yoga birth rehearsal

A unique and practical approach to birth preparation for pregnant women and their partners.  £40 per couple (or a private session £95)

The Yoga Village birth workshop has developed over decades and has been devised by specialist yoga teachers, midwives and clinical hypnotherapists. This is an active birth and yoga-based birth preparation session including mindfulness, body movement & positioning, breathing techniques and other strategies.  

“I found that on the labour day my husband was really in tune with what I needed and I know that was formed during the class – we started working together in a new way” Claire

At the workshop you will practice a range of practical tools to establish a sense of safety, ease the birth and develop a labour partnership. 

In the workshop you’ll practice and learn to:-

• breathe through contractions,
• discover coping skills
• use birthing positions
• move in ways that assist birth
• use a birthing ball effectively
• try massages for labour
• use visualisations
• discover alternative ways to help with labour sensations
• discover how these all integrate with each other to provide a powerful set of tools that can be personalised to suit your unique needs and experience.
• AND come together as a couple to prepare for your baby’s arrival together

Our workshop is practical, unique and helpful.

The workshops offer a hands-on approach which allows labouring women and their birth partners to explore (and most importantly practice!) various techniques that together provide powerful support and coping strategies. There is little sitting around and more emphasis on “doing” together…After all, a labouring brain relies on body memory, instinct, trust and a sense of safety, not on notes or complex decision making.

This workshop is open to those who have been practicing yoga in their pregnancy and also couples who are new to yoga. You won’t need any experience.
