Go deeper into your birth preparation with my Embodied Birth Skills childbirth education course.
Welcome home to your new pregnant body! Join us in a space where we move, connect with each other as pregnant people and rest deeply. We will create space to nourish your body, the growth of baby and allow your mind to relax.
This class is for all pregnant people in any stage of pregnancy. No yoga experience necessary!
In this crazy chaotic world I aim to create an atmosphere of calm power where you can turn towards your intuition and trust the process that is unfolding.
I will help you prepare for the birth that you desire using postures, breathing techniques, meditations and relaxation. You will also connect with other pregnant people which is a vital element for the life to come when baby arrives.
NOTE: Non-pregnant, female support people are welcome in class and are expected to pay and participate just as any other student.
This class is on-going with occasional breaks for holidays
Scholarships are available. Please contact me for info.
“That feeling of fulfillment, satisfaction and gratitude 🙏🧘🏽♀️💪🏼✨
Yesterday at OWC, we were able to experience and learn about our sexuality, sensitivity, reproductive system and so much more!
@sridawn took us on a journey that left us feeling complete, relaxed and fully aware of our bodies and it’s needs!”
“I took Dawn’s prenatal class at Magnolia Birthing Center and it was my first yoga class. I was very nervous, and frankly since I’m overweight, I was intimidated at the thought of being in yoga clothes at all. If you’re scared - GO FOR SURE! No matter what level of yoga experience you have, you’ll get lots from this class. Dawn is a fabulous instructor and I cannot describe the level of rest and self-care and encouragement she incorporates into her class. Seriously, I credit her with keeping my blood pressure low during my entire pregnancy. She is awesome and the best thing since sliced bread!”
“Thank you for prepping me w/ the prenatal yoga sessions and tips on essential oil to diffuse during labor! The yoni mudra pose was especially helpful when I was having the strongest contractions in the water! ”
“Your deep labor sounds are what carried me through so much, a long labor & 4 hours of pushing”
“Dawn does a fantastic job tailoring her class to what her participants need. Her experience as a birth doula and a mother herself means she’s been there, felt that, and can guide you through what you need to feel grounded, confident, and physically well during your pregnancy. I loved her classes and will definitely be back.”
“Thank you for everything - your guidance has been so important during my pregnancy and helped me a lot in labor—even though it did not go according to my “birth plan”!! ”
“Dawn creates beautiful, safe, and healing spaces for mothers on their journey through pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. I attended her prenatal yoga classes almost every week in my second and third trimester and have attended her childbirth workshop and mothers’ circle. I had a peaceful, empowered birth thanks to the mental, physical, and spiritual preparation from Dawn’s classes and have continued to foster a community with other mothers while prioritizing my mental and spiritual health as a new mom. Thank you, Dawn!!!”
“I took Dawn’s prenatal yoga class from the mid first trimester to birth and loved every one. The positions, visualizations, meditations and breathing exercises were great for my first time mom worries, busy mind and strange body aches. Dawn individualized the the sequences based on my (and other mamas’) needs/trimesters and I felt good, mentally and physically after each class. These classes definitely helped me prepare for a satisfying birth experience and gave me better techniques to face the challenges and general stresses that came with my pregnancy. The postpartum classes are great too its just harder to get to those with a new baby!”
