Breathing and moving for birth
As an experienced doula, birth prep and perinatal yoga teacher, I am really passionate about helping families experience a calm and confident birth. This workshop is ideal for those in the second or third trimester, and covers a range of topics surrounding the breath and movement to support birth. This is for you to attend with your birth partner, or you're welcome to come on your own too. If you're planning a vaginal birth, this workshop will provide you with tips, information, space to practise techniques, and ask any questions you may have. Numbers are limited to ensure a personal approach.
We will look at:
- How birth works, the stages of birth, what supports and hinders this, your amazing pelvis and how we can support baby's journey through it
- Exploring movement and positions for labour, using different props (with the optional help of your partner)
- Breathing for birth, including the key breathing techniques that can support you in pregnancy and labour, exploring these and relating them to the stages of birth
- How to support movement and birth with induction, an epidural, and continuous monitoring etc.
Teas and coffees (and cake!) provided too.
Next events: Saturday 14th Sept & 16th Nov, 2.15-3.45pm at Berry Farm (south cerney, near swindon/cirencester)
