Private Yoga & Mindfulness Therapy
|
One in five women will experience a mental health problem during their pregnancy and in the first year after birth, with depression and anxiety disorders being the most common.
Minded Yoga was created to provide pregnant and postnatal women a safe and therapeutic space to work with the emotional, psychological and physical challenges around pregnancy, birth and motherhood. |

Why Yoga Therapy?
There are many reasons women may choose to have private Yoga Therapy in their Pregnancy and Postnatal Period.
Unresolved, supressed and unexplored feelings, concerns, issues or emotions however large or small have tendencies to 'show up' in relationship with ourselves and others and can challenge wellbeing during this intense and important time in a woman's life.
During therapy women are invited to meet and express themselves fully and to develop awareness and work through their own feelings, thoughts and emotions without changing, fixing or pushing them away.
Women are invited to do this through themes that are explored through verbal and body-based inquiry that include mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, posturework and guided relaxations.
Some common themes that emerge during the pregnancy and postnatal period include mild, moderate or severe worries, anxieties, concerns, fears and demons around:

Both mindfulness and therapeutic yoga are well known to help improve stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma.
Most therapeutic interventions tend to focus on just the mind and/or just the body as a way to enhance mental well-being, however I believe the most effective way to encourage long-term transformation is by working with the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of ourselves.
Methods that focus just on the mind forget that mental habits are deeply connected with how the brain functions. Without movement or breath work a person will struggle to use the power of mind to change deeply entrenched patterns of thinking and reacting. Likewise if we only focus on the body we may overlook the reasons why we are so tied to particular ways of reacting to the environment.
Research reveals that faster and more long-term healing occurs through the intelligent integration of mind and body techniques.
Private yoga therapy will help you to access these profound healing properties and working together we will aim to:
