​A hands-on workshop designed to help you feel prepared and confident about the experience of working together during labour, and the birth of your baby.

During this fun, relaxed afternoon, you will actively explore and experience various movements, positions and props to see how they work in practice and discover what might be useful for you. It is also a wonderful opportunity to meet other local new parents-to-be. 

This workshop is suitable for all, regardless of yoga experience or whether you have attended Michele or Hana’s pregnancy yoga classes.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Helpful positions for each stage of labour and the birth
  • Active birthing practices and coping strategies
  • Use of props such as birthing balls, chairs, the wall, and rebozo scarves
  • Breathing techniques for labour and birth
  • Partner massage
  • Affirmations and visualisation techniques for labour and birth
  • Deep relaxation to end the session.

WHAT TO BRING

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothes (both of you!) that you can easily move around in.   Sweatpants (the ‘non-swishy’ kind) are ideal, and be prepared to go barefoot
  • You may want to bring a water bottle with you. It is also fine to bring hot drinks into the studio as long as they are in a takeaway cup with a lid, or a flask type-thing
  • You will get a pack full of handouts however please also bring a notebook and pen to write down any additional notes
  • All yoga equipment is there but feel free to bring any of your own things if you wish.
