Modifying Yoga Nidra for Pregnancy, Birth and Early Motherhood

CPD Workshop for Yogas Nidra Teachers working with Pregnancy

Sunday 25 Feb, 10am – 4pm Online

The unique experience of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period with its requirements of deep trust, enduring patience, bodily intimacy and psychic surrender necessitate deep preparation.

Cultivation of an intimate inner life is the domain of yogas nidra. Through its various stages, yoga nidra for pregnancy offers a pathway for deep mental relaxation and intimate bodily self-awareness, with all the benefits which accompany that, including enhanced mother-baby connection, bodily trust and enhanced birth visioning capacity. The cumulate effect is an inner life that is more aware and more stable. Working with the subconscious, as yoga nidra for pregnancy does, also enables the mother to explore the landscape of her mind and its capacity for creative will and manifestation.

The need for the reclamation of the pregnant mind and the cultivation of personal will and trust is greater than ever in the face of soaring intervention rates and a critical reduction in physiological birth.. Yoga nidra for pregnancy offers an easy and sustaining psychic support for pregnant mothers as they navigate the anxieties of late pregnancy, the tumultuous waves of labour and the challenges of the postpartum period.

This one day training, for certified yoga nidra teachers will focus-in with depth and clarity on each of the steps of the classical yoga nidra path and demonstrate how to adapt them to optimise intimate bodily awareness, mother and baby connection, creative birth visioning and sustaining maternal self care.

A previous yoga nidra training is required to attend this CPD. Value (7 Hours)

I feel privileged and so very lucky to have been able to bring her into the world that way, so thank you for your part in that.

An excellent course. I had a very traumatic first birth. This course with Nadia and the groups support has made me feel confident I can and will have a positive birth experience second time around. It was extremely informative and empowering. Its literally changed my mindset and made me feel able to have a natural and positive birth experience . can’t thank you enough as I genuinely did not think this was possible.

A hugely satisfying course – much marathon anticipated. Have gained overall insight, empowerment and learned how to control anxiety and fear..

I dilated from 4-7cm in an hour which is apparently very quick for a first time mum, and used just tens, the pool and gas / air. So far from the elective c-section we assumed we’d have at the start of the pregnancy.

Amazing course, fantastic preparation for birth and beyond. You’ll be able to face birth confidently. Can’t recommend it enough. And as an extra bonus, you get to meet like-minded local mums to be!

I can’t thank Nadia enough for introducing me to mindfulness, not only did I use it every step of the way during labour, but it has helped me in other aspects of my life and especially now with a new baby!”

“I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the help and advice you gave us. Not only did it help enormously thorough labour (and even now), but I have made such a great group of friends through our meetings who have been a great support, and now this little bundle of joy is more than I could ever have wished for!

It was absolutely fantastic and I only wish we could all meet every week with you and even after all our births too. Everything I learnt on the course has been and will continue to be a huge support also throughout my pregnancy and beyond. However, even more so, the support from our little group of girls, it is invaluable and I cannot thank you enough for that.

Nadias Mindful Birthing Course felt like a calming, safe haven during my pregnancy. I learnt invaluable calming techniques which saw me through my labour and I use now with my baby on those more fretful days!

Natasha

I participated in Nadia’s pregnancy yoga and her Mindful birthing course. I could not have wished for a better group of Mother’s to spend this journey with, Nadia guided us through so many varied aspects of birth and motherhood and it was so incredible to use her experience during my birth and now in my mothering journey. Nadia has taught me so much and I am so grateful to her for inspiring me and sharing her knowledge. I cannot recommend Nadia’s yoga and mindful birthing course more highly.

Jo Hanks

I would absolutely recommend this course. I have gained vital mental preparation for birth and beyond which I am not sure how else I would have got. I am now excited rather than fearful about the whole thing. And I have learned Meditation and Mindfulness which I love!

Nadia’s mindful birthing course was fantastic. I can’t recommend it enough! After a traumatic first birth it enabled me to put my fears to one side and have an amazing birth experience second time round. A huge thank you!
