BIRTHING WITH AWARENESS

A 6-week series of 1.5 hour sessions exploring in detail:

the anatomy and movement of the pelvis and its relationship to the spine
the musculature including the pelvic floor and surrounding hip muscles
the organs of the pelvis during pregnancy and delivery
the stages of labour and analysis of certain movements and positions to enhance delivery
exercises and strategies to enhance specific pelvic floor activation, relaxation and protection both through the duration of the pregnancy, during labour and afterward
the integration of the pelvis and perineum into the function of the whole body

This class is suitable for pregnant women at any stage, however it is most effective in the first or early second trimester as some of the ideas and ongoing exercises can then be explored throughout the rest of the pregnancy.
