Prenatal Partner Yoga is the fun practice of exploring many different yoga postures done in physical contact with another person. My students experience a deeper sense of release and stretching through sharing weight and touch with their partners. This style of yoga practice helps you develop a strong feeling of connection with your baby and partner both on and off your mat. No prior yoga experience necessary.
Some of the benefits include:
* An increase in body awareness and ability to breathe through the
moment.
* Helps increase confidence in birth partners and their ability to
support the birthing mom.
* Partner assists allow for deeper release and organization in yoga
poses, allowing for more effective relief from common issues that
arise in the pregnant body such as back pain, sciatica, leg cramps,
leg swelling, acid reflux, exhaustion, stiff muscles, and/or
insomnia.
* Explores touch as a gateway of the focus to move away from the mind (where fear resides) and into embodied presence.
* Releases oxytocin, which assists in shifting out of fight/flight mode and into the parasympathetic mode, thus increasing feelings of safety, relaxation, pleasure, and connection.
* Brings awareness to multiple areas of the body at once, helping
to diffuse mental tension and refresh the nervous system.
* Allows for increased attention, insight, compassion, and gentle
encouragement from the helping partner, which often allows the
person performing the asana to feel safe to go deeper, gain new
understanding on their alignment, or be able to experience subtle
but key actions in the pose.
* Creates a fun, expressive experience of unity and trust between
partners, and creates a nurturing time and space to connect with
your new baby.
Come learn techniques for breath awareness, massage, and partner
poses, which can help strengthen and relax your body and soothe
your mind during the process. This prenatal partner yoga workshop
is for those pregnant and their partner/husband/friend during
pregnancy.
Practicing yoga poses and breathing can greatly improve your
physical, emotional and spiritual- being. When practiced with a
loving partner you can both grow together creating deeper mutual
care, trust and family bonding. This will help both of you with
your pregnancy, the labor process and parenthood. We will do poses
individually and as couples. This class will be taught at a level
that will be comfortable for all participants.
Pre-registration required. Minimum registration required for workshop to run.
Registration Fee $115, includes the pregnant person and partner.
*This registration is for in person participation, this workshop is not offered virtually. 7f2 hour cancellation policy applies.

A Childbirth Education Class can help prepare expectant parents and their support person for the changes that occur during pregnancy and childbirth. Being prepared and having a plan for how you will approach this very important time can help you create a positive labor and birthing experience.
Some of the benefits of a Childbirth Class are:
... Become informed on what to expect in labor and birth
... Learn about the different labor interventions used and your options
... Learn how to support and comfort the laboring parent
... Learn different pain management and comfort techniques including breathing, massage, visualization, and positioning
... Address fears and get answers to your questions
... Create a birth preferences list using the information you have learned
... Learn the basics of breastfeeding and postpartum care
The time spent in class will not only educate pregnant parents and their support person, it will also bring them closer, helping them become more connected and confident in their decisions while understanding each other’s roles. This valuable class covers a great deal of information and many of our parents connect with other parents to be, creating lasting friendships. I hope to help you experience a supported and prepared entry to birth and beyond.

In this workshop we work on supporting new parents in their transition to parenthood, welcoming infants from birth to four months of age.
