A new spin on childbirth classes, this partner prenatal workshop will help you explore birth and how yoga and mindfulness can help support you and your partner through birth (and beyond!). Whether you regularly practice yoga or are curious about how yoga can benefit you during and beyond pregnancy and birth, this workshop offers you and your birth partner the opportunity to practice yoga together while also providing you both with insights and lessons on understanding breath, body and the specific needs of a birthing person.
Megan, a certified Yoga Alliance Pre/Postnatal yoga teacher with 10 years of experience working with pregnant and postpartum students, will guide you through teachings, open conversations and practices around partner massage, communication methods during and beyond birth, and yoga poses to bring you both support, strength and comfort during this special time.
