“I still don’t understand how I am going to get this baby out of my body!” -birthing people everywhere

Pushing can be the most dramatic phase of childbirth but often comes without instructions, even in long form childbirth classes (there is never enough time!).

This 2-hour class will help you stack the cards in your favour in order to reduce the length of time spent pushing, reduce the risk of tearing during delivery, and prepare you for postpartum pelvic floor recovery.

We will start with anatomy and walk you through the bony pelvis, pelvic floor muscles, fetal alignment, and breathing techniques so you can understand the physiology of pushing. You will practice pelvic floor contractions and relaxation, as well as various pushing positions to help train your body for the main event. Class is relevant and important for those planning a medicated or unmedicated birth! 

What's Covered:

• The anatomy of and connection between our posture and alignment, including bony pelvis, pelvic floor muscles and baby's positions/fetal alignment.
• The benefits of and options around prenatal body work.
• Breathing techniques so you can understand the physiology of pushing.
• You will practice pelvic floor contractions and relaxation.
• Various pushing positions to helpm train your body for the main event.

When: Sunday June 8th 9:30am - 11:30am

Your prenatal body is unique and changing at it’s own pace. Private classes offer students a bespoke session designed to address your specific needs.

Private classes may be for you if: You are new to the practice and would like an introduction to yoga, are a practiced student and would like to deepen your understanding of modifications during pregnancy, are working with an injury or other physical barrier that keep you from group classes, or you would like to create a home practice that you can do on your own schedule.

Location:
Private classes can take place at your place of work, a rented studio space, or in your home. The space should be tidy and allow room for movement and full body extension. Babies are always welcome.

Length of Class:
Classes are 60 min in length. Please allow extra time for the first class.

Props:
Prenatal yoga benefits from having the support of props, many of which can be used in labour! I will bring props to the first session but your home practice will benefit from habing: 2x yoga blocks (foam or cork), 1x yoga belt, 2-3 heavy blankets or 1 bolster and 1 blanket *students must provide their own mat.

The term “Holding Space” is defined in Amy Wright Glenn’s book Holding Space ~ On Loving, Dying, and Letting Go as the practice of showing up with a compassionate presence to life as it arises, especially when it arises with difficulty and loss.

In any part of life, but especially in grief, we can all benefit from multiple circles of support. This consultation offers one approach to holding space wherein I listen and affirm your inner knowing/wisdom.

In this 50 min session I am committed to using every moment of our time together to offer undivided support as you share stories, express emotions, and make meaning of what is going on for you right now. This means I will do a lot of listening. At times there may even be quality moments of silence ~ and I welcome you to breathe through those times knowing I hold them in peace.

As you may be aware, there are many other approaches, including those that are more change-oriented in terms of offering therapeutic tools for transforming behaviors, addictions, and personal challenges. These may be more appropriate for you and I am happy to offer resources for you to consider in this instance.

Cost: $45 CAD for 50 mins

Are you looking for a different style of childbirth education? One that covers the physiology of birth as well as the inner and emotional journey of pregnancy and childbirth? One that teaches you about medicated, unmedicated, and surgical birth as well as exploring your fears, desires, and rituals of honouring your transformation into parenthood?

In these workshops pregnant families will be guided through various topics relating to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. They will learn about childbirth, explore pain coping and mindfulness techniques, as well as explore their inner landscpae using birth art, visualization, and meditation. They will discover their baseline for pain coping, and walk away with tools that they can utilise in childbirth, whether that me medicated or unmedicated.

Parents will also explore the journey into birth and the return to self postpartum. Here are some topics that can be covered.

Dates: TBC
