Partner Prenatal Yoga

September 8, 2017 by Full Circle KC

Partner prenatal yoga offers so many mutual benefits to a growing a family. It’s an opportunity to connect with one another and share in the journey of pregnancy. Partners can be empowered through learning poses and visualization tools that will help support mama during labor and delivery. Prenatal partner yoga celebrates the partnership and union of two parents preparing to bring life into the world.

Time to Connect- Life gets busy. There is a lot of work to plan for the arrival of a little one! Sometimes it seems hard to find time to connect and embrace the life experience of pregnancy together. When I ask mamas what they and their partner do to connect as a family I hear we read books to baby, we listen to music together, at night when we are laying together my partner feels baby move around. These are all wonderful ways to find time to connect. Prenatal partner yoga is another grounding way to find shared connection during a time that your lives are changing. Through sequenced and supported poses and space to give pause to the outside world, partners can connect on a deeper level nourishing the partnership.

Builds Trust and Confidence- There is great wisdom through educating yourself in how you want your birthing journey to be experienced. Joining a partners prenatal yoga can be educational in learning from others and knowing where one can advocate for their desired birthing journey. When both partners are armed with knowledge about choices they have during the birthing journey, it becomes empowering, and when we are empowered we trust the inner strength and intuition.
