*Birth ball is used for practice of various labor positions, increasing comfort for pregnant bodies, and are a great tool for soothing fussy newborns. Birth balls are highly recommended and a reasonable, worthwhile investment. If you are truly unable to purchase/find a birth ball, I ask that participants share during class.
**Please make sure birth balls are the appropriate size for your height/weight and properly inflated.
