Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers—strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and believe in their inner strength.

YOGA for birth PROGRAM

get your body and mind prepared for birth

The aim of the program is to prepare your body and mind for your labour and birth.

It incorporates movements, breath work, sounds and meditation so you can feel nurtured, recharged, empowered, confident and relaxed (to name a few!).

It gives you practical resources for an active and positive birth.

A time for body wisdom and connections

This program allows you to connect to your deep self, intuition and body wisdom.

It is a beautiful opportunity to connect with your baby and a wonderful way to find emotional support from a community of other mamas-to-be.

Each week, we will explore different themes to approach birth with confidence, strength, calm and trust.

Who is this for?

This program can be done on its own or as a complement to yoga for pregnancy classes. It is held in a safe and supporting environment, whatever your yoga history or birth choices are.

It is best suited for mamas in their late 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy.

Classes are adapted for mamas working with physical discomforts, so don't let your pain get in the way of joining.

“A strong intention, a relaxed body and an open mind are the main ingredients for an active birth.”

— Janet Balaskas

Marion Loisance
A certified fertility and perinatal yoga teacher, counsellor-in-training and mother of 2 helping women navigate fertility, pregnancy, birth and motherhood through evidence-informed movement, nervous system regulation and compassionate care.

Yoga for Mama is an evidence-informed maternal wellbeing practice that uses yoga as one of its tools. I understand the transition to motherhood from physical, emotional and psychological perspectives.

If I do what I do today, it is thanks to my own matrescence. I knew for a while that my purpose in life was not in my former career. I enjoyed it, but something was missing. My first pregnancy sparked my transition to working with women, and doing my yoga teacher training while 26 pregnant showed me the path I would take to do so. This is how Yoga for Mama was born. Since then, every step of my professional development has been driven by one goal: to better support women through the profound transition into motherhood.
