For many of us, the only labor images or videos we have seen are in movies and tv shows. The woman is in pain and she is yelling about how much she despises her partner because he “got” her pregnant. Usually, she is on her back and immediately went from no contractions to full-on labor. Oh, and her water broke and ruined her new shoes. This is not representative of what labor is like (only 15% of women have their bags broken before labor begins) And labor does not have to be a scary, painful, horrible experience. This workshop will empower you to make your labor and delivery what you want it to be. In this workshop you will learn:
What exactly happens to your body when you go into labor and how proper alignment of your pelvis can help a baby be delivered with fewer interventions.
Strategies to soften the body and mind in order to let go and help get labor started when the time comes.
How to strengthen the muscles that will assist in pushing the baby out.
Kundalini “keep up” exercises to help train your mind for the overwhelm and exhaustion you will experience during surges.
Mental strategies to take your focus away from the intensity of your surges.
Meditations that will shift your mindset from a place of scarcity to abundance.
How to set up your hospital room so it feels more intimate and personal.
Tips on how to nourish your body and some recipes to support you after the baby is born.
Connection with other pregnant mama’s.

Reviews from previous workshops:
"Ashley was a great guide making the group feel comfortable to share their stories. It was a great environment where I learned so much about labor and delivery and tips on how to make the experience better. I myself was able to release my own fears I was struggling with and came out feeling more prepared for my baby’s birth. Ashley is a wealth of knowledge regarding pregnancy, the body, labor, and delivery. I highly recommend her classes!" - Heather Abramson.
“This workshop was incredibly transformative! Ashley created such a safe and supportive space, allowing us mamas to openly share our very real fears about labor and delivery. Through her guidance, I was able to reframe many of those anxieties, replacing them with a profound sense of appreciation and wonder for my own body's amazing capabilities. The practical stretches and movements she taught were invaluable, giving me a clear understanding of how I can naturally support my body through the birthing process. I now feel so much more confident and prepared for this part of my pregnancy journey.” - Teresa Collins
“Ashley hosted a wonderful workshop where we learned all about preparing for childbirth, and addressing our fears surrounding labor and childbirth. The setting was an intimate group where each of us could openly share our story, and I left feeling both empowered and validated. Ashley shared a wealth of knowledge on tools to use during labor that covered breathwork, positioning, movement and mindset. We learned about what to expect for each stage of labor, and which tools are most useful for each stage. She shared tips for a variety of types of birth, so that we can be prepared for whatever is to come. I went into the workshop not realizing some of the fears that I was carrying around birth. Having a dedicated time to write them out and then discuss with the group really eased a lot of my anxieties. Knowledge truly is power. I highly recommend anyone preparing for any type of birth to attend this workshop..” - Chelsea Wiley
Ashley Stachon has been teaching yoga for over 12 years, but found her true calling when she got pregnant with her daughter in 2016 and started teaching pre and postnatal yoga. Passionate about guiding women through the transformative process of pregnancy and becoming a parent, Ashley teaches a strong, alignment based practice where mamas can connect more deeply to their own body through movement, breath, and mindfulness practices. Ashley strives to empower her students by teaching them about the changes that take place in their body during pregnancy and after giving birth. Now a mother of two, she knows the importance of creating a community of strong women that can support each other and she is honored to do that work at Metta Mama.
