Surrender.
A 4-week journey of learning and embodiment.
Join any week.
Prenatal yoga classes in a supportive circle of women, to nurture your changing body and prepare for birth.
“Surrender isn’t giving up control. It’s a deep faith in yourself and in your incredibly wise body, knowing you have everything you need to birth your baby, and letting go into the process.”
Anxious about what birth will actually feel like.
Full of information, but unsure you could use it when it counts.
Out of touch with a body that's changing faster than you can keep up with.
Longing for women who are in this season with you.
Relaxation practices that help you soften, instead of brace.
Tools you’ve rehearsed in your body, ready to reach for in labour.
Prenatal yoga to help ease aches and feel at home in your body.
A supportive circle of women who understand exactly where you are.
Trust your body.
Honour your journey.
You already carry deep wisdom in your body. Pregnancy isn’t something to get through before the “real” event — it’s a chance to deepen the relationship between your mind, your body and your baby. Embodied4™ gives that relationship room to grow.
Knowing a tool isn't the same as reaching for it mid-contraction
You might have read a few books, or done a birth class. Maybe you know the stages of labour, or you've practised the breathing on paper. That knowledge matters — it's the foundation everything else sits on.
Embodied4™ is built for the gap between knowing and doing. It’s a space to feel these tools in your mind & body and rehearse them week after week, alongside other women preparing for the same thing. So they become part of you, not just your notes.
It's not a hospital class, and it's not another information session. It's a space to practise, connect, and arrive feeling ready — whatever kind of birth you're preparing for.
The Embodied4™ Philosophy
Connect
Real space to deeply connect with yourself, your baby, and a small circle of like-minded women moving through this season with you. It’s the casual chats before and after class, swapping tips on the best pregnancy massage in town, and the questions and help shared in our WhatsApp group. It’s realising you’re not the only one feeling this way. Those connections often grow beyond the studio into real friendships. This is the essence of Embodied4™: finding your tribe.
Prepare
Each week, our opening women’s circle explores a different theme to help you navigate pregnancy and prepare for birth, and with the 4-week block your Embodied4™ Home Practice Guide helps you deepen your practice at home. But the heart of this program is embodiment. Week after week, you practise the breath, movement, meditation and mantras that support pregnancy, birth and postpartum, until they’re no longer something you’ve read about, but something your body knows. So when fear shows up, as it naturally can, you know how to come back to a steady place, and to the task at hand: working with your body and baby, one wave at a time.
Surrender
Surrender isn’t giving up. It’s a deep faith in yourself and your body, and letting go into the process. The steadiness you build each week is what makes it possible. Through vocalisation and free, instinctive movement, you also practise letting go of inhibition, so on the day it’s easier to drop into “labour land”, where your thinking brain steps back and your body leads.
Four weekly themes, on rotation all year round
Each 75-minute class opens with a women’s circle, where we explore the week’s theme from your Embodied4™ Home Practice Guide and share together. Then we move onto the mat for 60 minutes of gentle prenatal yoga.
Join any week — the themes rotate. Earlier in pregnancy? Book another block: same themes, a fresh practice each time.
One makeup class included.
Book the 4-week block and if life gets in the way, you can make up one missed class in a following week.
Pelvic floor & core management
How your pelvic floor and deep core work in pregnancy, and simple ways to care for them, ease pressure and prepare them for birth and recovery.
Everyday movement
Why a morning ritual and an evening wind-down matter for your pregnant body, and simple ways to move through your day with more ease.
Labour
Labour positions and birth preparation for mind and body: the movement, breath and mindset tools that help you meet labour, however it unfolds.
Early postpartum recovery
Rest, breathwork and gentle reconnection — realistic groundwork for the weeks after birth, so your healing feels supported, not sudden.
What’s included with the 4-week block
The Embodied Journal
A quiet companion for the four weeks — not homework, just somewhere to hold what stays with you after class. In some sessions we’ll pause to reflect and write down whatever comes up for you, using it as a way to connect inward. Week by week it becomes a record of this season in your own hand, and a keepsake long after your baby arrives.
Local resource guide & special offers
Local practitioners I trust to offer genuine, holistic continuity of care, from women’s health physios and acupuncturists to perinatal psychologists, nutritionists, lactation and sleep consultants. Some offer Embodied4™ participants special deals, like 10% off the She Births® course. Plus key support contacts for crisis, health, feeding and mental wellbeing, all in one place.
Embodied4™ Home Practice Guide
Your guide to the four weekly themes — pelvic floor & core management, everyday movement, labour, and early postpartum recovery. The key knowledge we explore together, with simple home practices to support your pregnancy and prepare you for birth and beyond.
WhatsApp community group
A space to stay connected with the other women between classes — to share questions, check in and feel supported through the weeks in between.
Every Wednesday, a space for you and your baby.

Bianca Ducharme
A birth doula, women’s health Pilates and prenatal yoga teacher with a background in social work — so she understands the changes your body is going through, and knows how to hold the space so you feel truly supported.
Her own two pregnancies and births taught her what training couldn’t: the tools only help when your body already knows them. Embodied4™ is the program she wishes she'd had — built to turn what you know into what your body remembers.
In their words
Nicole
“Bianca actually makes sure we know each other. She creates the space for it at the start of every class, so within a couple of weeks it stopped feeling like a class I turned up to and started feeling like my people. I've never had that anywhere else.”
Jenny
“I had no idea what I was still allowed to do at 24 weeks and was scared of doing the wrong thing. Bianca explains why we're doing everything, which I really needed. I still don't know how birth will go, but I feel a lot less like it's just going to happen to me.”
Rachel
“My lower back and hips had been at me for weeks. I genuinely wasn't expecting one class to change much, but I walked out and could feel the difference. And it's not just on the day — it's the days in between that got easier too.”
Frequently asked
How much does it cost?
The 4-week block is $120 (that’s $30 a class, saving you $20). A casual class is $35. The block includes all four weekly themes, one makeup class, your Embodied Journal, your Embodied4™ Home Practice Guide, the local resource guide with special offers, and our WhatsApp community group. Everything you need is included.
What should I bring?
Just you, whatever you’re comfortable moving in, and a water bottle. Mats and props are all provided — and there’s always tea waiting at the studio if you fancy a cup. There’s nothing else to prepare. Simply show up.
How far along do I need to be?
This program is welcoming across all trimesters for low-risk pregnancies, whatever stage you’re at. If you have any specific concerns, check in with your care provider first. We ask about your medical history at booking, so we can adapt and support you exactly where you are.
Is it in-person or online?
You’ll move together in person, in a warm small-group setting — that shared energy is part of what makes this program special. And if you miss a week, the 4-week block includes one makeup class.
Can I join partway through?
Yes — the four weekly themes rotate all year round, so you can start in any week that suits you. Book the 4-week block and you’ll move through all four themes, whichever one you begin with. And if you’re earlier in your pregnancy, you’re welcome to book another block and keep deepening your practice. You’ll revisit the same themes, with a fresh yoga practice each time.
Can I catch up if I miss a class?
Of course — life with a growing belly doesn’t always go to plan, and we’ve built the program around that. With the 4-week block, you can make up one missed class in a following week, so you don’t lose that session.
What if I need to reschedule or can’t continue?
Because our venue is booked in advance, we’re not able to offer rescheduling. If you’ve booked the 4-week block, one makeup class is included, so you can catch up on a session you miss. Once booked, we’re unable to offer refunds — think of it as a gentle commitment to yourself. This does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
