A complete guide to a more pleasurable and empowered birth experience.

We are told that birth is painful, scary and hard. What if birth could be pleasurable, empowering and full of love? Birth isn’t something that just happens to you, it’s a right of passage that’s shaping your journey into parenthood. Contrary to what some may say, you are not just a passive passenger along for the ride.  To have a birth that feels present and connected, while reducing your risk of birth trauma, you need the tools to stay rooted and connected to your body and baby during birth.   Birth is wildly unpredictable, and knowing your options allows you to navigate the unexpected with grace and confidence. Allowing you to set aside fear and focus on the dream birth you desire. In Embodied Birth you and your birth partner will learn  and practice the skills to stay connected to your inner wisdom during birth.  In this class we focus on how you want your birth to feel and how you can navigate the many directions birth may take with confidence, mindfulness and trust.

In this class you will learn through lecture, movement, meditation and connection with other expecting parents. Ella and Tara will guide you in preparing your mind, body and spirit for your birth experience. We will offer you somatic practices to connect your body to different stages of labor, teach you yoga flows to help prepare your body for labor and create comfort in pregnancy.
