Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class

What you’ll learn:

Comfort now and ease in birth

Essential daily activities
Balance tight birth muscles to let baby into position now
Learn birth positions to open the pelvis
Your baby’s active role to rotate down and out of the pelvis.
Bring a birth partner and learn to do this together
Classes can be scheduled any time after 20 weeks gestation — because you need a baby bump to get the full benefit of some techniques!

Learn techniques to help muscles in your pelvis support an easier birth. During labor, the baby turns through three levels of the pelvis. Together, you and your birth partner can use these techniques before and during labor to help “make room for baby!” Spinning Babies reveals how the baby can find optimal positions for labor and allows birth to be more comfortable.

This class is for expectant parents only.

*For safety reasons, baby wearing is required for those bringing their babies.

Baby wearing is encouraged for those who are postpartum.

Dancing For Birth Classes

Or a woman who just wants to have fun & move?

Dancing For Birth class is a feel-good prenatal/postpartum fitness class, childbirth education, and a celebration of pregnancy, birth and parenting – all in one! With a focus on each mom and her individual journey and needs, this class provides opportunity for meditation, affirmation, movement and FUN.

From fertility to pregnancy to postpartum Dancing For Birth is for everyone!
