IMAGINE …

  • Imagine a safe pregnancy movement programme that doesn’t require any equipment and teaches you to use and move your changing body more intelligently, effectively and efficiently.

  • Imagine that during this programme you also explore the repertoire of movements and positions you will benefit from on the day of delivery.

THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS

when you do Movement for Pregnancy & Labour with Alina:
a 6 weeks programme running regularly throughout the year at River Ridge East Birth Centre (Hamilton East).

WHEN: Tuesdays 10:45 am - 12 pm, check Events to find the next block course dates

WHERE: River Ridge East Birth Centre, 35 Te Puutikitiki, Hamilton East

You will be guided by Alina Komnatnaya, a certified Feldenkrais® practitioner, member of the Feldenkrais® Guild NZ, pain educator and a mum of three.

 

This programme will help you make your pregnancy and childbirth easier, because:

  • You will move with awareness and adapt your movement to your needs

  • You will be able to release the unnecessary effort

  • You will know how to listen to your body

  • You will have experience with positions and movements, often unusual, that women tend to choose at each stage of delivery

  • You will know how to protect your pelvic floor

  • You will understand how pain works so that you have more and better strategies to cope with it.

All you need is 70 min a week

and help to focus on gentle movements that allow you to reduce the pain and discomfort, lower stress and increase your energy throughout your entire pregnancy.

Is it suitable for me?

This programme is for pregnant women in any stage of their pregnancy and any shape or condition. Movement explorations you will do are completely safe for you and your baby and gentle so that you don’t strain your joints and muscles.
