Prenatal
Yoga classes provide
an opportunity for expectant women to develop greater vitality and
awareness of their body that is home for two, as well as to deepen
their relationship with their baby. Gentle postures, breath work, vocal
toning and meditation are learned to cultivate flexibility, calm and
confidence in preparation for labor and childbirth. Women are empowered
to enhance their ability to access greater relaxation, comfort, and
enjoyment. Calm and flexibility ease the birthing process, thus
reducing pain and increasing the joy of giving birth. With Pregnancy
Yoga, women prepare for as active, normal and natural a birth as
possible.
Couples
Birth Preparation
provides an opportunity for couples together to enhance awareness of
and confidence in pregnancy, labor and birth. Through discussion,
gentle postures, breath work, vocal toning, meditation and massage,
couples cultivate greater relaxation, understanding and enjoyment for
childbearing. Couples practice postures together that are both
beneficial and enjoyable during pregnancy and during labor. Partners
feel more connected to the unborn baby. The presence and encouragement
of a woman's partner is a powerful aid to labor and delivery. Partners
develop greater understanding to support the birthing mom with
confidence and sensitivity
