CONSCIOUS BREATHING FOR PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM - CLASS 6 (UJJAYI BREATH)

This workshop is part of the Conscious Breathing Course. Class 6 is focusing on Ujjayi breath. This technique is a must when we are pregnant, and during postpartum times! When pregnant it helps us to calm down, but we can also actively use it during labor in the last birthing phase when we are close to meet our little one. And once we have our baby with us, it helps us calm them down and ourselves as well! The soft sound that we create while using Ujjayi breath is similar to the white noise that babies simply love, so definitely a technique which we want to be familiar with during the long nights when our babies prefer playing around rather than going back to sleep ;-)

It is one of techniques that you can actively use during labor to calm yourself down. Especially beneficial to do after transitioning from home to the hospital/birthing center, or when you are simply overwhelmed. But not only. The benefits are amazing for any phase of your life.

General benefits of Ujjayi breath: it soothes the nervous system, calms the mind and increases psychic sensitivity. It relieves insomnia, slows down the heart rate and lowers blood pressure. It is a tranquilizing pranayama, but it also has a heating effect, stimulating the process of oxidation.
