What Folks have to say about our Embodied Birth Series?
“Sue Ann, Roxy, and the guest speakers that joined the Embodied Childbirth Education class were phenomenal. I love that we were encouraged to get to know our classmates through a WhatsApp chat and by being assigned “buddies”. My husband and I left the series feeling much more prepared and much less fearful of the birth experience. My husband and I really looked forward to each class, because they were informative and fun. I highly recommend the Embodied Childbirth classes to anyone interested in learning about birth in a judgment-free, fun space.”
- Caroline Mitchell
“We did their Birth Education Classes in November and LOVED them. My partner and I feel so much more prepared for the birth experience. Now it feels like we can keep reading the books and doing the research - key word being can, we don't have to because they truly gave us enough information to feel ready. Very grateful and highly recommend. Ours was a 3-part series with week 1 being focused on early labor, week 2 being pushing and delivery (including some ways partners can physically support), and week 3 giving us information on potential complications. We've also chosen a doula through Flow of Life's doula meetup.”
-Clary Franko
“During my pregnancy, I have taken the Prenatal Yoga Series and Embodied Childbirth Education Series, plus I have received Prenatal Bodywork from Roxy. Every bit of what The Flow of Life Yoga folks teach, embody, and share through their work in the community is invaluable!
If you are looking for a supportive, empowering, evidence-based, and community-building experience during your pregnancy, I highly recommend you connect with The Flow of Life Yoga in whatever ways are available to you.”
