Who Should Attend?
Class will be of special interest to: breastfeeding or pregnant mothers, childbirth educators, doulas, lactation consultants, pediatric and obstetric healthcare professionals and prenatal and postpartum yoga teachers. Nursing children welcome.

What Will Be Covered?
Class will cover yoga and meditation techniques appropriate for the childbearing year and the art of breastfeeding. Special emphasis will be placed on a yoga practice in support of breastfeeding.

Description:
Class will teach the fundamentals of developing a yoga practice relative to the journey of Motherhood. Breastfeeding is selfless service, a special time in a woman’s life when she is in the grace of the universe being her authentic self. This class will explore the meditative depths women achieve as Divine Mothers. Many of us face the obstacle of ignorance when seeking breastfeeding support. The arms of information will be shared to defeat these obstacles.

Discussion topics include: breast anatomy, physiology of breastfeeding, benefits of breastfeeding, breastfeeding holds and positions, breastfeeding and siblings.

What to bring
Yoga mat, pillows for nursing support (boppy), baby/doll/teddy bear.
