Baby massage helps you to become more familiar with your baby´s cues. As baby massage stimulates the release of the love hormone Oxytocin, it helps to support love and bonding. It supports a closeness with your baby, builds confidence in handling your baby and you will become more sensitive to your baby´s needs. This is very empowering as you grow into life together.

babyinside petraBirth Preparation Workshop with Kira

Overview

This workshop is designed to support you along side a traditional birth preparation course taught by a Midwife. It  is designed to give you theoretical and practical tools from a yoga perspective to support you physically, mentally and emotionally as you birth your baby.

Regardless if you have a vaginal or C-section birth, it is still a birth. Your active participation in birthing your baby will empower you as a woman and a mother-to be to this child. Embracing your birth as a sacred and also spiritual journey will strengthen not only you but also your bond with your baby.

This workshop will prepare you with specific yoga asana (physical postures), breathwork, meditation and visualisation techniques all of which will support you  as you birth your baby. This active participation in your birth can help to reduce the pain and fear often associated with birth. It will empower you in the birth room  to stay centered and focused where important decisions need to be made. It is my wish that it will give you the strength, courage and love to birth your baby under all circumstances.

JadeBirth Preparation Workshop with Jade (in German)

Overview

A Workshop with Yoga Asana, Breathwork, and Meditation

In addition to traditional birth preparation courses with a midwife, yoga is a beautiful preparation for both body and mind. In this workshop, we take the time to prepare you for the upcoming birth.

Imagine:

During the birth of your baby, you are so connected to your body and your breath that you can surrender. You have no fear of the pain because you have learned how to breathe through your contractions and move your body to support the birthing process. You experience the birth consciously and feel deeply connected to yourself and your baby.

 

What to Expect at the Birth Preparation Workshop:

Yoga Asanas and Positions for Birth
Yoga is not only helpful during pregnancy but also during childbirth. In this workshop, you'll learn which yoga exercises and positions can be helpful in the various stages of birth to ease and support the process.

Breathing Techniques
Proper breathing is crucial for birth. I'll show you specific breathing techniques that can help you manage contractions better and relax during breaks to regain strength.

  • Meditation
    Meditation helps you stay calm and centered, whether your birth is smooth or challenging. It fosters a deep connection with your baby and strengthens your confidence in yourself, your body, and your child.

    Exchange and Questions About Birth
    During the "Birth Preparation with Yoga" workshop, there is time for exchange and questions about birth. You can meet with other women in the same situation, ask questions, and receive tips from other mothers and me as an experienced mother and yoga teacher.

    Additionally, you will receive a handout with exercises, affirmations, and meditations.

    Who Is This Workshop For:

    If you would like to prepare specifically for birth, this birth preparation with yoga is just right for you.
    For beginners and advanced practitioners: You don't need prior experience in yoga.
    Suitable for all stages of pregnancy: You can attend the workshop at any time during pregnancy, as the exercises can be practiced throughout.
    For first-time and experienced mothers.


About Jade:
Hi! I'm Jade. I'm a mother of two children and love to support women during their pregnancy and time beyond . It's especially important to me that you feel safe in my yoga classes and can build a strong connection with yourself and your baby.
