Childbirth education meets “yogini birthing”. This weekend intensive teaches an 8 step yoga pathway for labour that enables woman to have a natural, mindful and enlightened childbirth experience. Teaching prenatal yoga as a means to having the tools ready for use in labour. The course is ideal for prenatal yoga teachers, expecting moms and others that have a general interest in yoga for natural childbirth. We will cover the yoga birth method techniques that help woman through the three stages of labour. How the 8 limbs of yoga become a powerful tool for prenatal classes and the ability to achieve a natural non-medicated birth through informed choice and pain awareness. We discuss topics such as identifying true labour and embracing a calm state, the waterfall effect of medical assistance during labour, the physical and emotional signs of labour progression and how to apply the birth method consisting of asana sequences, pranayamas and awareness specific to each stage. You will be able to teach the birth method and empower women to experience childbirth naturally, mindfully, and peacefully; the yogini way.

SUN, MOON, AND FIRE: AWAKENING THE TRUE POWER OF YOGA!
The ancient tradition of Tantra maps the entire spectrum and sacred journey of Hatha Yoga. In this retreat we explore Tantra’s approach to yoga, one that yields the greatest capacity to attract happiness and success at every level. According to the ancient teachings, there are three essential stages to practice: Moon, Sun, and Fire or mind, energy, and spirit. Furthermore, it’s vital to adjust your practice (including the specific asanas, breath, bandhas, and our overall approach to yoga), depending upon which one of these three dimensions you intend to affect.
