Having already accompanied many mums throughout their pregnancy and Postpartum period with Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga I can definitely see the benefits of movement during pregnancy and birth!
As I am always looking for new ways to improve their experience, coming from Greece and having a strong connection to dance with oriental influences, when I learned about “Dancing for Birth” a light flashed in my mind! It was the perfect addition to the meditation and breathing I practiced with Yoga. After teaching a couple of demo classes I am hooked! I love the rituals and the community feeling. I believe that my Yoga background together with my knowledge as Doula will help me bring true value to the Dancing for Birth classes and to expecting and new mamas !!
My aspiration is to create communities of mums that
support each other and accompany them into the journey of Motherhood.
And with “Dancing for Birth” I can do exactly that!
