Childbirth Education Workshop

This practical childbirth education course will teach you and your partner various tools and techniques to help you through labor and delivery from a yoga perspective. We will cover the stages of labour, and discuss hormones involved in labour, the physiology of pain and ways to optimize nervous system regulation. We will learn visualizations, meditation, mantras and pranayamas (focused yogic breathing) used to reduce fear and anxiety in birth by promoting relaxation.   We will also learn gentle yoga asanas and movements with the support of a birthing ball to reduce pain and enhance progress in labor. Partners will learn hands on techniques including massage, acupressure and counter pressures along with positive affirmations that will help the mama to feel fully supported during labor.
