Bec thought she knew everything she needed to to have a smooth Home birth for her son- after all she’d been teaching prenatal yoga and birth classes for over 20 years at the time. But when her birth ended up in a hospital transfer and unplanned cesarean she started looking more deeply into what had happened, and where she might have missed something. In doing so she discovered a missing piece in how certain movements, actions, and practices are key to creating balance throughout the body, and how practicing this way not only better prepares the body for labor, but also balances the mind to ride the twists and turns of the birth process. Her approach is captured in her new book The Om Births Approach, and in her online pre and postnatal yoga programs available at www.ombirths.com
