Unlike any other antenatal yoga classes!!
Sitaram birth rehearsals are not like other antenatal classes: they are a unique way of
preparing expectant mothers and fathers for labour, whether you are having a hospital birth, a water birth or a home birth. These workshops will teach physical, emotional and mental preparedness for birth - emphasising natural birth, normal labour and an active birth, in the sense of being confident in the abilities of the woman’s body. For each stage of the birthing process, you will learn simple breathing, movement, postures and visualisations to ease the birth of your baby. You will also cover the positioning and experience of your baby during birth, the role of the supportive birthing partner, and birthing positions. The workshops will emphasise minimum theory and maximum practice!
Although women are welcome to attend on their own, the workshops work best when the pregnant woman is accompanied by her birthing partner.
