Please complete the "call-back" form opposite to enquire about bookings.
These sessions are designed to provide the pregnant woman and her birthing partner with a simple but complete yogic approach to the experience of late pregnancy, labour and birth. Women attend together with whoever they are planning to have with them during labour, including mothers and partners.
Topics covered include:
-
physiological process of labour, teaching specific, simple and accessible yoga practices to assist at each stage.
-
optimal foetal positioning and the value of posture in late pregnancy.
-
mapping the bony pelvis which empowers the woman to understand her own body shape in preparation for birthing her baby.
-
birthing positions.
-
massage techniques for pregnancy and labour.
-
mental and emotional preparedness for birth.
-
breath and movement in labour for energy and pain management.
-
physical and emotional support for the labouring woman.
-
top tips for birthing partners.
-
visualisation and relaxation techniques to promote gentle birth.
-
The workshop ends with a deep relaxation practice that assists in the integration of the techniques taught, and students receive information sheets covering the practices involved in the workshop. Following this there is an opportunity for discussion with any questions that may need to be answered over tea and biscuits.
The rehearsals offer practical skills to help you and your birth partner birth your baby:
-
How will I know when I am / she is really in labour?
-
How will I cope with pain?
-
How can I help my partner cope with pain?
-
How can my partner help?
-
What birthing positions work best?
-
How can we keep calm during the birth?
A yoga birth rehearsal offers answers to all these questions. The one-off session follows the progress of physiological birth.
It is a relaxed, effective way to learn practical coping skills for birth.
At each stage of the birthing process, you learn simple breathing, movement, posture and visualisations to ease the birth of your baby.
You also cover the positioning and experience of your baby during birth, the role of the supportive birthing partner, and birthing positions.
The session works best when the pregnant woman is accompanied by her birthing partner, because then the partner can learn practical pain relief techniques as well as the breathing and movements which the woman hopes to use during the birth.
