Rebozo techniques

rebozo hammock supportRebozo techniques can be used during pregnancy, labour, birth, the post-natal period, during menstruation, and in fact at any time you need comfort. A special way of supporting a woman during her pregnancy, labour and birth, is to use the rebozo shawl in different techniques to relieve discomforts and aid labour.

Rebozo is a traditional Mexican cloth, used by women and worn in various ways, as shade from the sun, or as an accessory. It can also be used by mothers-to-be to relieve pregnancy discomforts, give support, and bring a feeling of nurture to the body as it is wrapped closely.

In our partner pregnancy yoga for labour and birth class we use several of the pregnancy techniques using both traditional rebozo, and long, wide scarves. A large sarong will also be appropriate in pregnancy, if it is mens replica rolex sea dweller strong and not at all floaty.

Rebozo is very useful post-pregnancy, both to carry the baby close to Mum (in the fourth trimester) and for ‘closing the bones’ after birth.
