Our brains and hormones have a lot to do with the birth journey we take. This class is a practice session which allows you to get into the correct state of consciousness for giving birth. Yoga Nidra, or \"Yogic Sleep,\" is a practice designed to reduce brain activity and promote an overall sense of well-being. In this class, you will be guided through a yoga nidra designed specifically for labor and delivery. Ires will assist you into a very comfortable reclined position and then talk you through a 45 minute script using guided imagery and visualization. In addition, we will do a simple writing technique to help uncover and release any subconscious fears.
