Birth Preparation Classes
Birth Preparation Sunshine Coast
"Pernille was brilliant, we came away from the classes with confidence about the uncontrollable, as well as feeling that no matter what, my husband and I would be comfortable with whatever happened". Rebecca 1st time Mum.
Birth Connection's Birth preparation classes offers you a holistic and soulful approach to birth preparation, based on the popular book and philosophy of 'Birthing From Within'.
Next Workshop: TBC
The classes combine practical modern information with creative and experiential exercises and are about empowering women and their partners to have a positive birth, regardless of how and where their baby is born.
The classes, workshops and session are interactive, fun and engaging, also for partners, and will help you meet your birth experience with strength and confidence.
Parents come away from classes feeling more confident about meeting their birth with commitment, determination and an open heart.
The classes can be taken instead of your traditional hospital class or in conjunction with them.
Through the preparation we will work with:
• Creating a pain coping mindset – there is a big difference between pain and suffering. Pain and the physical sensations of birth are simply “what is.” Suffering occurs when we believe the negative internal story we tell ourselves about the pain. Learn mindfulness practices to help you stay aware of how your mind chatter supports you or discourages you.
• How birth works and how we best support it – birth is orchestrated by a beautiful cocktail of hormones. Understand how to help birth work and how to support the process also if intervention is needed.
• How to be a mindful and supportive helper – being at birth can be very overwhelming. Understand what might be helpful to a birthing woman and what is helpful to your birthing woman. Built confidence in you and your partner.
• What to do when things don’t go as planned – learn about the birth fairy, and how to deal with unexpected events, how to make decisions in labour and communicate effectively with your caregivers to get the best out of the system.
• Baby’s journey through the pelvis – learn simple ways to make space for baby and how to help him/her on their way.
• How to give birth from within by cesarean – understand what happens during a cesarean and what you can do the make the process more positive for you. Even if this is what you most hope won’t happen.
• Welcoming your baby – now what?
• Celebrating birthwith all its joys and challenges. Prepare to be amazed!!!!!
plus much, much more…
So if you are looking for something more, something different and interesting, these classes are for you.
And of course joining a childbirth preparation class allows you to meet other expecting families and share the joys and concerns of pregnancy in a nurturing and fun environment.
Cost $425 for 2-day workshop per couple or individual
For bookings, call Ph: 07 5438 8387 or contact us by clicking here

Wu Tao Dance Workshop
Upcoming Wu Tao Dance Workshop - 4 Seasons
Next session:
TBC
Only $20
You are welcome to experience the beauty harmony and balance of Wu Tao as we connect in-depth to all four seasons of the year.
Being in the moment is the gift of movement.
A Wu Tao class is an opening to consciously connect to all aspects of your being, mind, body and spirit. The Tao implicates a natural way. It is natural and normal to be in balance and being in balance is not a static thing. It is the ability to flow, move and change in any given situation. From this place we can be flexible, strong and centred.
‘Life exists as a creative dance that is in constant motion’. The focus of a class is gentle movement to balance life force energy, which includes the creative expression of the five elements integrating stretching, dance and meditation with music reflecting the quality of the elements.
For example, in the season of autumn we are moving with the Air element relating to inner reflection. This is a time for transformation and change, a freedom. Here in this new expression of movement you are guided to become aware of your body’s rhythm, develop sensitivity to Qi, in and around us, witness an ease and deepening into the natural flow of life.
Kim is an experienced dance teacher from the Sunshine Coast and looks forward to sharing a rich experiential depth to movement of the body. She creates a warm heart space guiding you to embrace your own unique dance.
No previous experience needed, all ages welcome.
Book your place on 5438 8387 or enquire here.

Yoga for Fertility Workshop
Yoga for Fertility Workshop
with Fiona Coe
Saturday 26th May from 2pm to 4:30pm
Trying to conceive can be a very stressful time. It comes as no surprise to yoga lovers that medical research shows that yoga helps improve fertility, with one study showing a threefold improvement in fertility from yoga. Yogis have known for centuries about the secrets of nature that medical science is only now discovering. And now you can learn them too!
In this workshop, you will experience the benefits of yogic breathing (pranayama), deep relaxation (yoga nidra) and visualisations. You will also work through a set of physical postures (asana) specifically designed to improve fertility. The exercises will focus on the sacral centre, the seat of our sacred sexuality and fertility and activate pathways to allow you to open and receive the gift of a new life. We will also cover other ancient yoga techniques for greater fertility.
You will not only leave feeling relaxed and refreshed, but take home techniques to use to help you on your journey to conception.
This workshop is suitable for women trying to conceive naturally and those undergoing treatments. No prior experience of yoga is required.
2.5 hours - $50

Yin Support Groups
Womens Support Group Sunshine Coast
Having the right support when you are a woman, pregnant or a mother is often underestimated in terms of its importance to a woman's health and wellbeing. Being a woman is often associated with simultaneously having many different roles/titles/identities/hats. Thus, women can take on some of the most important responsibilities in the world.
At Yin Health, we pride ourselves in contributing towards strengthening social support networks and services for women and families.
Teddy Love Club Pregnancy and Infant Loss
Benefit from the wisdom, social and emotional connection with other women with similar experiences. We will be meeting again in February 2012. Register your interest with us by clicking here.
