Yoga with Denise

I haven’t posted for a long time..

I found the need to make ‘social media content’ suddenly became a chore and draining… so I retreated and focused on just teaching and being present with my students 🌟

But I’ve poked my head out my cave briefly today to share that I will be taking a break from teaching for a while…

All my yoga classes have now finished as I’m off to prepare to have a baby🐣

It’s been strange saying bye to my students but my body feels ready to slow down and turn inwards…

If you need some local teacher recommendations in Egham and surrounding area then check out .uk .co.uk They all provide a range of lush classes that will keep you feeling good and finding a safe space to practice your Yoga 🙏🏼

I’m not sure when I’ll poke back up on social media so I’ll say bye, for now 💜

**Pinchy pain?**

Pelvic Girdle Pain (or PGP) can be super common in pregnancy and manifests in all sorts of ways.

Some pregnant people describe it as having barbed wire in their pelvis, that stops them from even the most basic of functioning. Others may have it slightly milder and experience it as pinching or aching in their p***c bone or lower back.

Either way, it sucks!

If you have PGP or think you may do, firstly talk to your midwife. Secondly seeing a manual therapist such as an Osteopath or Physio can sometimes be really helpful in giving you some reprieve from symptoms.

There’s no one size fits all answer to PGP, so it’s important to tune into your body and pay attention to your own range of motions that are pain free.

Pregnancy Yoga can help support you with this…you can spend time with your body learning what movements work and what doesn’t. And importantly, we link the body with the breath. Although this sounds really obvious, when we’re in pain we often hold or restrict our breath which then has a knock on effect on our nervous system…so bringing your attention to breathing patterns and learning to *inhabit* your breath a little deeper is another tool in your toolkit in helping to deal with pain.

This week’s Pregnancy Yoga class is using a birthing ball, so great for anyone with PGP!
