Perinatal Yoga?
Although pregnant people have been practicing yoga for thousands of years, after it was brought to the United States, many people took precautionary measures, barring the perinatal population from attending classes. And while it is absolutely true that the perinatal body has some limitations and specific needs, it is also absolutely true that pregnant and postpartum bodies are 100% capable of a healthy yoga practice!
Yoga in the West
Often times, the way we have adapted yoga in the west might not be safe for the pregnant body, or the perinatal body, but this is a very niche interpretation of yoga, and is not rooted in yoga, ancient science, and not supported by much more than the Western ego.
Geeta Iyengar, the daughter of B.K.S Iyengar (the creator of Iyengar yoga), was her father’s right hand man in helping Iyengar Yoga gain in popularity and advance. She later went on to be considered the “mother of prenatal yoga,” quite literally writing the book on how to safely implement yoga into the perinatal body, often using herself and her own body for demonstrations and photos to show how to safely adapt or develop a class to your body
Perinatal Yoga Precautions
Today, studios and individuals all over the world practice yoga safely during the perinatal period of their lives. While much of the United States focuses on an aesthetic yoga practice, Arlee’s classes focus on observation of the self, connecting the mind and body, and really tuning into your needs. Arlee’s classes will always
- Have a safe temperature for practicing
- Have asana (movement) safe for the pregnant and perinatal body. Modifications are encouraged
- Encourage students to listen to their bodies and stray from the sequences if something else feels right for you
Ayurvedic…Yoga?
Yes! Ayurveda is often called the sister science to yoga, and it is just that! Ayu translates from Sanskrit to English as “life” and veda translates to “science” or “the study of.” Therefor, we can conclude that Ayurveda is the study of life. Yoga, on the other hand, translates from Sanskrit to English as “yoke” to symbolizes oneness, peace, and harmony. Both practices work to take care of the body, the mind, and the world around.
While Ayurveda is often assumed to be spices and herbs or a diet, and this is true that Ayurveda consists of this, Ayurveda is so much more than that; this is why we weave it into our yoga and other areas of life!
