The Sacred Window of Pregnancy, Birthing and Post-Natal through Ayurveda
With Victoria (Tory) Hyndman
01 December 2018
"Forty-two days for forty-two years" is a saying in Ayurveda meaning the food and lifestyle choices a new mother makes from the moment of giving birth to forty-two days (six weeks) after, will affect her next forty-two years physically, mentally and emotionally. This illustrates the importance of that beautiful and precious window that is the post-natal period. We can either bring ourselves even more out of balance, or, by making simple food and lifestyle choices we can use those six weeks as a magical window to rejuvenate ourselves, making new mommy and baby both happy! This workshop is for pregnant women, ideally in their second or third trimesters. It will help them prepare physically and mentally for birthing and the post-natal period. Tory will also share some golden tips that have helped her during pregnancy and birthing. Partners are welcome to join, free of charge.
