Nina Isabella is the devoted mum of her fine young son and the founder of mamashanti mother peace yoga. Nina is a prenatal yoga teacher, childbirth educator, birth attendant, and passionate advocate for reclaiming women’s trust in their innate wisdom to birth and raise their children consciously.
mamashanti's Prenatal Yoga Classes are all about taking the time to make your experience of pregnancy more comfortable and joyful. It's about consciously connecting with your growing baby and learning practical ways to move, breathe and stretch to help prepare you for the experience of childbirth and motherhood beyond.
The mamashanti approach to prenatal yoga is eclectic, warm and truly heart-centred. Classes are flowing, integrating movement with breath and intention to awaken the inner light within us all.
These prenatal yoga classes draw upon the rich tradition of the restorative model of yoga. This means that we use lots of props – blankets, bolsters and chairs to bring the full experience of each asana (stretch) within everyone's reach. As a highly modified form of yoga, these classes are not about what you can't do , but all about all that you can do . In class, you'll learn what you can do to:
- Relieve back pain
- Manage anxiety
- Improve your breathing and digestion
- Encourage optimal fetal positioning in preparation for labour
- Create a real sense of joy in your own capabilities!
All this comes together to make the connection to yoga very relevant to modern pregnancy and parenting!
