I am excited to announce that Hannah Ford, LMT, MTI of Mint Massage Therapy and I are teaching a 3 hour childbirth preparation couples class on Sunday Feb. 26 2-5pm!  This will be a fun, bonding experience for you and your birth/life partner and you will both take away many practical pain coping tools for labor and birth.  Please sign-up soon because space is limited. 

Past workshop and prenatal yoga student testimonial:

Been meaning to write you to share the great news of the arrival of Emma Mai , born December 1 - she was 8 lbs 7 ozs, 21 inches long.  Despite what the doctor said, she came pretty close to her due date :) .  Somehow, I was able to pull off the labor and delivery without any interventions.  Actually, I attribute being able to pull it off thanks to yoga (and your workshop!!) and Craig made a pretty good doula as well!!  All of the breathing and relaxation exercises helped during contractions and, while I can't say there's much you can do to prepare for the pushing part of it, we got through that as well. 

Anyway, thanks for all your help and encouragement - I'm looking forward to getting back into yoga in a month or so.

This 3 hour class will present a realistic approach on how to work with the with the intensity and hard work of labor & birth.  You will learn the following pain coping strategies:

- Yoga poses for labor and birth
- Massage & acupressure techniques
- Breathing techniques & Vocalization
- Birth ball exercises

There will be a lot of practical hands-on practice.  No yoga or massage experience is necessary.  We recommend you attend this class in the third trimester of your pregnancy.

Pre-work labor techniques will also be discussed and practiced, such as visualization, meditation, and more massage, to help you create the birth you desire!
