About the Workshop

​This workshop is an open invitation to expectant parents in any trimester who would like to prepare for the incredible transformations of pregnancy, birth, and beyond into postpartum.

Prenatal yoga is a powerful place to connect to the intuitive wisdom that each expectant parent and baby holds. It is a way to discover the movement and nourishment one needs to feel safe, supported and strong. Come prepared to move and breathe in this hour-long yoga class with Liz, as she helps you reach in and connect to your inner strength.

We will then explore some of the tried-and-true methods for tackling the challenges of labour from the perspective of a veteran doula. Muneera will lead an interactive session on birth preparation, and share some of the best-loved tools in a doula’s birth bag.
​
Join us as we will dig into the most effective ways to prepare the mind, body and heart for the marathon of birthing. A little bit of effort in pregnancy goes a long way in labour! 

About the Instructors

Elizabeth Merkel

​Hi! I am Liz, a school teacher at heart and by profession since 2004. I began my personal yoga practice in 2001, and it soon became a common thread through all my work with children and adults alike, both in Canada and abroad.
​
I soon recognized the profound impact that yoga has on developing minds, bodies, and communities, and received my 200 hour teacher training in 2014. I am now working towards my 500 hour Advanced Yoga Training.
​
I am passionate about teaching Hatha, Yin, Prenatal and kids classes. Yoga is the altar of my daily life, where i am more balanced, spacious, and compassionate.  Through my pregnancy, birth, family and prenatal training (from teacher Teresa Campbell), I realized that prenatal yoga is an incredible place of transformation, support and strength. I am honoured to be with expectant parents and babies on their journeys.

​ Hi! I am Muneera. I am a birth doula and prenatal educator. I have two delightful children of my own and have been proudly helping families have empowered births for the last 12 years.

To me, pregnancy and childbirth is a gift to women, and I take much joy in nurturing them through this special time in their lives. I aim to see families well informed of their choices, emotionally and physically prepared for labour, and well-supported in their transition to parenthood.
​
I am also a part of the collaborative care team at The South Community Birth Program; a team of physicians, midwives, health nurses and doulas offering maternity care and education to the underserved community of South Vancouver.
