It also increases endurance and prepares the body and mind for the childbirth experience. Participants are taught several poses to practice at home after the birth to aid the body in recovery and to reduce stress and fatigue, both common causes of postpartum depression. Breathing exercises are also taught to help mothers create a calm environment for the baby.
Financial assistance is available.
