Couples Yoga For Labor: A class for your birth partner to connect with you, baby and to feel empowered.
Couples will practice breath work, yoga poses, massage, and relaxation techniques in this fun and informative workshop. We will address the common discomforts of pregnancy and labor and build a toolkit for each couple to take home. Partners will learn ways to support the pregnant and laboring woman in yoga poses, to help adjust her body for relaxation, and to safely massage and support her during this special time in her life. No yoga experience is required. Please wear comfortable clothing you can move freely in.

A love for the quiet that comes from moving the body led Megan through years of sports and into yoga. In her classes Megan emphasizes body and breath awareness to help students find much more than just a physical benefit from their practice. Megan's humor, compassion and encouragement help students- from prenatal, to toddlers, to adults - to practice the yoga that suits them best.
Megan has a 500hr certificate from Pacific Yoga. She continuously studies prenatal yoga and childbirth education with Colette Crawford and is certified to teach prenatal yoga. She also passionately studies philosophy, Yoga Nidra, and Sanskrit. Megan is guided by a love to help students gain a personal depth of understanding for different phases of life, illnesses, injuries and all imbalances that we all come across.
