Spinning Babies® Parent Class – currently held ONLINE
If you’re a patient in our clinic, you’ve likely heard us harp on and on (and on and on…) about fetal positioning. So often we hear mamas say “oh my baby is head down, so that’s good!” but that’s only one piece of the puzzle! We want to make sure your baby is head down and in a position that will encourage an easier birth. Let’s face it – we all want easier births! This is where Spinning Babies® comes in.
Learn to connect deeply with your baby and your body, and bring balance to your pregnancy and birth through simple exercises.
Spinning Babies® is an approach to help and encourage you (together with your partner, loved one or friend) to connect deeply with your baby and your body, to bring balance and suppleness during your pregnancy and birth through simple exercises. Those simple techniques will help make room for baby to encourage optimal fetal positioning, bringing comfort to your pregnancy and ease at birth.
What you will learn:
- Basic Anatomy of the Pelvis and how it affects your birth.
- Daily Essentials exercises and Three Sisters of Balance.
- How to Rest Smart and Move Smart for fetal positioning.
- Labour patterns
- Baby’s journey through the three pelvic levels, opening the pelvic levels.
This 3 hour class was created just for expectant parents.
Learn why head down is not always enough!
This is a small class: 4 to 5 couples maximum.
