Yoga for Labor and Delivery
This training helps prenatal teachers learn how to help students prepare for labor and delivery using many of the tools and techniques of Hatha yoga. A comprehensive understanding of the anatomy and physiological process will ground teachers in the dynamics of labor. Learn how positions and movement, breath and vocalization, touch and massage, relaxation, visualization, and meditation can support the process of labor and delivery and be effective pain coping tools. Learn about the essentials of labor support and use this knowledge to help partners prepare to support a laboring women. This course prepares teachers to teach a labor preparation workshop for expectant couples/partners, and includes tips on incorporating labor preparation into prenatal yoga classes. This is a wonderful way for prenatal teachers to enrich their teaching and expand their offerings to students as they reach the later weeks of pregnancy.
