with happiness and joy, you may also feel confused and anxious about keeping up with the effects of your stomach and hormonal balance on your body, which change every week.

Even though I feel like I need to move my body for childbirth and postpartum,

I don't really know what movements to do while pregnant.

During pregnancy, posture is disturbed due to changes in the pelvis and center of gravity.

Muscle imbalance and breathing become shallow.

Proper care during pregnancy can also help speed up postpartum recovery.

Deep breathing while gently relaxing your body reaches the baby in your stomach,

This will help you develop a sense of paying attention to your body and baby during childbirth, which will help you have a smooth birth.

​What is maternity yoga?

pregnancy yoga

We will use yoga, breathing techniques, and relaxation to maintain your body as it changes during pregnancy.

During pregnancy, a mother's body suffers from back pain, stiff shoulders, fatigue and swelling due to insomnia.

We will prepare your mind and body with self-care yoga that approaches minor problems.

By targeting the muscles necessary for childbirth, you will develop the stamina necessary for childbirth.

Breathing is very important in yoga. The same goes for childbirth.

By practicing focusing on your breathing and focusing on your body during the lesson,

You will also learn to let go of unnecessary strain and accept things as they are.

Prenatal yoga instructor CHIHIRO

CHIHIRO

Working as a flight attendant for a foreign company in Hong Kong, he became ill due to his irregular lifestyle.

 

I started doing yoga to manage my stress and physical condition.

I am drawn to yoga because it allows me to face myself and relax my mind.

 

Take various yoga classes around the world

(After discovering yoga, my physical condition improved and I began to focus on stress management.)

Relax your mind and body by doing yoga together,

I became a yoga instructor because I wanted to connect with small daily happiness.

After giving birth to a boy in 2019 and a girl in 2022, I realized how difficult it is to do the housework that everyone does and to become a mother.

During prenatal and postnatal periods when the physical and mental balance is likely to be disrupted.

I want you to spend your daily life as light as possible through yoga.

We hold lessons for mothers.
