Prenatal Childbirth Preparation Workshop

Two Sundays. November 24, Dec. 1st, 2019.

Time: 9:30am – 5:00 pm with breaks for lunch and snacks. Location TBD.

Please contact me early to indicate your interest so we have a large enough space for this class!

Contact: 6534867 or shannoncowanyoga(at)gmail(dot)com

Where: TBD depends on class size.

Cost: $120 per birth team 

Evidence-based learning with Lamaze Certified Instructor, Shannon Cowan.

Intended Learning Outcomes of the workshop:

• to recognize and respond proactively to the stages of labour
• to understand anatomy of labour and birth and potential medical interventions
• know how to promote healthy birth outcomes under a variety of potential birth scenarios
• to understand and develop coping skills to manage sensations (positions, comfort measures and different applications)
• to encourage and to support verbally, physically and emotionally in different stages (for partners)
• to recognize newborn healthy appearance and cues, apply basic infant care strategies
• to make informed decisions, and to communicate needs and questions in medical environments
• to understand and apply a ‘whole person’ mental-emotional preparedness approach to pregnancy, birth and family life
• to understand and use evidence-based physical, physiological, and nutritional tools for the childbearing year
• to understand stages of breastfeeding with newborns, recognize and differentiate breastfeeding challenges and learn to apply tools to overcome them

I plan to offer a workshop in February 2020 and you can indicate interest for that timing if your due date is March or later.

Who should take this workshop?

This is recommended for first time parents, for those who have not attended any births before, and for those who had a traumatic previous birth experience. It will also train people in developing knowledge, skill and comfort in the role of supporting another person in birth, and throughout the childbearing year.

Prenatal Preparation Private Class – $150.00 

Taught privately in my studio, or your home  – this is a 4 hour custom-tailored class suited exactly to your needs; may include  yoga and partner labour support practice. This version does not quite follow the 12-hour Lamaze-approved course guidelines, but is a pared down version focussing on stages of labour, comfort measures, informed decision-making, and labour support skills.

Contact: 6534867 or shannoncowanyoga(at)gmail(dot)com 

to arrange a private.

Private yoga classes are custom-designed sessions (2 hours).

I have more than 20 years experience as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, as taught by Yogi Bhajan. I have ten years experience teaching prenatal yoga.
