Pregnancy Yoga with Sejel - Testimonials

-

"Practicing yoga whilst being pregnant has provided me with the chance to gain strength, flexibility and balance; to strive to transform stress into harmony; and equally importantly, given me the ability to further my spiritual journey. It has helped me improve my posture; avoid aches and pain; and enabled me to feel healthier in mind and body. Hopefully, the benefits will also mean that I regain my pre-pregnancy shape more quickly too!"

Archana G, Private Yoga Tuition with Sejel in Warwick Avenue

"I started yoga with Sejel when I was about 7 months pregnant because pregnancy yoga had been recommended to me so many times. It was incredibly calming and yet revitalising, really stretching and moving my body without pain - quite a challenge at 8 months pregnant! I felt renewed, fit and relaxed after each session which I had weekly up until the day I went into labour - about 5 hours after my last class with Sejel! She was a very good teacher and I would recommend her wholeheartedly."

A Greigg, Yoga with Sejel in Kensington and Chelsea

"I had always planned on doing yoga as everyone seems to recommend it for pregnancy. Instead of joining a class I was lucky enough to find Sejel online and have loved our one-to-one weekly sessions. As I didn't have much experience with yoga, Sejel was able to tailor our classes to my pace and level of endurance while taking into account my pregnancy by modifying the poses. The poses and stretches I learned helped me deal with the usual aches and pains that went along with pregnancy and for that alone I am eternally grateful! Thanks Sejel!"

Don't Worry About "Achieving" the Meditative State - This Occurs Naturally After Some Time Once you are well on your way in your yoga practice and healthy in body and approach you may be able to sit still and focus your awareness on a single point.
