Yoga for Active Birth

Learn and practice positions and breathing for an Active Birth.  You will look at which positions help the baby come into the right position, open the pelvis and reduce the risk of tearing.  Learn how yogic breathing can be used during labour to calm the body, focus the mind and help your body release maximum labour hormones – for a more efficient, less painful and even safer birth for you and your baby.

Natural Birth Intensive

Saturday June 30th, September 8th OR November 17th

Learn the true nature of natural birth, how the media creates unnecessary fear and what women who have ecstatic births do (and don’t do!)  You will discover the physiological benefits for mum, baby and family and come to understand the importance of protecting the women’s emotional state and how best to support her.

VBAC Preparation

Friday July 6th, 7.30-9.30pm

Previous Caesarean?  Preparing for next baby?  Regaining confidence in yourself, your body, your partner and your support is the key to a successful VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Caesarean).  In this course, we will educate, inspire, empower and support you and your partner through the process of preparing for your next birth – new baby, new pregnancy, new state of mind.  Many women have a successful VBAC s with the right preparation and support – so why can’t you?

Avoiding Unnecessary Intervention

Saturday May 12th, July 28th, October 6th OR December 15th

Become proactive about your health and your baby’s health so that you can  significantly reduce being caught up by the ‘Cascade of Intervention’.  Why do so many women experience medical interventions?  According to Amnesty International, the two main reasons are because Women are not explained properly the risks of induction and caesarean. Come along to learn more about medical interventions offered, discover how one leads to the other, and learn about non-invasive alternatives for inducing labour, turning babies,  pain relief and many other ailments that can effect your birth experience.

Baby in the First Weeks

Saturday May 26th, August 11th, October 20th OR December 22nd

Understand what happens immediately after birth.  Discover the secrets to easier breastfeeding and a calm and settled baby.  Babies are often over-stimulated during and after birth causing feeding and settling problems.  Learn why many cultures practice a ‘confinement period’ and how this will help you to be more in tune with both yours and your baby’s cues and needs and help for a quicker recovery.

Birth Trauma Debrief

Talking through your previous birth experience with someone who understand birth and it’s impact on your life.

We will help you to:

• understand what happened in your previous birth
• release and integrate your feelings about your experience
• find clarity and confidence in your body
• ignite and harness your inner strengths

“This was the best experience that we have had.  Loved the classes.”  Zuhra & Mustafa

“(We most enjoyed) the thorough explanations and new ideas that I hadn’t read elsewhere.”  Helen & John

“(Learnign about) the confinement period is a relief, (I am now) feeling OK to hold the baby a lot.”  Dana & Peter

“My husband and I attended your Yoga for Active Birth and Natural Birth Intensive classes and we were amazed, we already had 2 children but there was so much we never knew! I thoroughly enjoyed your prenatal yoga classes, so much so that I bought the DVD and continued doing it at home. We also really appreciated you lending us the dvd of your VBAC, it was very inspiring. Your influence was a key contribution to our successful home birth after 2 c-sections and I want to thank you for being who you are and making us believe we could do this.”  Kelly & Mark
