Learn about how the 3Rs (Rhythm, Ritual and Relaxation) can help support your labor!
A brief overview of the Stages/Phases of labor, particularly as they relate to movement and techniques to promote ease during birth.
Squats are the most physiologically efficient position for labor, encouraging the hips to open and allowing gravity to help. Squats can increase the efficiency of contractions and shorten labor. We'll explore a few different options to see what feels best in your body.
Asymmetrical positions are another great way to open the pelvis and help baby snuggle down. You'll get to try a few examples.
Forward leaning positions can help with back pain and encourage babies in to a more optimal position. The Birth ball is a great tool to optimize baby's position, help with low back pain, and provide more comfortable positioning.
The presence and participation of a birth partner can have an enormous impact on a mother’s satisfaction with her birth experience. Through partner yoga postures, breathwork, massage, and other comfort techniques, this workshop will give partners tools to confidently support their lovely mommas-to-be. Connecting with our partners during this deeply important transitional time, this hands-on exploration will help to open up a new way of looking at the process of labor. With an emphasis on a practical approach to helping labor progress more smoothly, we will workshop breathing techniques, intuitive touch for partners, as well as positions for labor to help manage pain and cultivate a relaxed state during birth.
This workshop is open to pregnant people at any stage of pregnancy and their birth partner. *No experience necessary*
