Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some commonly asked questions about what can be a confusing time. You are not alone.
We Offer
Holistic education for your birth journey.
At what stage of my pregnancy should I attend the course?
Radiant Birth is designed to empower you by providing you with the tools and information for the foundation of your motherhood journey. We suggest joining us any time before 37 weeks of your pregnancy. However, if you’re reading this and past this point, please contact us directly so we can discuss your options.
What level of yoga experience do I need for the course?
Classes are designed for those who have had little to some exposure to the practice of yoga in a public class setting, including an introduction to basic poses and proper alignment. We can modify what you’ll be doing based on your level of experience - so you will always feel supported.
Can I just come to one part of the course?
Each session is a progression to the next and we would hate for you to miss out on valuable information, so it’s not possible to book just one part of the course. We completely understand that being pregnant is exhausting and an overload of information can be overwhelming so space in between lectures was intentionally planned so you have time digest and process all the information and content from our course. This format is designed to carve out time for YOU. We know that this is a rare and sacred opportunity for new or second time mums.
What do I need to bring?
Yourself, your open mind and your open heart.
The studio complies with all a COVID-safe practices, and we provide mats, blocks, bolsters, and straps. Just bring anything else you need to make yourself feel comfy and safe.
Journals, pens are provided by us. We also provide snacks and a beautiful lunch each day.
Is it safe to practice yoga through my pregnancy?
Absolutely. All our yoga classes are lead and created by professionally-trained prenatal yoga teachers who are qualified to support pregnant and birthing women. From breath work to the physical practice, the classes are orchestrated to address a growing body and contain a strong focus on anatomy and alignment. Take comfort that our yoga teachers are also mums who have experienced the physical journey of pregnancy themselves. We acknowledge every woman’s pregnancy is unique, so if you have any concerns or health issues please contact our team directly.
Can my partner attend the course?
Partners are welcome to attend all aspects of our course, as we recognise the vital role of birth support and how it unfolds in the birth space. The only exception is the yoga sessions, which are exclusively for mamas and birthing people. Think of this as a pre-mothers club, with yoga at the heart of an immersive group experience. We encourage you to share your learnings with your family and immediate community.
