Preparing for Childbirth with Yoga with Jane Austin & Britt Fohrman

Every six weeks, we also hold a special, three-hour-long workshop called Prenatal Partners. In this workshop, you and your partner will learn techniques for breath awareness, partner poses and massage, which can help strengthen and relax your body; and sooth your mind during the birth process. Additionally, these approaches will give you the opportunity to connect more deeply to yourself, your partner, and your baby. You will also explore visualization and relaxation techniques that can further assist you during childbirth. Yoga is an excellent way to prepare the mind, body and spirit for the many transitions of pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood. One hour before this workshop, please eat a light meal and bring a snack with you.

The cost is $70 per couple and registration for each session is limited to 18 couples in order to assure unique, personal attention for everyone.
