SHARAN

A child is the gift of the universe to a woman. A woman is the carrier of the wonder of nature for a little over 9 months then for its growth and upbringing. She is the creator of mankind.

In India, we actually pray for a child. In that crucial period while she creates him or her, she shapes his intellect, his mind, his thought processing, even his decision table ability, his body, whether he will be physically strong or weak, in short a lot of aspects through her state of physical being and then through her thoughts.

Who does not wish to give birth to a healthy child? Or an intelligent, understanding child who is useful to himself, his family, the society he lives in, country and the world? But do we know how to go about it? How many of us know that a healthy, intelligent, beautiful child can be conceived? Or that such a conception can be planned?

Here comes the concept of “Garbhasanskaar” – How to shape your child?

To be able to give birth to such a child, a woman’s body has to be healthy, free of diseases, her mind calm, accepting, and receiving. During the period of pregnancy her state of mind to a large extent, decides or forms the mind of the child. She should know how to take care of her body and mind – her emotions, her thoughts, her physical body all undergo enormous changes, she will never be the same woman.

She should also receive guidance about nutrition. What to eat, what not to eat, how to think, how to manage thoughts, emotions, fatigue etc.

Pregnancy yoga develops your physical strength, mental calmness, self awareness, pelvic floor stretching, chest opening, back strengthening, breathing and using the capacity of the lungs to maximum, better weight management during pregnancy, and easy labour, all these while being on a WFPB lifestyle. During pregnancy it increases the Prana (energy) in the body, helps improve sleep patterns, helps you relax, and create positive feelings in a woman. Pregnancy Yoga decreases stress and anxiety levels in your body. It also teaches a woman to connect with herself and her unborn child.

Welcome to the Pre and Post Natal Yoga programme by our Certified Pregnancy Yoga Teacher, Sharmila Kannan

Beginning from 6 months prior to pregnancy up to 9 1/2 months of pregnancy this programme will take you through yogic practices before conception and post conception for the entire duration of pregnancy. This program will help you remain centred and maintain harmony within and guide you, hand holding you through your journey of motherhood. You will also be given nutritional tips to cover your dietary requirements as per a WFPB (whole food plant based) lifestyle.

After delivery, it would help you manage stress, and tone your muscles and keep you in a positive frame of mind. The programme is divided into 4 parts. The host will speak in both Hindi and English languages.

A Whatsapp group will be formed to handhold all trimesters throughout this program.

This programme does not include cooking demos.

Preconception – Future mothers may join 6 months prior to conception, that is, when they are planning a pregnancy. Attending for one month is a minimum requirement; However participants may continue for as many months as they like. If conception does not happen within 6 months of joining, the participant may continue on her own and rejoin once conception is achieved.

This programme prepares the soil for plantation called as “Garbhadaanam”. Like a farmer prepares the soil prior to sowing so does this programme take you through Sukshma yogic practices (gentle yoga), so that your body develops the balance required for sailing through the pregnancy, guides you towards good eating habits, positive affirmations, raagas/music to listen to and meditation so that a good soul becomes a part of the family by inheriting the thoughts of the mother during the months of carrying the child.

1st Trimester of Pregnancy – Gentle exercises suitable to this trimester, yoga nidra and meditation along with nutritional support.

2nd Trimester & 3rd Trimester of Pregnancy – Yoga asanas, yoga nidra, meditation and soothing music to listen to and nutritional guidance.

Post Delivery – After delivery yoga helps in weight management, strengthens the pelvic floor, helps bring centeredness to a woman’s mind, body strength builds up, may reduce postpartum depression, anxiety, and facilitates the involution process. Guidance on how to raise a child as a vegan.

• Those who have had a normal delivery may join 15 days after delivery.
• Those who have had a normal delivery with episiotomy may join 45 days after delivery.
