Holistic education for your birth journey.
What you’ll learn
Each day begins with a specialist pre-natal yoga session before we move into our learning modules.
Day 1
Prenatal Slow Flow
All our yoga is taught with commitment and care to honour you and your baby. Guided by specialist pre-natal yoga teachers (who are also mothers), our yoga is tailored to common anatomical concerns and changes in the body that occur during pregnancy. Using traditional yoga postures, expect to learn optimal movement techniques useful during labour and appropriate pranayama (breathing techniques) for both pregnancy and labour.
Birth Education
This part of the course is designed to lay the foundations of what can unfold in the birth space. We recognise how important it is to prepare your significant other, so birthing partners are also welcome. Feel empowered by understanding the female anatomy and the physiology journey of birth. Discover what to expect in the days leading up to your birth, and what actually happens during active labour. We will explore the energetics of birth as well as explore the options that are available from a medical perspective. Together we’ll workshop acupressure techniques, active birthing positions, ways your partner can best support you (physically and emotionally) as well as tips, tricks and tools for managing pain in the comfort of your own home.
Day 2
Prenatal Slow Flow
Dive deeper into the physical postures and movements that will assist in active and established labour to get you out of your head and into your body.
Learn the importance of how to establish a balanced pelvic floor for birth. Through breath and guided movement we will teach you how to access both layers for a speedy recovery after birth (to avoid prolapse and incontinence) as well as assist in cervical dilation through the action of softening in labour.
Preparing for Postpartum
Probably the most important aspect of the course. In the first few weeks of becoming a new mum, a woman’s body and mind go through an unparalleled journey. Taught from the perceptive of a traditional Chinese acupuncturist, this module aims to shift and demystify western thoughts on the ‘bounce back’ theory – and redirect mindsets regarding the rebuild of a mother’s long-term mental health and physical well-being. Learn how to integrate eastern philosophies and rituals into the modern world and create the best postpartum care from your own home.
Learn about the specific food groups that will help best nutritionally support you after birth and for breast feeding. Being apart of the Radiant Birth family will ensure you have meal trains, a mental health plan and beautiful group of new mums so you can thrive as a new parent.
Day 3
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra has the ability to transport and transcend. Pranayama can be used anytime during pregnancy but is gold especially during established and second stage of labour. Energising but deeply connecting breath helps to relax your throat, encourages baby to move with gravity and assists in cervical dilation.
Sharing of Birth Stories
It is through the sharing of birth stories we learn more about ourselves and connect to others. Through this sacred ritual from mother to mother we hope to educate, open your eyes to the possibilities that unfold in the birth space and inspire you to manifest your own birth. From home birth, to hospital birth we hope to give you honest and raw insight to the final stage of your journey. The final step of our course is to create a birth plan bringing everything you have learn during the course. We know that we cannot predict a birthing outcome but this cathartic exercise can help you to manifest your deepest desires and communicate to your team how you wish to bring your baby earth side.
