<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nowadays pregnant ladies are more active in exercises compared to earlier
days where they were adviced to rest, rest, and just rest. Doctors and
specialists also agreed that appropriate exercises are good for women during
their pregnancy and labour.</span></div>

became my choice of exercise during my pregnancy. I feel good after my every

learn more in depth in this specific topic, in order to help myself during the
pregnancy journey and also my students' in future.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

having Kids Yoga classes for some time, it gives me a very "motherly"

benefits of Prenatal Yoga, safety of practice, what to-do and not to-do. We
also had practical / hands-on practice which includes Yoga poses (<i>asanas</i>),
breathing (<i>pranayama</i>), massage, adjustments on poses, partner yoga (to

"Changes in different trimesters" and "Teaching sequences for
different trimesters and for students with specific health condition". As
every pregnancy is different, every teacher has different styles and has
different students, the discussion sessions allow us to exchange ideas, and
learn from each others' experience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Many of them, our very own students from the get go (pre-baby bump!). We believe in a little 'cycle of life' so to speak. It's wonderful to see prenatal yoga students come back to do postnatal yoga! Their little ones eventually end up joining us for kids yoga as well! Motherhood is not an easy journey, we hope to if not guide you, but at least provide a soft cushioning along the ride.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, we had the opportunity to have a heart to heart session with one of our prenatal yoga students, Pauline Lee. We asked her to help us with our Prenatal Yoga Book and she agreed! She's such a good sport. This is how our little session went.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She oozed glowing confidence. She replied with a smile. She started yoga in 2010 after she came back from the Netherlands. She liked yoga because it had a calming effect and helped her find a sense of balance in life. It gave her, she said, awareness of 'living in the present moment' which is now her life philosophy and even business philosophy! Pauline informed us that she was an IT consultant for 8 years and that involved a lot of travelling. It was rewarding financially but she felt, what was important to her personally, at the end of the day was peace, calmness and happiness. As a consultant she uttered, the expectations placed on her were incredibly high. In a way, she was expected to know everything!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pauline continued by saying that, even when she became pregnant, she continued practicing yoga because that 'balance' was important to her. It was a natural and logical transition to continue with yoga when pregnant. She was actually practicing yoga elsewhere, but left to do prenatal yoga with us.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"> Infant
massage is a traditional art/skill passed down from generation to generation in
various cultures such as in India, Africa, and Asia. However, many younger
generations are unaware of infant massage and its benefits, or just don't have
the time and energy to spend with their precious child.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
In today’s urban, modern
society, the whole “working hours” are generally spent at work. Children are
left to provide for themselves under another woman’s care. Even housewives are
extremely busy running a home, doing housework and errands. It is not
surprising that most mothers feel that they have gone through a whole day
without some precious moments to spend bonding with their child.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Infant massage will be a
reason for you to have some dedicated bonding moments with your child. It’s
about time parents free themselves from the stresses of society and give
themselves permission to spend some quality, precious moments with their child
through infant massage. Infant massage is not just for mothers, fathers also
are highly encouraged to bond with their child by using this method. All you
need is a few minutes to focus on bonding with your child!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
This would be a beginning of a
healthy lifelong relationship which both parents and child desperately need.
The benefits of infant massage far outweigh the cost, and you must invest the
time for you and your child.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Infant massage offers a
wonderful experience to both parents and babies where a special time to
communicate (verbally and non-verbally) with their babies is created. This
communication makes babies feel loved, cherished and respected. Infant massage
also gives an opportunity to create a trusting, nurturing and healthy
relationship foundation with our children, which will enable them to be a
better generation of mothers and fathers themselves. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

I made my way to visit Josephine (or Jo as all of us at Surya Yoga studio affectionately call her) at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bondavilla/274574326041961">Bonda Villa</a>, this rather surprisingly homey confinement center in Kota Kemuning. <br /><br />In truth, the journey to Kota Kemuning from Aman Suria I thought would be difficult, but with my 'waze' on hand, I made the journey and arrived in one piece . This time, I arrived early and my first impression of Bonda Villa? - WHOAH... Nothing about this place screamed 'confinement'. It was this huge bungalow (but I feel I need to call it a mansion to do it justice) with a lovely manicured green lawn.<br /><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Lovely quiet location. It's located in a more private housing area.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
<br /><br />So, after I handed Jo a little congratulations card that everyone at Surya Yoga signed AND sat down on the comfy huge black sofa and asked her all about Bonda Villa and how they have been treating her. I made a few points below of what she expressed to me.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifNeIM888xiSyztJdwxCHqQVoy3B-OMJSaY8NQ4envjnDeEKTlBb8r4po1nhaCyN9SkE8hSTdvGctUq6RYS2WC1LZl_TslzhkOkpF1X2Q38gJLQ-dv_LZ2aVnazGXD8V0S0i6hQoPqwc0/s1600/DSC_6869.JPG"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEg2DVHQOgF88xF2LIiFjFKFOOutzqZQ5ed5CKpA4UeGOFcNvaIG5aLwtG0j67JtG6teQUV68Azu109qaBjQVuZEmEoRaWKuvyll2gd0X6IGL7YL1ymmCRhuQTEV0ZjrkP0yy_PI-AO2SCgpR5n0RaYmnfi8Nczc6sXmD9J-Jch2yVU_1ihPw6i3slzPD9U-W-KEkM81a_jKfp00aA4MY6CnnMMYoeUp0VeY0fIw3nFbI4q82o4mmrOoEcnppTeKCCaaOGGq5QVtrds3TeSh-cjDFjum6h5m2AWNcY6dz88PZvkUT-YWSFQKZYM64cPKDkWAquvnQO2dGJ9HwXg67KfoA1TesFLzUkB-MMvzHtmR81eADSzH5kPgQ9Q-j-8-b5qC6oTwp1QC0R_1QQ=s0-d-e1-ft" width="424" /></a></div>
<br /><i>Jo and Baby Jolie, both doing great (and paparappapa lovin' our card!) Note the McDonalds theme reference *grins*</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: orange;">Interesting stuff about Bonda Villa</span></b><br /> <br />Shirley and Christine (co-owners of Bonda Villa and their own unique line of prenatal/postnatal apparel, the first and original - <a href="http://www.maternitywearhouz.co/">WearHouz</a>) strongly advocate breast feeding. In fact Christine is also a dedicated breast feeding consultant and is always checking up on moms and their little ones in Bonda Villa.

<br />Not the conventional menu for moms in confinement BUT all ingredients are carefully chosen and picked - anything that will cause discomfort for moms are banned from the kitchen. They may be more conventional, but they hang on to the ones that truly are effective.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<br />The 8 moms at Bonda Villa eat their 5-6 meals together at the dining hall. Moms are definitely not confined to just their rooms.

<br />Two words - Organic. Food - These lucky mommies get the best of the best! They get beautiful 'hormone-free' organic food made with love by Shirley's very own sister. I was around the dining hall during lunch hour, and yes, I would compare Shirley's sister's cooking to a high class fusion restaurant. Even the 'plating' was beautiful! Attention to detail! Jo and all the moms get a set of organic goodies including toiletries when they first enter Bonda Villa. In my opinion, this might be the best welcome gift ever! <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Organic product are provided to mommy and baby here !</i></div>
<br /> <br />The lovely and also skilled and certified nurses are on 24 hours 'on call' care - for both mommy and baby. Even the use of diapers is a big no-no unless absolutely required. The use of cloth diapers is preferred - to me, I know them as 'kain lampin'.

Worthy of mention, Christine and Shirley's <a href="http://maternitywearhouz.co/">Wear Houz</a> apparel! Just a 'print screen' of their dress collection. Their versatile clothing is for all stages of pregnancy and even postnatal. Comfy, flow-ey, stretchable material with 'discreet access' for breast feeding. From pregnancy to project runway? Christine and Shirley come up with their own designs too!</div>
<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: orange;">How loving is the Bonda Villa team?</span></b><br /><br />Baby has rashes? Showing signs of eczema? Both Christine and Shirley and the team of nurses are right on it! Did I mention the 'emergency buttons' they have installed in the resident's rooms? Much like a hospital (or actually airplane flight as well), when the emergency or 'assist me' button is pressed, their room number/location is shown on this huge LED panel in the dining hall (followed by a 'ding ding ding' which I would compare to the usual shopping mall announcement music intro).</span><br />

<i>Mommy Jo and Baby Jolie (AND the comfy black sofa I was talking about)</i></div>
<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: orange;">Baby Jolie's little jaundice experience </span></b><br /><br /> So on with the story, on the fifth day, Jolie showed signs of jaundice. As any mom would be, even if jaundice is not uncommon, Jo panicked at the thought of baby Jolie having to stay in the hospital for photo therapy sessions. The hospital, surprisingly and conveniently nearby, has the machine for it. So there were plans to get baby Jolie to the hospital and Jo made plans with Christine and Shirley that they take her every 2 hours to the hospital for breastfeeding. Naturally not an enjoyable or comfortable experience for a mother in confinement.<br /><br />This is the part where Jo expressed with much gratitude and emotion that Christine and Shirley actually rented the photo therapy machine from the hospital for baby Jolie! Jolie didn't have to be admitted and Jo got to breastfeed Jolie every 2 hours and still get some well-deserved recuperation time! The nurses, certified and experienced had zero problems helping out with the photo therapy.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Something about the interior design feels 'just like home'</i></div>
<br /><br />The bungalow was very spacious and had this hint of 'traditional kampung nature' feel. Lots of nice dark wood around the rooms. Perhaps the term 'traditional kampung' may not sound appealing. Okay, I'll compare it to a fancy resort/spa feel. If you have a look at the list of services they provide, I guess I like the mix of modern and conventional feel to the place. Bonda Villa also provide post natal massages, mandi bunga baths and their intensive list of post natal service. <br /><br /><br /><b>Postpartum Depression?</b><br /><br /> Christine and Shirley brought it up in our little heart to heart conversation. Apparently mommies, especially those that have to go through confinement have a very high tendency to develop postpartum depression. It doesn't help that even sometimes, for those at other centers or decide to stay at home, can't get a long with their confinement lady. Sometimes wrong advice is give and wrong information is given too. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<i>O' sweet child of mine...</i></div>
<br />So the Bonda Villa dynamic duo has a super strong policy of always being around and available at Bonda Villa to lend a ear, shoulder and sometimes, a bowl of lovely desert to turn any frowns upside down. Bonda Villa has so many great activities for the 8 moms which keeps everyone pleasantly distracted and between the post natal massages, treatments and the every two hour breastfeeding, the moms really don't have the time to focus on any sadness brought upon by nasty changes in their hormone levels.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi there fellow moms-to-be. It's been awhile since my last post. I'm 7 months in now and I'm still out and about and you will still find me at the studio. Being pregnant and running your own business can be tricky and I'm slowly making it work. Part of why I've managed to maintain my general well being and emotional health is, to be honest, my frequent trips to my favorite and also conveniently close, facial and massage center. It's called Beauty Retreat. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have been to Surya Yoga, you'd know that Beauty Retreat is just beside Julliad Music School (which of course, is just to the left of us *smiles*). So give or take, 5 hops and tada! You are at Beauty Retreat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They give amazing prenatal massages! So I thought, why not share with everyone how I've managed to stay generally more energized and on my toes. I've made some research online and this is what information I've collected on prenatal massage.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>8 Top Benefits of Prenatal Massage</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It alleviates stress that our joints go through during pregnancy</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A remedy for common pregnancy discomforts including fatigue, lower back pain, stiffness, heartburn, vericose veins, nasal congestion and constipation. (the list is much longer, but I've listed out the more common discomforts)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Increases blood circulation, mobility and help remove toxins</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stabilizes hormone levels. Cortisol (stress related) decreases and Dopamine as well as Serotonin (keeps depression at bay) increases. The increase in these hormones relieves depression and anxiety.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Helps generate endorphins that help us feel more relaxed resulting in much better sleep</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Helps with maintaining good posture and blood pressure</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Massage is a natural, drug free, safer alternative for pain relief.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Easier delivery (I appreciate this the most, naturally)</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My visits to Beauty Retreat often involves me being propped to the side with pillows. Which brings me to my next little slice on info.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Things to consider BEFORE getting a prenatal massage</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mommies in their first trimester are generally not recommended to go for prenatal massage</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Avoid aromatherapy massages if possible (ask for non scented preferably)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Find a trained and qualified therapist (they will know which pressure points to avoid)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Always seek advice from your health care provider beforehand especially if you have any of the listed conditions: high risk pregnancy, Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH), preclampsia, previous pre-term labour, severe swelling or high blood pressure)</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In short, massage therapy when incorporated into routine prenatal care provides both emotional and physical health. I've spoken to the vibrant people at Beauty Retreat and they have decided to give mysuryayogababy blog readers a special promotion! 50% discount for face or body treatments. Terms and conditions apply (please fill in the special form below to get your voucher *smiles).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was delivering my first born, Jonathan at the time. My husband joined me in the delivery room to offer his support. You might find this rather funny (I do sometimes!), but the inspiration to start the couples prenatal yoga workshops at Surya Yoga was my loving husband! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the midst of all my painful contractions and determined focus, I realized that my husband was in a state of shock and was panicking, hiding himself behind a door! I could see how badly he wanted to help me but he just didn't know how. He grew awfully pale seeing me in pain. In fact, the doctor at the time was rather concerned over him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After giving birth to Jonathan (who is a now a vibrant little boy *smiles*), I decided that a couples prenatal workshop would actually prepare BOTH first time mom and dads for pregnancy and what to expect during labor. It would give them a rough idea on what to do and expect. More importantly, give first time dads a heads up on the stages of contractions and how to be of assistance during labor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So let me explain a few topics that we cover during the workshop.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Topics covered in Couples Prenatal Workshop at Surya Yoga:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Firstly, it's suitable for couples at any stage of pregnancy.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The workshop starts off with breathing exercises and yoga poses that will create and enhance the bond between dad, mom and the unborn baby. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then it's time for prenatal yoga couples poses where couples learn to stretch together. It's a great form of bonding and infectious fun. Couples learn how to work as a unit.</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The couples prenatal workshops conducted at Surya Yoga are unlike antenatal workshops offered in most hospitals. We focus more towards bonding, love and couple intimacy. We give guidance on how to better understand each other during pregnancy. We educate women on the changes their body will go through and how to enjoy the journey of pregnancy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been conducting these workshops at Surya Yoga for some years now. We have received many positive responses from our participants. It seems that my loving husband, despite his mild panic attack, paved the way for future dads to be more prepared and more informed. For time to time, my husband and I laugh over what happened. Safe to say, he will be my knight in shining armor and my rock the next time round!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Below are 10 tips or golden rules everyone should know before starting prenatal yoga </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Regular practice</b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Prenatal yoga can be practiced daily if you feel like it but it's vital not to over exert yourself.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Build it up slowly</b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Try start with 15 - 20 minutes minimum at least twice a week and build it up gradually.</span> </blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Gentle practice</b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do not practice yoga rigorously. If you have prior yoga experience, perform poses to about 70 % of your pre-pregnancy ability. Do make the relevant modifications as your body changes and get enough rest.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Breathe naturally</b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Focus on maintaining natural breathing throughout your practice. This helps to connect both mind and body resulting in increased awareness and intuition.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Breathe easily</b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ensure that you breathe easily and comfortably - enough to carry on a conversation.</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Do not overstretch</b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The hormone called relaxin increases during pregnancy helping ligaments loosen in preparation for child birth. Muscle does not have the same elasticity as ligaments and tendons. Do not overstretch because once relaxin leaves the body, it will be hard to regain your shape.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Be open minded and positive at all times. Motivate yourself to engage fully in your yoga session because the positive effects to both mind and body will be worth it.</span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1) Builds stamina, strength and emotional balance</b></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Prenatal yoga helps strengthen the hips, back, arms and shoulders. More stamina, energy and strength is needed as the baby grows within our body. Prenatal yoga makes us strong and helps when it comes to carrying the additional weight. As we get physically stronger, we also become more emotionally balanced. Through focus on breathing and holding each yoga pose, we will be less prone to being emotionally drained due to increases in progesterone and estrogen in our body.</span><br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Relieves tension and increases circulation</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With the increased size of our bellies, more stress is put upon the lower back, hips, chest, upper back, neck and shoulders. Our hips tighten up and we will have more of a lower back curve as the pressure of the baby's weight increases. Our upper back, neck, shoulders and chest also become tensed as our breasts become larger. Prenatal yoga helps relieve these specific muscle groups in our bodies as well as decrease swelling by increasing circulation within our joints and muscles.</span><br />

It helps connect us with the little one growing within us. Through breathwork and yoga poses, our body awareness increases. With every prenatal yoga practice, the intention is set in taking care of not only yourself, but of baby.</span></div>

Cleared up my stuffy nose and flu really well. I tend to lean towards natural remedies. If I can find a natural way to beat my pregnancy symptoms, I tend to go for it instead on relying on pharmacy prescriptions\solutions. So I've put together a little ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) info sheet on how it helps with pregnancy symptoms.</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My name is Josephine, most people call me Jo at Surya Yoga. It looks like you've stumbled upon my baby blog! I'm a prenatal yoga instructor and currently carrying my second child, I'm almost 4 months in and I'm really excited! I decided to start this blog to share with others, new mummies and mummies-to-be some of my humble personal experiences and this motherhood journey I'm currently on. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Me and my 3 month baby bump!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm planning on covering pregnancy topics from nourishing traditional Chinese herbal soup recipes right up to prenatal yoga tips (and much more in time!). I guess in a way, I'll blog as I go. Go where motherhood takes me, and sure enough! I'll blog about it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So yes, here goes my first blog post and I'd like to share with you an experience rather close to my heart. I was 32 weeks pregnant with my first child, Jonathan when one night, I had an awful migraine, my head just wouldn't stop pounding. I didn't think much of it, took some pain killers and went to bed. I woke up the next morning feeling rather odd. I realised that my face felt numb. Even putting on my everyday contact lens felt really difficult.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I consulted a general practitioner and he mentioned that it could be <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_palsy">Bell's Palsy</a>. I had no idea what that was at the time, reasonably so because after my research later on, Bell's palsy is extremely rare. In fact could even be one in a million - if it was pregnancy onset Bell's palsy. He referred me to a neurologist immediately. The neurologist explained that I had a swollen nerve at the side of my ear which is blocking impulses from reaching the brain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What is Bell's Palsy?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's a form of facial paralysis resulting from dysfunction of the cranial nerve causing the inability to control facial muscles on the affected side. I've read that it occurs 3.3 times more likely in pregnant women.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The neurologist prescribed me some vitamin B5 to strengthen the affected nerve and a course of steroids. I was okay with the vitamins (naturally), but taking steroids? Needless to say, I was shocked and extremely worried how it would affect my baby at the time but I didn't have a choice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a week of vitamin B5 and even steroids, I saw no improvement. I decided to seek out alternative medicine even. I tried acupuncture, crystal healing and even traditional massage and still, there was not much improvement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My gynaecologist at the time recommended that I see an ENT. He prescribed me an even stronger dose of steroids. I hit an all time low. I struggled. I really struggled. I couldn't smile, I couldn't express myself, I couldn't even speak clearly. I fell into a depression. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I kept to myself, I just stayed at home. I had no idea what I could do or who I could turn to for help. Worse of all, I felt helpless because I had no choice but to take medication and steroids to make things better, but at what cost? What if anything happened to my first born? I knew that pregnancy would be a challenge, but Bell's Palsy on top of that? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At that point in time, my world suddenly shrivelled up and felt awfully dark. I had no clue how things were going to pan out, how things would unfold. What if this was permanent?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I bit the bullet. I kept on with all my efforts, and thankfully, after 3 weeks I miraculously recovered 80%! You could hardly tell that I had Bell's Palsy! For 3 scary weeks I could only control half of my face. It took me 6 months after that to really truly recover. My speech improved and I no longer slurred my words. It was the most scariest experience of my entire life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Who could ever imagine getting Bell's Palsy due to pregnancy? High blood pressure maybe, but Bell's Palsy?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I gave birth to Jonathan, now a spirited little boy (who just can't wait for his little sister to come!), with little complication and I'm happy to say that in all, it was a scary experience but one that made me believe a little more in happy endings and miracles.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This blog post was written early 2013 for our first Surya Yoga blog - Walking on Sunshine. Since we have decided to open a separate blog just for prenatal yoga, I'd like to share this old blog post with you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
:</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">This was a last minute trip. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">I packed my luggage bag in a hurry and sped directly off to LCCT to catch my overnight Air Asia flight to Gold Coast, Australia. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A very good friend of mine, and also an instructor at Surya Yoga named <a href="http://mysuryayoga.blogspot.com/2012/12/susan.html">Susan</a> planned this trip with me and we were both incredibly excited about attending this <a href="http://www.byronyoga.com/prenatal-yoga-teacher-training-weekend-intensive">prenatal yoga teacher's training program </a>in Byron Bay arranged by <a href="http://www.byronyoga.com/">Purna Yoga</a>. We have been waiting for this particular teacher training program for quite sometime now, so when the opportunity came, we took it! We had no doubts about it! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've been teaching prenatal yoga at Surya Yoga for many years. This was definitely an ideal opportunity to keep my skills up to date and to get in touch with the yoga community in Australia. </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Click and have a look at the course structure</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I took my seat on the plane, and as the plane starting to take off, I closed my eyes and just emptied my mind. I love airplane rides. There is something about being on a journey that calms me. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We reached Coolangatta at 7am Australian time. To both me and Susan's surprise, my uncle and aunty came to see us! My uncle and aunty have been living in Australia for a number of years. I had much intention to visit them during this trip, but they beat me to it! Bright and early, they came and waited for us at the arrivals. My strong and sturdy 84 year old uncle's smile and warm hugs immediately made my heart melt. Aunty even packed us some food thinking that we didn't get to eat on our Air Asia flight! I haven't seen them for some time, so this was a really pleasant surprise.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Uncle and aunty gave us instructions on how to get to Byron Bay, the place where the teacher's training was located. With full tummies and high spirits, we took a shuttle bus to Byron Bay. Have I mentioned the rainy weather? According to the Australian news, the heavy nonstop downpour was a freak occurrence. It hasn't rained this hard and this long for the past 20 years! We didn't let this dampen our spirits though.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Comfy accommodations</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We reached the accommodations arranged by Purna Yoga within an hour. Purna Yoga often has teacher trainings throughout the year for other specializations. Our first class started at 4 pm that day. We were late 1 hour for the class! We had no clue that it was daylight savings time! It took us about 20 minutes to walk to the studio from the place that we stayed. I thoroughly enjoyed walking in the drizzle with Susan. Safe to say, I felt rather happy. Something as simple as walking in the rain with a dear friend surprisingly brought me much joy.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That first class, <a href="http://www.anadavis.com/">Ana Davis</a> taught us how to adjust postures and positions. The next morning, class started at 8 am. Day two's class was taught by <a href="http://www.byronyoga.com/stars-story-journey-through-darkness">Star Rumble</a>. She taught us about the benefits as well as contradictions of certain poses according to each trimester. I felt much awe and admiration for these teachers! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After Star's informative session, we headed straight to Purna Yoga's little dining hall for lunch. We had a lovely vegan lunch that set us back $20 Aussie dollars, but every penny was worth it! Day 2 ended at 6pm. A classmate dropped me and Susan off to town. We walked about and had dinner. It was really scrumptious! We both had a lovely time just walking about soaking in the atmosphere.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Day 3 was taught by <a href="http://www.daogandantra.com/yoga/rosie-bio/">Rosie Matheson</a>. She taught us poses using props and how to connect with the baby. We then has a really yummy pumpkin soup lunch with a side salad. Lunch was followed by a little graduation ceremony and we were handed certificates.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There were very few Asians that attended this particular teacher's training. There were the two of us from Malaysia, and another two ladies from Jakarta and Japan. True to what they say, Australians are extremely friendly and open. Most of them were surprised that we traveled this far for the course. I feel really blessed to be there among the other dedicated yoga instructors. I could really feel the passion and as what they say, the love.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How will my prenatal class sessions be different after my little trip with Susan? I intend to focus more on building a connection between mother and baby. I will also teach new modified poses to help make mothers feel safe and aid them in the birthing process.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My trip ended with a final visit from my uncle and aunty. They both truly are very sweet and loving. I feel really touched at how much they care for me! Overall, it was a wonderful experience. One that I will never forget! Definitely more yoga trips in future. I don't think I'll ever lose that yearning to constantly learn new things. Shouldn't we all flow with the times?</span></div>
