Birth Preparation with KiraOverview
This workshop is designed to support you along side a traditional birth preparation course taught by a Midwife. It is designed to give you theoretical and practical tools from a yoga perspective to support you physically, mentally and emotionally as you birth your baby.
Regardless if you have a vaginal or C-section birth, it is still a birth. Your active participation in birthing your baby will empower you as a woman and a mother-to be to this child. Embracing your birth as a sacred and also spiritual journey will strengthen not only you but also your bond with your baby.
This workshop will prepare you with specific yoga asana (physical postures), breathwork, meditation and visualisation techniques all of which will support you as you birth your baby. This active participation in your birth can help to reduce the pain and fear often associated with birth. It will empower you in the birth room to stay centered and focused where important decisions need to be made. It is my wish that it will give you the strength, courage and love to birth your baby under all circumstances.

Overview
A Workshop with Yoga Asana, Breathwork, and Meditation. In addition to traditional birth preparation courses with a midwife, yoga is a beautiful preparation for both body and mind. In this workshop, we take the time to prepare you for the upcoming birth.
Imagine:
During the birth of your baby, you are so connected to your body and your breath that you can surrender. You have no fear of the pain because you have learned how to breathe through your contractions and move your body to support the birthing process. You experience the birth consciously and feel deeply connected to yourself and your baby.
Yoga Asanas and Positions for Birth
Yoga is not only helpful during pregnancy but also during childbirth. In this workshop, you'll learn which yoga exercises and positions can be helpful in the various stages of birth to ease and support the process.
Breathing Techniques
Proper breathing is crucial for birth. I'll show you specific breathing techniques that can help you manage contractions better and relax during breaks to regain strength.
Additionally, you will receive a handout with exercises, affirmations, and meditations.
Who Is This Workshop For:
If you would like to prepare specifically for birth, this birth preparation with yoga is just right for you.
For beginners and advanced practitioners: You don't need prior experience in yoga.
Suitable for all stages of pregnancy: You can attend the workshop at any time during pregnancy, as the exercises can be practiced throughout.
For first-time and experienced mothers.

In this cozy, nurturing space, you’ll learn how to offer your baby the gift of loving, skin-to-skin touch through gentle, safe massage techniques.
It’s a beautiful way to support your baby’s development, deepen your bond, and slow down together in a calm and caring rhythm.
You’ll be guided through specific strokes you can easily take home and weave into your own routine — at a time that feels right for you both.
We’ll end each session with a few deeply restful Restorative Yoga postures just for you — to replenish body, mind, and spirit.
Take your time, breathe & connect.
Listen to your baby’s cues —
they will teach you everything you need to know.
– Kira Cook

These classes are a chance to slow down, to connect, and to enjoy playful, nourishing time with your baby.
You’ll learn soft, simple massage techniques you can offer your baby with love and confidence — and take them home to use whenever it feels right for both of you.
Each week includes:
• Gentle, skin-to-skin massage that supports bonding and body awareness
• Time to share, connect, and exchange stories with other parents
• The use of carefully selected oils — or bring your own if you have a favourite
• A few quiet moments of Restorative Yoga for you, with your baby close in your arms
We move at a calm and steady pace, introducing new massage techniques each week:
Week 1: Legs & feet — plus Restorative Yoga for hips, legs & lower back
Week 2: Chest, arms & hands — plus heart-opening Restorative Yoga
Week 3: Face, head & back — plus gentle poses for neck, jaw & shoulders
Week 4: Integration — a relaxed, intuitive session to bring it all together
Loving, intentional touch helps support your baby’s physical, emotional, and sensory development. It can also:
• Improve sleep
• Ease gas, colic, reflux & constipation
• Support nutrient absorption & healthy weight gain
• Soothe fussiness & help them relax
• Relieve growing pains, teething discomfort & congestion
• Deepen their sense of body awareness and security
As you practice baby massage, you’ll begin to attune more deeply to your baby’s cues and rhythms.
This can:
• Strengthen your bond and build emotional connection
• Support the release of oxytocin (the love hormone)
• Boost your confidence in caring for and soothing your baby
• Offer a quiet space to feel grounded and empowered as you grow into this new role together
This course welcomes mothers, fathers, grandparents or close family friends — anyone who wishes to share meaningful time with their baby in a nurturing space.
• A large towel for your baby to lie on
• A small blanket and beanie to keep your baby cozy
• Your own oil if your baby has extra sensitive skin
• A printed booklet of all the massage techniques you’ve learned
• Organic oil for use in class — choose between sweet almond or grapeseed oil
