Yoga for Birth
with Carrie Jeff
CLASSES IDEAL TO ATTEND IN THE LEAD UP TO BIRTH
For women in their 3rd trimester who are interested in delving deeper into the practice of yoga to physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually prepare for birth. |
"This course was incredible. It really exceeded my expectations and I am now in the best head space I can possibly be."
Simone
Breathing for labour and birth
The sessions include prenatal yoga and breathing techniques and will further explore mantras, chakras, the power of the mind/body connection and how the birthing body works and how it's affected by stress.
How to use a birth ball
You will learn how to use a birth ball to help stay comfortable during labour. When you are comfortable, you are able to focus more on your breath which keeps the nervous system calm. A birth ball can be used to open your pelvis and move baby into a good position. Using gravity and upright positions helps to shorten labour and make it easier for you and baby.
Create space in the pelvis for optimal foetal positioning
By using gentle inversions, you will explore positions that can assist baby to get into an optimal position for birthing. Focusing on the hips and pelvis there are many yoga poses that help with their descent, rotation and journey.
Labour and birth positions
These sessions will give you the chance to practice first stage active birth positions, second stage birthing positions, vocalising and pelvic floor awareness. Studies show that being active in birth leads to a faster, less painful and safer experience for both mother and baby. Being open, flexible and active in labour means you can follow your own intuition and guidance, rather than your birth being managed by others.
How to use a rebozo
You will learn how to use a rebozo for comfort during labour and have a chance to connect with other women approaching their birthing day. When women gather together with other women during the prenatal period, their pregnancies are healthier, more likely to go to full term and the sense of connection to other women at this time of transformation can help ease their own transformation into motherhood.
Yoga Nidra, Visualisation & Meditation
"By practising meditation, a woman can learn to choose to create a state of consciousness that is associated with a quicker and less painful labour and birth. Women who meditate in pregnancy have reported easy birth experiences, often painless and often ecstatic. When birth is approached from a place of inner calm and trust, it can unfold in its natural way and be a positive initiation into motherhood."
Ten Moons - Jane Hardwicke Collings
JOYMAMMA Yoga for Birth is a safe and nurturing place to connect and share with others. It provides timeout for busy women to focus on this new little soul growing within.
"After teaching over 3,000 hours of Pregnancy Yoga classes in the past 8 years, the knowledge and experience gained from being with women and journeying with some of them through their labour and birth has helped me fine tune and structure a program that aims to meet women's needs that go way beyond the physical."
