Yoga for the pregnant women in Luxembourg
A great way to stay healthy and self-care during pregnancy is yoga. It can help you cope with the physical and emotional changes that come with this special time. Yoga can also prepare the body and mind for labor and delivery by strengthening your muscles, improving your flexibility, and enhancing your breathing.
However, not all yoga poses are suitable for pregnant women, so it is important to consult your doctor before starting any yoga practice. You should also look for prenatal yoga classes in Luxembourg that are designed specifically for pregnant women. We can help you with this.

Non-ordinary yoga
If you are looking for something different and fun to spice up your yoga practice, you might want to try some non-ordinary yoga styles. These are yoga classes and workshops in the country that involve some unusual or creative elements, such as hammocks, heat, or music.
Here we will take a look at some examples of non-ordinary practices that you can find in yoga studios around Luxembourg. You don't have to master the usual ways to do yoga in order to try something extraordinary!
Yoga in hammocks is suitable for all levels and ages, as you can adjust the height and intensity of the hammock according to your needs. There is a special studio in Luxembourg — AeroYoga — that offers classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners, as well as workshops and private training.
This style is getting more and more popular, especially as it gives deeper relaxation when using hammocks: the comfortability of the textile allows longer sitting and keeping of the asanas even if you do not have the best physical stamina. Prices for classes are slightly higher, but you don't need to buy a mat at least!
