If you're
pregnant or just had a baby and are wondering how to keep fit and exercise safely, you've come to the right place!
Usually a yoga program is conducted in a classroom or on land surfaces. But a
new concept of yoga has come into being known as aqua yoga. Practising yoga in the water can provide a number of benefits.
It acts as a safeguard against any injuries that occur on land. When you are practising on hard surfaces, your knees and other
muscles might get stiff and it may lead to injuries. The movements of your hands and legs become smoother in water and therefore
your body will not experience the strain if you do aqua yoga. Water is often considered as a symbol of mental relief
and it soothes your soul because it brings a sense of enthusiasm within you. Many poses are performed quicker and easier as
the ripples that are created in the water force your body to maintain the necessary pose.
Aqua Yoga benefits your body as well as your mind and is a fun and safe form of exercise . It is specifically designed
for pregnancy and postnatal recovery. Aqua Yoga can commence from 16 weeks of pregnancy and from 6 weeks after the birth of
your baby.
Classes will be available in Upminster and Brentwood from October 2009.
