“Khalsa Way was a profound experience for me. As a woman it helped me heal part of my own childbirth process, and connect more deeply with my femininity and creativity. As a yoga teacher, it taught me how to compassionately and safely guide other women through their pregnancy journey using the practices of Kundalini Yoga and meditation.
Most importantly, it prepared me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, to enter into my own pregnancy and childbirth process when the time came. The class was a foundation for me to learn advocacy for an authentic, well informed, and educated pregnancy and childbirth. Khalsa Way became a safe community for me to grow into my pregnancy, both the challenges and joys, fully conscious, awake, and aware.
My labor was very complicated, and lasted over the span of a 3-day period in the hospital. If it were not for the Khalsa Way teachers, the tools I learned, and the embodiment I gained from the practices, I believe I would have had a very different experience and most likely a cesarian section. While I ultimately wanted what was best for me and baby, it was my hearts deep desire to have a vaginal birth. I wanted to birth with my baby, though the canal and I was able to by the grace of God. Thank you, Khalsa Way for all you have given me and countless other women!”
