Coming into Being

Birth

Overview:
Birth is both a physiological process and a spiritual rite of passage. In this module, you’ll learn how to prepare your body, mind, and energy for labor through the Ayurvedic lens. We’ll explore how to support apāna vāyu, reduce unnecessary interventions, and hold space for the sacred nature of this transition. Whether you’re birthing at home, in a hospital, or guiding someone through it, this module honors the threshold with both reverence and practicality.
