Pregnancy Yoga // Active Birth Special! 

Location: In person at The Hive, Millfield Lane, Poppleton, YO26 6PA

Monday 31st July 2023 

7pm to 8.30pm

Come and learn how you can use different positions, shapes and movement in your body during labour to help you have an 'active birth'.  Being active in labour and birth has so many benefits. It can:

~ help position your baby into the positions they need to be in to move down through the pelvis

~ help you create the most space in your pelvis to allow baby to move down through the pelvis in labour

~ help you feel less discomfort and pain in labour

~ shorten the length of labour

~ minimise the chance of your needing an assisted birth (forceps or ventouse) 

~ help you feel more empowered during labour and birth

This is important stuff that all pregnant folks need to know about!

What we'll do

~ we'll look at the biomechanics of the pelvis, and how it's designed brilliantly  to facilitate labour and birth

~ we'll look at how different shapes, positions and movement in your body creates or removes space in the pelvis in labour and why this is so important

~ we'll look at the role of gravity and upright positions in labour

~ we'll try out lots of different positions and movements - so you can experience them in your body and adapt them to suit you

~ I'll show you how you can use a birth / exercise ball in labour and in pregnancy too and why they are so brilliant

~ we'll look at things you can do to position baby later in your pregnancy, ready for labour

~ we'll look at why connecting into your body in the moment is so vital in labour - and how there is no one right or wrong way of position to birth a baby in
