Do you fully want to enjoy your pregnancy , do you feel the need for relaxation, do you want balance between your body and mind, and do you want to make a conscious contact with your baby in your belly?
		Come and join pregnancy yoga ! The course is in Dutch and in English. Pregnancy is an unforgettable experience which will be more intense if you practice pregnancy yoga. Pregnancy yoga will make your muscles flexible and strong. It will also give your inner power and balance to give birth as relaxed as possible. What will you do? During the course of 10 classes there is time for yourself, your baby in your belly and for your partner. Besides yoga exercises we will practice breathing and learn how to push and relax during labor (contractions). Besides you will be shown how to stand, lay down, to sit an walk during pregnancy. We will practise massage and do exercises to enhance the contact with your baby. You will also receive information about different types of giving birth, healthy food and special tips for pregnancy diseases. And you can exchange experiences with other pregnant women. During the two partner classes the partner will learn some tricks and tips to help you to bring your child into the world. If your partner can/does not want to join the partner class you can bring your mother (in law), sister (in law) or a friend.

What do you need?
You do not need any yoga experience. You can start with the course when you are beteen 18 and 26 weeks pregnant. You can continue with pregnancy yoga until the day of giving birth. Wear comfortable clothes. Bring a big towel/cloth, a refillable water bottle and anti-slip socks or slippers with you.

Who is the yoga teacher?
My name is Coco Bliss. I got my diploma for pregnancy yoga teacher at Mudra, School for Pregnancy Yoga, headed by pregnancy yoga expert Tanja Secrève. I worked as a trainee for Greetje Schaap in the Birthcentre Amsterdam. I received the international acknowledged yoga teacher diploma from Sivananda in India. I follow for years classes from my yogamaster Martyn Hoogstra in Nederland and in India. I did yogamaster classes with Dona Holleman. Martyn and Dona are both trained by yogamaster B.K.S. Iyengar, the founder of the modern yoga. The training for ayurvedic acupresure massage I did in Auroville in India. I worked as a trainer, manager of a daycare centre, and for a pregnancy yoga magazine, childern's television and film.

For me it is very important that by doing pregnancy yoga you will be more conscious about yourself and your pregnanacy and will feel confident that you will manage giving birth.
