Birth stories that only reflect one kind of body, one kind of family, one kind of outcome.

Cues in a perinatal yoga class that don’t take into account bio mechanical changes in pregnancy for a diversity of bodies.

That everyone is “healed” and ready to resume life full speed ahead at 6 weeks postpartum.

Language used in a perinatal yoga class that assumes everyone in the room is a cis-woman having a “joyful pregnancy”.

Pain or symptoms being dismissed as “normal” without being investigated.

If you’re tired of these things being the norm, and you want to learn more about prenatal and postpartum yoga and movement, we are holding a training this fall that looks at these things through an alternative and holistic lens.

Our next training is coming up in October! Interested in finding out more about us? Keep reading…

Next Wave Birth was born when three humans who have a deep love and reverence for yoga, movement and the time around pregnancy, birth and postpartum came together. Shana had been offering prenatal and postpartum classes and teacher trainings for years when she felt like the stream she was following could be a more powerful river. Shana, Margot and Megan created Next Wave to offer a different narrative rooted in trauma-informed care and gender inclusivity. We saw that together we could make more waves. We all found our way onto this path differently and offer a multi-disciplinary approach to supporting people through their birthing and postpartum years. We are united in our desire to help people feel empowered, informed, seen and held during this unique and transformative time of life. Let’s Make Waves!

Perinatal Yoga Training: For Movement Professionals and others who Support Birthers

We are offering a three part training at

These are 3 distinct workshops that can be bundled for a well-rounded introduction to prenatal and postpartum care. These workshops are designed for yoga and movement teachers, as well as those supporting people through pregnancy and postpartum—including doulas, midwives, chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, counselors, and acupuncturists.

Together, these workshops explore how movement, body awareness, and education can support the experience of growing, birthing, and recovering from having a baby. The series moves from foundational concepts into more in-depth prenatal and postpartum applications.

Workshops can be taken individually, though each one builds on the last. Participants are encouraged to attend the full series for deeper integration. Shana and Megan look forward to sharing their passion and their combined expertise of over 40 years of supporting people who birth.

Please bring:
Something to take notes with; a notebook and pen or pencil
