In these sessions, you’ll learn the difference between simple stretching for flexibility and the specific strengthening asanas like Goddess or Warrior pose that build the physical endurance you actually need for labor. It’s about building a body that recovers faster, so we focus on pelvic floor health and optimal baby positioning from the second trimester onwards, rather than generic prenatal fitness. ### Why Start in the Second Trimester? Many moms wait until the third trimester to start prep, but the second trimester is your sweet spot for building a solid foundation. This is when your energy is typically better and you have the time to build the stability and pelvic strength that makes a difference when labor starts. ### Stretching vs. Strengthening It is common to think pregnancy yoga is just about being 'flexible.' That is a myth. While we do use stretches like Cat-Cow or butterfly pulses to create space in the pelvis, we balance them with strengthening moves. Strengthening your quads, glutes, and core is non-negotiable for labor endurance. When you can hold a deep squat or lunge, you are training your body to handle the intensity of contractions, not just the physical weight of pregnancy. ### Pelvic Floor & Optimal Positioning A major focus here is the pelvic floor—not just tightening it, but learning to relax it. A tight pelvic floor can actually hinder birth. We practice movements that encourage your baby into an optimal head-down position, making your labor journey smoother. This is the practical, physical 'labour prep' that textbooks often miss. ### What You Get in My Programs: * **Trimester-Specific Sessions:** Nothing is 'one size fits all.' My flows adapt as your bump grows. * **Evidence-Based Education:** No myths, no random advice. Just clear information on why we do what we do. * **Community:** You gain access to my private group of mamas-to-be so you aren't going through this alone. * **Partner Training:** I include specific guidance on how your partner can support you during labor using techniques like counter-pressure and movement. ## About Bharti Goel Hi, I’m Bharti.
