Healing Pregnancy Movement & Labor Dance
Tune in for the deep transformational dance of childbirth through tools of alignment with your intuitive body.
In this class, we practice movements and positions that will support your pregnant body, and are useful in labor, encouraging a more gentle and shortened labor, as you and baby work together. This class is based on a model of belief that women inherently possess the vitality, strength, and support needed for a healthy labor and birth.
Topics include:
* body mechanics & posture (optimal fetal positioning)
* mind-body connection & hormonal releases
* relaxation, breathing, visualization tools
* 4th trimester bonding & postpartum pace

Class taught by Gingi Allen, mother, childbirth doula, apprentice midwife, and life-long dancer. Gingi began dancing as a young child with distinguished African choreographers and dancers, as her mother danced while she was in utero. Gingi later performed in troupe African Queens, and began to branch into Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Modern, Jazz, and Azteca. Her style is deeply eclectic, blending afro-based dances into a fluid intuitive process. With the birth of her first child in 2002, Gingi was inspired to support women in the celebration of creation and the miraculous process of birth. Gingi currently supports the feminine divine woman by providing support as a childbirth doula, apprentice midwife, and facilitator of women's wellness events.
