Preparation for Birth - Workshop for Couples

A two-hour couples workshop with doula Alexa Dean using yoga, massage, breathing and positioning techniques to prepare partners for labour and birth.

This workshop helps couples connect with their baby and prepare for childbirth through gentle paired yoga postures, massage and touch techniques, breathing and alignment exercises, and movements and positions useful for labour and birth. The birthing partner learns how to support the birthing woman during labour, including relieving aches and discomfort using their own body and props. The session ends with a bonding meditation and visualisation with the baby. No yoga experience is needed and the workshop suits all trimesters, experience levels and body sizes; couples are encouraged to attend two or three times to consolidate learning.
