CONSCIOUS CONNECTION

GROUP FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

Pregnancy is a time of celebration, change, introspection and enormous growth for most women and their partners. When a pregnant woman feels supported and nurtured during pregnancy, her baby benefits in many ways, including developing an understanding that the world is a safe place.
During this group, pregnant women:

• Practice simple yoga poses that nourish their body and baby, and foster a sense of tranquility and well-being
  
• Discuss feelings about pregnancy and the changes occurring in their bodies, their relationships and their life
  
• Learn and practice simple relaxation exercises
  
• Bond with their baby and other pregnant women

Wednesdays, 10:30 AM - Noon
at Bhava Gati Yoga Studio
West Los Angeles, CA

Pre-registration is required.

Conscious Conception begins with your intention to invite a child into your family. As you refine your intention for the highest good, and practice communicating your intention, you will experience a shift within yourself- an alignment with your intention and a receptivity to the response of the Universe!

During this class, participants will:

• Create and practice their intentions for welcoming a child into their family (and have an opportunity to share them with the group, if they wish)
  
• Learn about the importance of good nutrition and creating a healthy, non-toxic living environment
  
• Learn and practice an Intimacy/Connecting Exercise with their Partner
  
• Learn and practice Marla Apt's yoga sequence that helps prepare the body, mind and spirit for conception
