Yoga is also an excellent preparation for your mind and body for birth. In the words of my beautiful teacher, Lori Lucas, yoga teaches you how to "relax on purpose". During the birth process, purposeful relaxation helps open up your body and allows for rest in between each wave. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5711482a27d4bd1fe3e39f0d/1598338490333-1MGGJGP1OD85VEEKN5YQ/Katherine+Blanco+Holistic+Doula+South+Surrey+%2C+White+Rock%2C+BC Yoga - Postpartum Yoga Similar to prenatal yoga there are incredible benefits to practicing yoga after baby arrives. These benefits include getting back in touch with your core, elevating strain from long feeding sessions, plus engaging and increasing muscle tone in the pelvic floor.

My family was coming for the birth, but their flights got canceled. That was when I decided to get a doula to support my husband and me during our home birth. I talked to my yoga teacher, and she recommended Katherine. I was almost 36 weeks pregnant when we met Katherine, but we knew she was the one.My baby decided to come a week after that. Even though we didn’t have the time to establish a deeper connection with Katherine, she was very friendly, sweet, and funny (which made us feel relaxed and calm). She was always checking in on us. My water broke before my contractions had started, for this reason I had to go to the hospital. The OB on duty at BC Women’s Hospital advised me to stay at the hospital for an induction because of the risks of an infection. I decided to go home. And after that, it was three days of waiting at home for my contractions to start. Katherine supported my decision and, she gave me great confidence, reassuring my body and my baby knew best. Her advice was always informed and thoughtful. Once I went into active labour, after the long wait and the long delivery, Katherine help me to work through the waves, giving me the strength and energy to keep going until my baby was born. I’m very grateful for having her as my doula for my home birth. Katherine was empowering, caring, and a calming presence in our postpartum experience as well. We would highly recommend Katherine as a Doula for anyone wanting lovely energy and wonderful support, information, and guidance at your birth. - Holistic Doula Care & Birth Support Client https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5711482a27d4bd1fe3e39f0d/09018287-457a-4167-8dc0-5df5d5ca4743/unsplash-image-1mFSqTHjVns.jpg Kind Words - if I could only recommend one thing in terms of preparing for birth, first or other, it would be having Katherine by your side.
