Birth is a natural, normal process that unfolds best when undisturbed
Bloom Yoga's antenatal workshop Yoga for Active Birth is an opportunity for mothers, expectant parents and birth supports to become educated and informed of ways in which to support and assist one another while learning the physiology of natural birth through a combination of information, lectures and practical tutorials presented over 3 hours.
Both the mother and her birth partner explore hands on practical yoga postures helpful for different stages of birth such as standing, squatting, lunging, all fours and resting postures, as well as utilising yogic breathing and mindfulness skills especially for labour and birth.
​
Learn to reframe your expectation of pain, discover practical tools to manage pain in labour including touch, movement and massage while also understanding how your brain, body and hormones are designed to support a labouring woman's body and mind.

I've done a few courses with Sara now & they have all been wonderful, with the most recent being the yoga for active birth workshop. I can confirm that not only do these techniques work, but the way that Sara teaches them and explains them is done in a way that stays with you (even in the midst of labour!) Could not recommend this course enough for anyone looking to approach their birth with confidence and faith in their own body.

My partner and I participated in Sara's Active Birth Workshop at Bloom Yoga. It was highly informative and tailored to our knowledge base. There was a great balance of theoretical and practical information, and plenty of opportunity for questions. The workshop provided insight into the process of birth planning, and how we as a couple can work together during the stages of labour and birth.
