    - Massage techniques to stay connected throughout labor, relax and relieve tension, and encourage contractions.

    - Ways to support both partners in connecting to their baby and to each other during labor, birth, and the fourth trimester.

    Expect to be up and moving around for a hands-on, kinesthetic experience. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and bring one yoga mat and one birth/exercise ball per couple.
