Practice for your birth!

It’s human nature to move away from discomfort. But in our prenatal yoga classes, we discuss how to raise your threshold of discomfort by allowing yourself to be safely uncomfortable.

Not only does this raise your tolerance for sensation, but you can discover which tools you find useful when coping with discomfort.

All this can be incredibly useful when preparing your mind for any type of birth scenario.

So if you don’t want to explore this in mock contractions, screaming toe stretch, or long held Warrior II pose, consider trying the 1-Minute Ice Cube test!

➡️This is done by holding one or more ice cubes in your hand for a minute, which is the average length of a contraction. (Truth be told: I often have my Childbirth Ed students use a whole bowl of ice instead of just one cube)!

❤️During this very uncomfortable time, you can explore where tension builds in your body and how to consciously relax it. You can notice if you prefer to have your eyes open and focused on something, or closed and focused inward. Maybe you notice you gravitate towards a mantra, sound, or counting. You may also discover how movement and touch can be of use.

It’s easy to hypothesize what you may like to do when uncomfortable, but you can learn a lot by actually putting yourself in a safe but strong sensation and learning to move through it.

Try it and let me know what you think!
