Esferodinamia: a way to move through pregnancy
Esferodinamia: Weekly movement classes in Luxembourg for pregnancy, to move and connect with your body and your baby.
A technique to help you move and connect
During the spring I was lucky to be able to take a training that I had been wanted to take for a long time, and I became an Esferodinamia Instructor for Pregnancy, Birth and Postpartum. Esferodinamia is a technique in which one move (dynamis) with the help of big balls (sphaerae) and other elements such as smaller balls, suspensions and chairs or barres.
Classes, particularly during pregnancy, are much more than a workout: they are meant to help women reconnect with their bodies, acknowledge and celebrate its changes, and connect with their babies as well. During the classes, women feel supported physically by the big balls, but also mentally and emotionally by the instructor and other women, and together they navigate their pregnancies and prepare for their births.
Main features & benefits of this technique
The most characteristic feature of the classes are, of course, the balls. It is an element that will help you feel safe and supported through the movements. It provides an active and relaxed support for your body, and will be a tool to make space and release the joints and tissues that get overstrained during pregnancy.
Concretely, on the classes we will:
- Tone and stretch the muscles, particularly those involved in supporting the growing womb and those necessary for birth
- Work on our breathing, to better oxygenate both mother and baby, deepen the breath, and make room for our baby thanks to exercises directed to the diafragm
- Work on the mobility and relaxation of the spine, to improve the possibilities of movement and confort
- Recognize and move the pelvis and the pelvic floor, to prepare for birth and get relief for many frequent discomforts
The classes – coming soon!
The classes are held in small groups, and their main goal is for you to be able to move confidently through your pregnancy and towards your birth. This statement means to be true physically, but also mentally and emotionally. During the classes everyone will get a chance to share and ask questions, and connect with other pregnant mothers.
I will start teaching this classes weekly from September 2023. I will share more details towards the end of the summer, but in the meantime, if you are interested in attending, keep tuned! You are also welcome to drop me a line and I’ll put you on the email list so you will be the first one to know when registrations are open!
