Class Description: Week by week, as your baby grows, come mentally and emotionally prepare for the ineffable journey that birth is. Each class is created in real time by the mothers in the room, voicing what they want and need—often ranging from relieving low back pain to easing heartburn--followed by breathwork techniques applicable to and supportive in each phase of labor and delivery. Then, while you open your hips and strengthen your deep core muscles, you'll practice different ways of meeting your contractions, empowering you to move through birth with more presence and power. The class includes self-massage and stress management techniques, and finishes with a meditation, giving you time and space to connect with your baby.
