Dear Maureen
I found your yoga class extremely helpful during my whole pregnancy and as birth preparation. I must say I did not expect to get into as much as I did as I have done some yoga in the past but it never clicked. Some points that were standing out for me:
– your sat class where the dads can come along: this was extremely helpful for Mark but also for me as kind of reassurance that he knows what we are in for
– during the last couple of weeks of my pregnancy when I stopped work, I was actually doing your yoga class every second morning at home; I used it as preparation and relaxation tool and I kind of miss it now.
– in early labour I used positions such as on my fours circling around and also child’s pose on the floor leaning against the bed. at times Mark was massaging my lower back which was soooo good!
– I actually gave birth in the pool so I did not really use any yoga positions there – HOWEVER – all the breathing techniques you taught me were a life saver!!! I could really use my deep breathing and it was also helpful when Mark reminded me every now and then to do so. I did not expected it to work like this and the result was a natural water birth!
So I guess in short the partner participation, the relaxation of the yoga and the breathing were my key points 😉
OK the milkbar is on request again.
See you soon
