Yoga is an incredibly powerful tool to help a mother's body comfortably adjust to the accelerated changes experienced during pregnancy, as well as prepare for the physical challenges of the birthing process. Yoga's holistic approach, comprising physical exercises, breathing, meditation and relaxation practices leaves it uniquely placed to nourish both mother and baby's physical, mental and emotional wellbeing as they journey towards birthing.
Yoga also provides a tool-kit full of resources to empower mothers-to-be (and their partners) to create the positive birth experience themselves and their babies so richly deserve, while also paving the way towards full postnatal recovery.
It can also be a way to involve your partner, teaching important physical and emotional skills to bring to the birth room.

Maria is passionate about positive birthing, and used yoga and
hypnobirthing during her pregnancy and for the birth of her two
children.
(Read her first birth story here.)
The website www.positivebirth.ie is also being developed as an information resource for mothers-to-be in Co. Donegal, as well as a place to find birth-related services in the area.
The international Positive Birth Movement is also coming to Donegal (with the first ever PBM meeting running in the Cois Locha Community Wellbeing Hub on July 7th 2018).
These are free to attend meetings aimed at supporting expectant parents
and spreading positivity about birth. Facilitated on a voluntary basis
by Maria Coleman these FREE meetings could potentially run in any part of the county if
there is sufficient interest. Let's get the birth positivity flowing
!!!
The PBM is much needed in the birth-choice environment in Co. Donegal, where the county is exceptional by not having an opportunity of support for home birth. Cesarean rates are also exceptionally high n the county.
