We will begin with some fun partner yoga postures, followed by a discussion about the stages and natural chemistry of labor. Partners will learn how to support their laboring mamas through the use of various massage techniques, laboring positions, methods of labor communication and ways to reinforce a safe, nurturing birth environment. Relaxation techniques and comforting measures will also be explored.
Couples will go home with a packet of handouts reviewing the various topics of the workshop. Please wear comfortable clothing and feel free to bring a snack or water bottle. This workshop is recommended for women in their third trimester.
