Yoga of Birth Workshops
The Yoga of Birth Workshops bring women together in a supportive circle to talk about birth in a real and empowering way. These workshops aim to inform and inspire women so that giving birth can be a meaningful and joyful part of women’s life journey.
Yoga of Birth Workshop Part 1: Preparation
This workshop is useful for women in the first or second trimester to give women time to prepare – but women in any stage can come.
An empowered birth needs preparation. Through yoga, meditation, information-sharing, writing activities and discussion women will explore their own answers to the many questions that pregnancy raises. This workshop is a thorough exploration of the physical, mental and emotional preparation needed before the birth. In this informative workshop you will:
• Create your own personal vision of the birth
• Learn practical strategies to have the birth you want
• Explore your choices about where to have your baby
• Explore how to find the right support team for the birth
• Learn how to get the best of a natural birthing approach and medical approach
• Explore ways to prepare emotionally for birth, including experiencing a deep guided meditation exploring fears around birth and how to deepen your trust in the birthing process.
• Be inspired to celebrate your pregnancy as a special rite of passage.
• Take home simple yoga sequences designed to prepare the body for birth.
Yoga of Birth Workshop Part2: Strength & Surrender
A powerful and inspiring workshop designed for women in the third trimester. This will be an experiential exploration of how to birth from within, using the tools of yoga and meditation. This workshop generates positive birthing energy to inspire women to give birth with confidence.
In this workshop you will:
• Explore yoga and meditation practices using birth as a theme throughout, to really get into the feel of birthing from within.
• Learn about the stages of labour and how yoga and meditation help women in each stage to have a natural and empowered birth.
• Explore natural ways to embrace the intensity and pain of birth.
• Explore meditation as a powerful tool to accept and embrace the birthing process.
• Receive emotional support and inspiration in these last weeks before the birth. This will include a long guided meditation imagining a natural, empowered and joyful birth – a very positive and powerful practice just before birth!
