Srilakshmi and Anand, second time parents, quotes
“The confusion in our mind about bonding was cleared, when we came to know that we could connect with our baby. As a couple, we connected with the baby and felt extremely blissful. We also got to know about the emotional changes that happen during pregnancy. Fear was always there in mind, but overcame it to explore and enjoy the pregnancy through the program. From the labor session we acquired details that need to be taken care of immediately after delivery.”

“After joining the janani program we came to know that by regular practice of yogas and pranayamas we will have a balance in our body, be flexible and feel fresh. Also the mother's emotions have a direct impact on the baby. The last session, labor session, emphasized on how to remain stress free for normal labor to settle."

Sneha, first time mother, quotes
“The program has helped me to be emotionally stronger. Felt relaxed after every meditation session. It was an amazing experience as I was relaxing and also came to know the methods adopted for communicating with the baby. I hope if I continue the preparatory exercises that was taught, my body would be flexible. I was emotionally and spiritually connected with my baby and was very informative. All the physical exercises were good and felt relaxed. I could realize my roles and responsibilities and was very useful and helpful. How my strengths could overcome my weaknesses during labor was empowered in the labor session. After joining the program, I am able to bond with all the members in the family. Each and every session was an eye opening session."

Kavitha, second time mother, quotes
“After joining I came to know how the mother can bond with the 1^st child and the unborn 2^nd child, the changes that I need to do for this. I was relaxed after the yogasanas were practiced. Not aware of the spiritual connection between a mother and a baby, which was a triggering session, which no one would ever think of? What is the best thing I need to do so that the unborn child imbibes all the good qualities from its parents? How the labor could be made positive, the things I need to do when I am in labor. How yoga, pranayama and meditation has helped me to be calm and relaxed.”

Saijanani and Vishnu, first time parents,quotes
“Fear was always there on everything I do, be it the way I walk, the yoga postures etc. but has reduced after joining the program. How to keep myself relaxed. As a couple we enjoyed the session wherein the spiritual connection was said, as we were not aware of it. The pranayamas has helped me to clear my nose block."
