Birth Rehearsal
If you want to know what to expect from labour and how to engage with it, this is probably the most practical workshop you can do. We will guide couples through a ‘Birth Story’ context, working through each stage of labour using breath, visualisations and movement. You will learn how to move through contractions using postures, breathing and states of consciousness to provide you with strategies for mental and emotional support and pain management.
Covering all the stages of labour, including delivery and what to do if it all goes wrong. Active postures with partner work to prepare couples for labour and working through a ‘labour circuit’. Breathing and specific visualisation techniques with Yoga Nidra.
Massage techniques are given and partners are inspired to feel confident, useful and empowered.
This is a fun workshop where a role is created for the birthing partner. Ideal for couples but single Mum’s to be welcome.
Well Women
This yoga workshop offers therapeutic and rebalancing yoga practices to support women throughout their life and monthly cycles. Topics covered include menstruation, pre-menstrual tension, fertility, peri-menopausal mood swings and post-menopausal health concerns including osteoporosis. It addresses issues related to the female pelvic organs, including postnatal recovery and prolapse, and other issues of concern to women in particular, such as menstrual pain, insomnia, anemia and eating disorder.
A mixture of fluid rhythmic sequences (asana), breath awareness (pranayama), mudra, pelvis and pelvic floor awareness (bandha), deep relaxation, meditation and sound aiming to awaken our understanding of the Shakti energy within us enabling us to feel, nurture and build this energy for inner strength and healing.
