The Birth Well

The Birth Well @ Baltimore Yoga Village offers a suite of services specifically designed to educate and support women on the birthing journey. We believe that peace begins with how babies are brought into the world and that women can have empowered and peaceful birthing experiences in the hospital or the home.

 

Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal Yoga honors the unique capacity of the pregnant body while honoring the changing psyche of the expectant mother. Appropriate for beginners and all levels of experience, in these classes, women relax in the company of other women in a sacred space, exercising in preparation for childbirth. The classes combine discussion, gentle yoga stretches, creative movement, breathwork, massage and guided imagery to cultivate a deeper awareness, trust, and confidence in our body’s innate resources for pregnancy, labor, and birth. Classes are held in 6 week sessions in our Hampden location. View the Specialty Courses page to read on and register for the next 6 week session. Cost: $90 for six weeks.
Mind Body Birth/ Childbirth Preparation Classes

Mind Body Birth is designed to fully prepare mothers and partners for a healthy, happy pregnancy and birth as well as the powerful life transformation from woman to mother, from a couple to partners. Included in this course are:

  • health and wellness during pregnancy – keeping yourself happy and low-risk
  • nutrition: nourishing your body throughout pregnancy is nourishing the baby. Practical and realistic nutrition tools to keep you on track
  • Birth choices: from choosing a provider and birth team to choosing the place of birth, we establish the groundwork for consumerism, empowering you to decide for yourself what is right for you and to make choices best for you and your baby.
  • Trusting your body, trusting birth – refraining from cultural and social expectations of birth, understanding the seamless biological perfection of the natural process of birth and trusting the wisdom of your body to know how to give birth.
