In my regular Hatha classes I invite students to playfully connect to their innate strength and goodness. I use a therapeutic approach to help students learn the adjustments and adaptations that will best assist their personal healing and well-being.
For expectant mothers, I focus on harnessing the inner strength and confidence to sweetly guide the mother along the journey to childbirth.
For postnatal mothers I emphasize reclaiming core strength for a easeful lower back and relaxed neck and shoulders, which makes for happier families. In other words, if momma ain’t happy, nobody is happy!
For couples in Labor & Delivery workshops, I seek to provide practical yoga-based techniques for birth partners to better assist the mother, as well as enhance family bonding.
