Prenatal yoga has numerous benefits. It can relieve many of the aches and issues that normally occur during this time, as well as providing greater ease in the delivery.
Emotions and stress influence the baby and the mother. Now is the time to slow down and tune inward to you and your growing baby. Your body will be going through a lot of changes, and we will prepare the body and mind for what is to come by for instance:
· work on body awareness to protect the back as weight and hormones changes your body, your balance etc.
· increasing strength in legs and upper body to carry the increasing weight to come
· learn about and practice breathing in a way that will help you in the delivery process
· learn about the pelvic floor, perennial muscles, and the deeper pelvic muscles – the importance of training these in order to be able to participate more consciously in the birthing process, and to recover faster after delivery. Some of the more specific benefits from this are: to avoid urinary incontinence for as long as possible, to avoid vaginal and uterine prolapse or perennial tear etc.
We will also have lot of time in nice relaxing postures that relieve tension, swellings etc. The way yoga combines breath, movement and awareness is ideal to prepare for the birthing process over time.
Independent on how far you have come in your pregnancy Maria will give you the adaptations you need, so all stages are welcome.

After you have recovered fully postpartum and feel ready to start moving again, postnatal yoga is a great way to re-connect to your body and rebuild strength in a safe way.
The babies love to be involved and this is a nice way to connect to your baby, and for the baby to connect with other babies. The baby will be included in many ways in the class dependent on the age of the baby. For the youngest ones laying on the mat and observing mummy move above and getting occasional kisses and massage/movement of legs and arms is enough, while the older ones can be included more actively in the asanas – and they usually find this is a lot of fun!
But the class is also about the mothers – we will be strengthening your muscles in the upper body and arms to help carry the weight of the breasts and the growing baby, correcting posture and release tension in neck and back, re-strengthening pelvic floor muscles etc. Maria is there to take the baby if needed so mummy can do some of the exercises on her own as well, while most exercises includes the baby.
Every class will be different when there are babies involved so flexibility is key here. We have a nursing corner with pillows, a place to change diapers and two bathrooms and shower, so you can do what you need when you need to. There will also be a playing mat for the slightly older babies if they get too distracted and need some change.

Getting yourself and your child a flu vaccine is always a good idea and doing it together is a great way to help them overcome their fears!
On Friday November 8th, Dr. Gesualdo will be administering the flu vaccine at his office (Via Fonteiana, 162 Monteverde) from 3pm -530p . The vaccine called Vaxigrip Tetra can be purchased at any pharmacy including the Murino Pharmacy (https://goo.gl/maps/LjNdNunJ9tkuD7qP9) who has ordered batches for his patients. The pharmacy will be open in the morning until 1pm and in the afternoon from 4pm onwards.
The flu vaccine can be administered from 6 months of age onward. In Italy it is recommended for children who are at high risk of developing a severe form of the flu (such as children with chronic conditions, asthma, diabetes, babies born preterm etc.) However, the vaccine offers protection from the flu also for children and adults who are not high risk, which is why in many countries the vaccine is recommended for the whole population. On this occasion also parents can receive the vaccine.
Places are limited, so those interested can send an email to f.gesualdo@gmail.com.
