Hello mamas and welcome back to the Pregnancy with Physio Laura podcast. 

Today we are kicking off the fourth episode in this Yoga & Doula series, diving into the benefits of yoga and meditation in pregnancy. This is episode 4 of a 5 part Yoga & Doula series with the beautiful doula and yoga and meditation teacher, Louise Maguire. 

Louise chats today about the importance of yoga and meditation in building the mind/body/spirit connection. How these tools can help to reduce both physical and mental tension and help you connect deeper with your baby. Why leaning into all emotions (not just the positives ones) is so important and how you can meditate if you think you are one of those women who just can’t sit still. 

If you haven’t already listened to the first three episode in this series, make sure you go back and have a listen because we discuss the role of the doula in pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period and how fear can manifest itself in birth. It is is important to understand this first, so you can truly see how yoga and meditation can then help you overcome this if necessary. 

Now let’s get into episode 4 of our 5 part Yoga & Doula series. This is a great chat for all women who want to slow down, be more present, connect deeper with their baby, reduce fear and tension and just generally chill out more. Enjoy!
