Pregnancy Yoga 〜Introspect your body and mind, and leave the rest to nature〜 One of the pleasures of teaching maternity yoga is to see a pregnant women gradually gaining confidence. Every time I hear from many mothers that the breathing techniques and movements they practiced during maternity yoga have helped their childbirth and that they had an easy birth, it always remind me the effectiveness of yoga. ~Main physical effects~ It is still not well known, not only the breech baby but also baby’s position in the womb is related to the length of birth. The baby chooses the best possible position within the mother's womb. When the baby is in the best position and the jaw is tucked in, the baby will drop and the cervix will be more dilated, making labor easier. For that reason, the mother's pelvis, pelvic floor muscles and overall body balance is one of the important factors. In the maternity yoga class, we focus on the optimal position of the baby and poses to prepare the body for a smooth birth. By doing Maternity yoga regularly you will relieves back pain, swelling, shortness of breath and insomnia which are common during pregnancy. It will also help you live your life skilfully controlling symptoms such as pubic symphysis pain during pregnancy that interfere with daily life. When yoga poses, breathing techniques, and relaxation become a routine, childbirth will flow naturally and you will be better able to ride the waves of labor. We have received many responses from mothers who practiced yoga during pregnancy saying "breathing really helped with labor pains!” ~ Main mental effects ~ Breathing and emotional movement are closely connected. When you're angry or impatient your breathing becomes faster however on the contrary your breathing becomes regular and smooth when you're relaxed. In maternity yoga you learn to pay attention to your breathing. It also moves the life energy that flows through the body at the same time. It has been medically said that the mental state of a pregnant woman affects the growth of the baby. You will be able to regulate the various emotional fluctuations during childbirth to a stable emotion as much as possible. Giving birth is an instinct, as it is said to be animalistic. However, humans have knowledge and wisdom. In yoga, it is said that unless you take action, nothing will change and you will not be able to acquire knowledge. Each person gain knowledge and make sense of the acquired knowledge before the actual birth, that is a one of the part of the maternity yoga that I do. During the actual birth, the mother accepts what is and follows her instincts. The key to a smooth birth is to focus on what you need to do and leave the rest and you just move forward instinctively. Maybe your birth doesn't turn out the way you expected. There is nothing good or bad about the act of “giving birth' itself. Fact is, making judgments about what is good and bad is yourself. Just concentrate on `”doing what you can do right now.'' Just as our unborn children have their own souls, the realisation of the “Great Power'' that there are some things you cannot be answered with your body and mind alone. The awareness of it will be a blessing from pregnancy to childbirth and throughout life. Childbirth is a great opportunity for growth! Everyone is welcome. Beginners who have never done yoga before, those who have back pain or pelvic pain can also participate the lesson.
★It helped massively during pregnancy, keeping me active and to the last day I felt very energized, with no pain, and in a great shape to go through labour (and feel confident to do so). I noticed that I recovered quickly too, and my physio told me my abs had been very efficient and back into shape instantly, and my pelvis completely closed. The yoga massively contributed to this.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ -Bring out the infinite possibilities- What I learn from children by teaching in nursery and after school, is that they are always looking at their own parents especially at the beginning of life. It becomes a habit to do good and bad every day. Therefore, as it is parents roles to give their children what they want, Yoga is not only useful for children but also for you to look at yourself. Currently I am teaching a nursery and an extra curriculum for after school. Please feel free to contact to me.

Why do we practice yoga? Many
people may be wonder. “Is it because I'm pregnant and it is recommended? "Because postnatal recovery will be faster?" "Because it's fashionable?" 〜Purpose of Yoga〜 〜Asana (movement) and Pranayama (movement of life energy with breathing)〜 〜Yama and Niyama〜 ★Yama (*Nonviolence *Truthfulness *Non-stealing *Chastity *Non-greed) is a way to live with others. ★Niyama (*Cleanliness *Contentment *Discipline *Study of the scriptures *Surender to higher self) is what you do to yourself. 〜「Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodha」The definition of yoga; calms the mind〜 ~Awakening~ People often change when they get hit with a problem. There may be various worries and problems in front of you, and sometimes they may be painful. You may feel abandoned by everything, feel lonely or afraid, and want to run away. However, what happens in the real world is an opportunity for you to evolve. We tend to deny ourselves or get caught up in the past, causing opportunities for unnecessary thoughts and emotions arise. At times like these, it's important to look at yourself from a bird's-eye view and face the present. Otherwise, you will fall into a negative chain and repeat this time and time again. We re-learn the idea of grounding, a place without a plus or minus and wisdom by learning yoga holistically. At first, you will face with the truth about your body and sensations, and the negative parts of your mind, such as thoughts and emotions, and the habit of giving in to your ego. It's up to you whether you want to constantly react to your thoughts and feelings and hold on to memories and pain you don't need. Or let them go. The goal of yoga is to understand the self/ego, which is like a name tag, and to discover the “Self'' that can be understood by letting go of the “ego’'. You will naturally understand that what is happening now and the people involved are actually meant to help you realise your true self, so your suffering will fade and you will be filled with gratitude. Individuals will be able to become aware, awaken, and demonstrate their true potential. Don't worry if life still feels like a fog. Be honest with yourself, accept what happens each moment and simply do the best you can at each moment without running away or looking for results- relaxed and at ease! ~Beyond time and space~ ~Individual Self and Oneness SELF~ People who acknowledged their own role, become aware of it, and realise that the growth of those around them is exactly the same as their own growth, they will be able to share the understanding beyond words. I practice Yoga bringing the wisdom of 5,000-year-old into everyday life. I am striving to convey "to get closer to yourself" thorough yoga according to each person's pace and purpose of the time.
