Pregnancy Body Balance Workshop
-
For Mamas and Birth Partners
As soon as you can after 20weeks of pregnancy for optimal results
Create space in the uterus and pelvis for labour to start ‘on time’, baby to descend through the pelvis efficiently, the cervix progresses quickly, and you experience a natural vaginal birth.
When our ligaments are out of balance:
Labour starting is delayed- leading to more inductions
Bubs enters the pelvis in a difficult position increasing their size- leading to long more intense labours
Bubs can get stuck in the pelvis- preventing their descent earthside- Leading to C-section or instrumental bith for obstructed labour
The cervix doesn’t open and progress- leading to C-section for ‘Failure to Progress’
(I am so sorry for using these awful terms- I just really want you to understand what I am referring to! Body Balancing is honestly the most important component of your birth prep if you desire a natural birth)
Unfortunately, our modern-day lifestyles don't support body balance, ESPECIALLY in the ligaments surrounding the uterus and pelvis leading to a birth full of obstructions, delay, pain, and intervention.
When you have balanced ligaments in the uterus and pelvis, you are physically preparing your body to have a progressive, efficient labour progression, and birth experience.
When your pregnant body is balanced:
Your labour can start when nature intended
Your baby can engage and descend through the pelvis with ease and efficiency
Your cervix progresses effectively
Accumulatively, allowing you to have a natural birth
With balanced ligaments you will enter your birth like a bad-bitch, having the utmost confidence in yourself, surrendering into your body, trusting yourself to progress easfully through the natural process of birth.
In this workshop you will learn & receive?

The ligaments have 2 main roles in labour and birth:
Guide bub into the optimal position for the shape of your pelvis during the end of pregnancy
2. Act as a road map within the pelvis, guiding baby to flex and rotate their head, allowing for efficient and easful descent of baby and progression of the cervix during labour
Our 30-minute flow contains techniques from ancient midwifery methods, yogic practises, Spinning Babies and Womens Health Physio teachings.
This workshop is for you if:

You are a mama who wants labour to start as soon as it is ready.
You wish to avoid an instrumental birth or C-section
You are a second time mama going for a VBAC.
You are a second time mama wanting a shorter labour this time.

FAQ’s
Can I do this series if I have Pelvic Girdle pain?
Absolutely!
In our introductory video I explain exactly how to modify certain positions for if you have the common pregnancy discomfort of Pelvic girdle pain.
Although yoga can help Pelvic Girdle pain- I recommend seeing a Womans Health Physio to receive treatment for your pelvic girdle pain.

Yes you receive LIFETIME access to this 6 week video series- you can flow with these videos over and over through this current pregnancy AND future pregnancies.
Do I need equiement?
