Yoga for Couples
If your partner would like to be involved in practicing yoga with you I also offer couples yoga sessions. Couples yoga is a beneficial practice in preparation for labour and will help you gain a greater understanding of eachother's bodies. It also teaches important skills for birth partners to give them a greater understanding of the value of their role in childbirth.
