The inspiration for Birthlight Yoga – aimed at the greater enjoyment of pregnancy, birth and babies – comes from Peruvian rainforest communities, where Francoise Freedman, the founder of Birthlight, conducted her anthropology fieldwork for Cambridge University. With specific adaptations for posture alignment during pregnancy, birth and beyond, Birthlight perinatal yoga and rebozo practices help to promote a gentle yet efficient toning of abdominal and lower back muscles, including the pelvic floor.
