Strategies to Prepare for a Smoother Birth Experience with Deb Flashenberg of the Prenatal Yoga Center

If you’re going to be preparing for birth at any point in the near future, this episode is for YOU.

I am chatting with Deb Flashenberg of the Prenatal Yoga Center, all about how to have a more efficient and functional birth through exercise, including prenatal yoga.

Deb Flashenberg is the founder and director of the Prenatal Yoga Center in NYC. Along with being a prenatal yoga teacher, she is also a labor support doula, Lamaze childbirth educator, and mother of two. Deb also hosts the podcast Yoga | Birth | Babies, where she speaks with some of the world’s leading experts in pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and parenthood. 

In the episode Deb shares strategies you can practice to help have a smoother labor, help your baby descend through your pelvis and, ultimately, how to set yourself up for a better birth experience - both mind and body.

This is THE stuff I wish I had known before my first birth and I’m so excited to share this with you.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How imbalance and tightness in the body can hinder birth

  • Strategies for coping mentally and physically in labor

  • Positions to support baby’s descent through the pelvis

  • What prenatal yoga is and isn’t
