Choosing to prepare for your birth in the comforts of your own home is often the best choice for a family. Whether it is because of scheduling conflicts, lack of classes or other reasons, we realize that getting the information to you is the most important goal – no matter what form it takes.  We hope you enjoy this homestudy course as it guides through an in depth look at holistic childbirth and parenting.  Our approach combines many philosophies into one with a special consideration for the importance of yoga and meditation.  To get the most out of your experience, consider making it a priority for you and your birth partner to start a meditation practice, whether together or separately.

As for yoga, consider taking a prenatal yoga class or using some videos at home.  Yoga helps prepare you for labor, birth and postpartum is unlike other forms of exercise or physical discipline.  As always, check with your Doctor or Midwife before you start yoga or any form of exercise in your pregnancy. For the homestudy course, we suggest following the seven chapters in order and completing the work inside each chapter within one week.  Doing the chapters within a sensible timeframe should enhance your ability to understand and learn the information.  However, should the information be repetitive to you or uninteresting, just skip around in any order that makes sense to you.
