Description
Our 6 week Prenatal Yoga Series is a nurturing and empowering journey designed to support parents-to-be on their path towards labour, birth, postpartum, and motherhood.

Our 90 minute classes are guided by a birth and postpartum doula, where each session includes a 30 minute discussion on various topics to support participants in their birth, postpartum and parenting preparation. These empowering discussions will cover topics such as effective birth preparation, physiology of birth, positions for labour and delivery, comfort measures during labour, informed consent, self-advocacy, and a wealth of other valuable resources. .

The yoga practices will provide a safe space to connect with and honour your body, mind, and soul. You will build strength and flexibility, optimize pelvic health, ease tensions and discomfort of pregnancy, and explore positions and mindfulness techniques for labour and birth.

This is an inclusive, compassionate, non judgmental space to explore yourself and connect with other parents-to-be.

Prepare your mind and body for the beautiful journey of parenthood with this Prenatal Yoga Series that prioritizes your well-being and celebrates the miraculous experience of bringing new life into the world. Join us on the mat as we create a space for peace, connection, and self-care during this precious time.
