On Saturday, June 17th at 11am at the Metta & Moxie studio - we will begin will a pregnancy friendly yoga flow led by Katie Hardaway, followed by a farm to table lunch catered by the amazing Jess Wolfe. The menu will be protein forward consisting of both animal and plant proteins, with an emphasis on dishes that will support for pre and postpartum journey. 

“While the United States has perhaps the most advanced health care system in the world, it also has the second-highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized nation, and many have begun to question conventional wisdom regarding the way obstetricians deal with childbirth. While midwives preside over the majority of births in Europe and Japan, fewer than ten percent of American mothers employ them, despite their proven record of care and success. How do American doctors make their choices regarding the way their patients give birth, and who is intended to benefit? Director Abby Epstein and producer Ricki Lake offer a probing look at childbirth in America in the documentary The Business of Being Born, which explores the history of obstetrics, the history and function of Midwives, and how many common medical practices may be doing new mothers more harm than good.

** I'm offering this to my current + past prenatal yoga student, and doula clients exclusively first, then i'll announce to the public. 

Capacity for this intimate screening party is capped at 8, so space will fill fast!
