The Workshops

 
Fitbirds founder Shani Yeend will be hosting 3 workshops: 
pelv
ic floor, strong mama & 4th trimester - all of which are here to serve you in giving yourself a strong body, an educated & intuitive mindset during your most precious ride yet. We will debunk common myths surrounding exercise in pregnancy & so you are able to join traditionally 'non-prenatal' classes or train independently with confidence. Each workshop will be split into two parts, the first conversation and learning & the second part movement.


Pelvic Floor

Here at Fitbirds, we adore your pelvic floor. Within this course we will teach you how to truly connect with your incredible pelvic floor musculature network. Using our Core Method  we use correct breathing to bring you into a calm, present space. We use breath work to physically strengthen & lengthen your pelvic floor muscles & your deep core. By tapping into your diaphragmatic breath we can help prepare your body for the physical, mental & emotional journey of pregnancy & birth. This workshop will discuss the pelvic floor anatomy, it's functions & help you to understand how to effectively strengthen & how to effective lengthen your pelvic floor muscles. We will also navigate a clear path into the safe & effective core exercises you need to be doing throughout your pregnancy.

Strong Mama
Strength training is our top priority through life, especially for women & especially during pregnancy. We move in safe & effective ways to strengthening your body for a strong, fit & pain-free pregnancy. Strength & resistance training will increase endurance for birthing & support a quicker recovery postnatal. We will educate you on why strength training is a non-negotiable & lay out the benefits. We will teach you modifications & variations so you can continue to exercise throughout your pregnancy without any worries of training incorrectly. Exercises include compound & functional strength exercises, LIIT (low impact intensity training) & Pilates techniques. 

 

The Fairy God Nurse

Vikki Warham, aka the Fairy God Nurse is quite simply magic. The Fairy God Nurse is a paediatric nurse, a lactation consultant, a tongue tie consultant & is a cranial sacral therapist (latter in training). During this workshop Vikki is here to harness you with powerful practical feeding support to guide you on those first precious months of your baby's arrival.


The Playful Doula

Jo Onley has been at the helm of 4 of our trainers births. The Playful Doula will host a workshop on retaining your power in your birth, owning your choices, trusting your intuition & the steps you can take to ensure you come away with a positive experience, however that may look. 
 

4th Trimester 

During these important few months you are giving every ounce of yourself to your baby. Navigating your way into mama hood during the 4th trimester is a beautiful intense ride. One which requires endurance, strength & compassion, both physically & emotionally. You will need to rest & recover from birth & allow your body to begin it's journey into rehabilitation. This workshop is here to provide you with 5 fundamental tools to connect back to your body, paving the way for a positive postnatal rehabilitation.
