About Birthlight
Birthlight GmbH was founded in 2007 with the aim of offering a holistic form of support to expectant mothers during pregnancy, childbirth and the first years of their relationship with their child through yoga and related therapies. We have supplemented the offer with courses for women at all stages of life.
The work on the body and breathing has a stabilizing effect on the emotions: We become more calm, concentrated and relaxed. Negative thoughts and emotions we learn to recognize and fend off and to accept present changes more easily. Yoga exercises usually follow a holistic approach, which should bring body, mind and soul into harmony. On a physical level, yoga increases strength and flexibility with respect to the individual body structure. Tension is released and pain is relieved, which leads to more conscious breathing. Our body absorbs oxygen better and the energy potential, to which health, vitality and well-being are bound, is increased.
Birthlight is inspired by anthropologist Françoise Barbira Freedman.
Inspired by the people of Amazonia and their gentle way of raising children, Françoise Barbira Freedman has dedicated her life to developing safe exercises for the prenatal period. Her teaching is based on classical yoga, which she has adapted to the needs of women in this phase of life, and on a broad knowledge of anatomy and physiology as well as solid scientific research. Both the emotional and spiritual aspects of the perinatal phase are considered.
We look forward to welcoming you!
