Understanding Antenatal & Postnatal Yoga & Garbh Sanskar
Antenatal yoga is a pregnancy‑adapted form of yoga that supports expectant mothers to stay physically fit, ease common discomforts, and prepare for labour.
Postnatal yoga is a light, restorative form of yoga designed to repair tissues, regain core strength, relieve stress, and support the mother’s recovery after delivery.
Garbh Sanskar translates to "education in the womb". It is an ancient Indian, Ayurvedic, and Vedic practice that focuses on nurturing the mental, spiritual, and physical development of an unborn child from conception. Garbh Sanskar fosters foetal intelligence through positive thoughts, music, meditation, and mindful activities.
