 Frequently Asked Questions:

  • You are welcome to sign-up at least one hour prior to the class start.

    As a small business providing small class sizes, we try to diligently prepare for each student that comes in. Your cooperation in reserving your place in class ahead of time is much appreciated.

  • Brilliant Births offers a space for pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood— but we also deeply believe that community is vital. We aim to create policies that reflect that:

    A student is someone pregnant or postpartum, or women-identifying parents. They may attend class whenever and however they like (we hope often!).

    A guest is someone attending class with a student, as their guest. Guests are friends or family of a student. Unlike students, guests are not currently pregnant or a woman-identifying parent; they may be dads or male identifying. ‘Guests’ as a category exist because we know how important community is in pregnancy and parenthood, and we believe that by allowing students to come with friends or partners we are encouraging community while providing safe fitness for pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

    If you are a guest, simply select that option on the intake form at sign up. We look forward to having you here!
