03 | Sharka - Yoga & Mindfulness in Pregnancy & Birthing in the UAE & the Philippines

Sharka shares the births of her two sons with us, the first one took place in Dubai, UAE, almost 20 years ago and the second one in Manila, the Philippines a couple of years later. Sharka, originally from Czech Republic, is a yoga teacher who has travelled and lived all over the world with her family and shares valuable insight in how it is giving birth and receiving proper support in countries that were not her native. Tune in to hear Sharka’s calm voice guide us through her beautiful stories of birth.

Sharka's Recommended Resources:

Sharka recommends a book called something similar to ‘Birth managed by the father’, but we couldn’t find the exact book since it was a while ago she read them, but as Sharka recommends it is wonderful or the father to have some preparation to do as well so here is a link to a list of "Best Books for Fathers to be”. If you have any more recommendations, please just leave a comment below.
