​When we come to make decisions regarding how to birth our baby, many women defer to the expertise of their medical team, even when their intuition is screaming at them to make a different choice. Why? Because pregnancy and childbirth can be overwhelming, and caregivers can assume the power in the dynamic, even if they may not necessarily be following what is best for the particular mother.

 

In this situation, advocating for our wishes can feel daunting, particularly if we are in a vulnerable position physically. But medical caregivers are often overworked, underpaid, and exhausted, and at the end of the day, we have to live with our choices, not our caregivers. 

​​​

This is why we have developed a very special 1.5 hour Somatic Kriya Yoga pregnancy and birth preparation session that is uniquely available through our website, and is tailored for pregnancy. The session centres around opening your throat chakra so that you can best advocate for yourself, but will also work to open your third eye chakra to strengthen your intuitive knowing, and to open your heart chakra, to further align you to divine support, to achieve the best birth outcome. ​

​​

What is Somatic Kriya Yoga?

SKY is based on the ancient Kriya Yoga practice that is over 5000 years old, and is known to be incredibly profound for shifting your body and mind into a more positive state, creating lasting improvements. The process combines movement, intention, mudra hand positions and more, to swiftly facilitate negative energy release, and support the opening of the heart and mind. This strengthens your divine connection, allowing you to feel more confident in your intuition and choices, on a daily basis.  

​

The session is designed as a one-to-one for pregnant mothers, or can be booked for both mother and their birth partner. ​

 

When adapted thoughtfully, Kriya practices can:

• Support nervous system regulation

• Deepen the connection with your baby

• Prepare the body for labour through breath awareness (and pelvic mobility?)

• Complement hypnobirthing and physiological birth preparation beautifully​
