This class is for pregnant women and their partners or birth partners. This is a short workshop of 6 hours. I concentrate on the positive experience of birth and suggest ways in which you can achieve this.
The following subjects are covered:-
breathing practice "birth plan" ways a partner can support self-help for "hitches" in the birth using a birth ball massage water pool homeopathy
The course as a whole is aimed to increase your confidence in the birth process. Use of slides, discussion, handouts and exercises make it an enjoyable and useful course. The course has been designed to be part of the preparation for women already attending Yoga Birth pregnancy classes. It is a chance for partners to learn more about the kind of thing we do at yoga, for you both to understand the ideas and reasons behind Active Birth and to share the preparations for the birth. However it is also open to you if you have not been attending yoga.
If the dates do not suit you we can arrange for a two hour individual session focusing on your own particular concerns. I regret that I do not run these workshops in Bromley, only in Canterbury.
