Blossoming Bellies Moving Through Labor
"Moving Through Labor," is a unique two and a half hour class dedicated to understanding pelvic bones, movement, and space, demystifying the idea of optimal positioning for the baby, and learning and practicing movements and techniques for minimizing positioning-related complications during labor. The skills developed in this workshop help expectant parents understand the baby's descent and rotation through the pelvis and the role movement plays in avoiding unnecessary interventions. We cover pelvic dynamics and biomechanics, creating space for the baby through pregnancy and labor, understanding fetal presentation, position, and attitude (head flexion!), movement to encourage efficient laboring, supportive positions for comfort and ease of baby's descent and rotation, and may even have to time to explore use of the Rebozo for encouraging tension release!
