PRENATAL ALIGNMENT
YOGA COURSE
For a safe and healthy Yoga practice during pregnancy
- During pregnancy the body of a woman has to go through an incredible number of changes to adapt to the growing new life. In fact, the body of a pregnant woman changes 3 times during pregnancy!
- These changes affect the curves of your spine, your balance and how you walk. Doing Yoga is ideal during pregnancy, it will help your body to adjust better and will also support you on a mental and emotional level.
- However, not every Yoga posture is safe to practice once you are pregnant and the rules keep changing from trimester to trimester. It is therefore important, that you are practicing under the guidance of experienced professionals.

Hi, I am Tanja Lenger Mascarenhas. I practice Yoga since 1997 and after working in the financial industry for several years, i started my own business as a yoga teacher in 2011 and have been a full-time yoga teacher ever since.
I am a certified yoga therapist in Switzerland, specialized in Alignment Yoga and co-owner of the yoga place, gmbh. Alignment Yoga is a Yoga style that focuses on the correct alignment of the body in each yoga posture in respect to the person's individual anatomy.

What is Alignment Yoga?
Alignment Yoga is a style of yoga that respects your individual anatomy and any weak points in the body, thus avoiding yoga injuries. The yoga postures are held for longer periods of time to allow the effects of each exercise to develop in the body. We use yoga props. Props not only support the body, they also allow us to experience the yoga postures on a deeper level.
Do I need yoga props for the class?
What is highly recommended besides the yoga mat is a yoga belt, two yoga blocks and a blanket. A yoga bolster does not have to be, but is certainly a good investment, but the backrest of your sofa or the breastfeeding cushion will help as a substitute.
