Yoganida

As I'm receiving a growing amount of requests for private or semi-private yoga classes and very much enjoy such settings where I can tailor the entire session to the needs of the participant(s) in a way only such sessions allow, I wanted to make sure everyone was aware privates were most definitely an option! :)
Why do people reach out for privates?
✔️ They want to explore more advanced poses which are not necessarily taught in group settings
✔️ They are dealing with a chronic injury or serious medical condition requiring specific attention
✔️ They are interested in building healthy foundations for their yoga practice before joining group classes
✔️ They want to share something special with a friend/partner
✔️ They prefer getting the teacher's undivided attention
✔️ ...
Just like there are many reasons why people hop on a yoga mat for the very first time, there are also countless reasons why people want to take private classes (either occasionally or exclusively). So if either of the statements listed here above resonates with you, send us a DM so we can look into what would work best for you. We're there to help ;)

While it's among the lowest among OECD countries, c-section rate in the Netherlands amounts to approximately 17% today, and has been steadily on the rise for a little while now.
Although both cutting & suturing techniques have drastically improved over time (e.g. shift from vertical to horizontal incision in most cases, reduction of the scar length, and even introduction of "gentle" c-sections), healing from a c-section, even a "gentle" one, can have unexpected complications that are not widely known, both physical and psychological, where the scar is only the tip of the iceberg.
C-section scar healing sessions proposed by Marie-Laure, our pre/postnatal yoga expert a.o., involve a combination of self-massage techniques and specific yoga sequences tailored to the maturity of the scar. Such sessions are beneficial as from 4-6w after childbirth and up to several years (or even decades) after the surgery took place; they are both healing and preventive.
At a physical level, c-section scar healing helps preventing adhesions (and increase chances of VBAC), lower back pain, loss in bladder control and regaining pelvic floor tone & elasticity as well as core strength. Emotionally, these techniques help reconnect with the scar area, deal with potential loss of sensation, and improve the relationship of the mother with both herself and others (e.g. baby, partner, etc.). Pretty amazing what a little extra self-care can do, right? :)
So if, you have recently given birth through c-section (or even years ago) and would like to explore how to heal your scars (inside & out) properly to avoid all sorts of issues now or later in life, please do send us a DM! Thanks to her latest training, Marie-Laure will gladly help you out through targeted yoga practices & specific self-massage techniques. Who's in? :)
