How can yoga improve my pregnancy and birth?

Yoga should be the first choice of exercise for any pregnant woman. Widely recommended and promoted by midwives and doctors, it is considered the safest all round exercise for women during pregnancy and an ideal birth preparation programme.

Classes suit all stages of pregnancy from 14 - 42 weeks.

Our ongoing 12 week pregnancy courses cover everything the pregnant mother needs to keep her fit and well during her pregnancy, remedy many of the common pregnancy complications like back pain and oedema and prepare and empower her physically, emotionally and spiritually for birth. After one hour of yoga, we end with fifteen minutes of healing deep relaxation allowing the body to release tensions, the mind to become still and the mother to create a deeper connection with her growing baby.

"A huge thankyou for your inspirational classes And wise words on empowering yourself with Knowledge, we had such a great experience Delivering evie at home."  Laura Hilton, 2011
