Preparing for Labor and Birth with Yoga and Massage
While
pregnancy is often filled with excitement and happiness, it can also
bring physical discomforts and anxiety about the upcoming labor and
delivery. This hands-on workshop provides a safe and supportive
environment for the mommy-to-be and her partner to learn various comfort
measures that aren't covered in your hospital class. You will learn
practical tools, such as yoga postures, relaxation practices, and
massage techniques, that can be helpful through all stages of pregnancy,
labor, delivery, and postpartum. Natural, medicated, and C-section
deliveries will be discussed.
You will learn:
-
Yoga postures to help alleviate common discomforts like back and hip pain, leg cramps, and sciatica
-
Breath practices and relaxation techniques to be used during pregnancy and throughout your labor
-
Massage techniques to aid in pain relief through all stages of labor and delivery
Ways to increase confidence in mom and partner as your due date approaches - Tips from the experts on improving your birth
