  • Our Prenatal Classes offer Premium hands-on adjustments, support, and comfort measures and are designed for all levels of yogis in pregnancy.

    Our classes are a custom hybrid of yin, restorative, and gentle vinyasa flow. Includes some massage, counter-pressure, labour coping techniques, mindfulness practices, rebozo sifting*, fetal positioning including spinning babies techniques (if desired), essential oils**, warm/cold therapy, techniques such as tapping, and more.

    *We use such methods inspired by Indigenous midwives and healers, and will ask you important questions about your baby and placenta positioning to ensure sifting is safe for you. Rebozo sifting may be done as a means of encouraging optimal fetal positioning, using similar techniques as modelled by Spinning Babies practitioners.

    **Let us know if you have allergies or sensitivities and scent preferences. Mindfulness of scent can be an incredibly helpful coping tool in labour and is not always permitted (use of essential oils) in healthcare settings. We will be mindful of our use and either use your own oils or those provided by your doula!

    Classes are 90-Minutes in total with a 15-30-Minute Q&A/discussion period for prenatal concerns, inspiration, and childbirth consultation.

  • Yoga , positioning, breathing, meditation, acupressure, and more to help encourage spontaneous labour. These classes may be booked from 37 weeks onwards, and may be book as often as daily from 40-weeks onwards to help prevent unnecessary medical induction.

    The goal of these sessions is to increase oxytocin and other birth-promoting hormones, offer guidance and reassurance, and overcome mental blocks/fears around birth. All of which can help the cervix and baby to become more ready for childbirth.

    2-Hour Sessions are held in-home, ideally in a dark, intimate space, to encourage the increase of birth hormones. Massage oil, counter pressure on acupressure points to induce labour, breathing techniques, and more are included. Props provided.
