“The Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training was excellent. The techniques Janice shared, the spirituality, the language, the guided imagery, the ability to hold the space for each person in such a large group, to hold boundaries, the honesty and purity – were all meaningful and powerful for me. Janice’s sensitive, compassionate, light hearted but profound way of teaching has increased my ability to go deeper inside and to love, appreciate and accept myself and to inspire pregnant women. Excellent manual.” Edith Jason

Prenatal Yoga classes provide an opportunity for expectant women to develop greater vitality and awareness of their body that is home for two, as well as to deepen their relationship with their baby. Gentle postures, breath work, vocal toning and meditation are learned to cultivate flexibility, calm and confidence in preparation for labour and childbirth. Women are empowered to enhance their ability to access greater relaxation, comfort, and enjoyment. Calm and flexibility ease the birthing process, thus reducing pain and increasing the joy of giving birth. With Prenatal Yoga, women prepare for as active, normal and natural a birth as possible. In the Prenatal Yoga classes, women experience the empowerment and beauty of this transformational time in their lives.
Couples Birth Preparation provides an opportunity for couples together to enhance awareness of and confidence in pregnancy, labour and birth. Through discussion, gentle postures, breath work, vocal toning, meditation and massage, couples cultivate greater relaxation, understanding and enjoyment for childbearing. Couples practice postures together that are both beneficial and enjoyable during pregnancy and during labour. Partners feel more connected to the unborn baby. The presence and encouragement of a woman’s partner is a powerful aid to labour and delivery. Partners develop greater understanding to support the birthing mom with confidence and sensitivity.
