These classes focus primarily on opening the body in preparation for birth, breathing and positions for the 1st and 2nd stages of labour. Advice is given on dealing with the side-effects of pregnancy.

By practicing yoga postures during pregnancy, your body will naturally be able to adopt these positions during labour, using gravity to assist the process.

Unfortunately, today birth is looked upon more as a medical procedure; yoga empowers you to be active during birth. Many positions are practiced to encourage optimum fetal position; getting your baby in a good position for birthing. At the end of each session you should feel very relaxed, less anxious and you may even get a better nights sleep than usual.

From time to time I hold an evening workshop which is a great opportunity for your partners to become involved too. We will prepare for birth practicing birthing positions, breathing techniques and your partner will learn how to help you during labour.

Date of Next Partners Workshop: To be confirmed, please let me know if you are interested.
Venue: Box Hill Village Hall, Boxhill Rd, Tadworth, KT20 7JT
Course Cost: £20 per couple

You will need a non-slip yoga mat, a cushion or pillow and a burst resistant birthing/exercise ball. See equipment page for price list.

If a place is available, you may begin mid term. If your baby is due before the end of the course, you may pay for the classes up to 2 weeks before your due date then weekly at a rate of £8 per session.

New term commences: April 27th

Annette writes; Just thought I would let you know that I wasn't at yoga last week as I gave birth to a baby boy on 9th June at 4.56, 3 weeks early!  He was 6lb 10oz and we have called him Samuel Lewis.  Labour was 6.5 hours with no pain relief but the deep breathing and back rubs got me through!!  We are now enjoying our lovely boy and getting as much sleep as we can :).  Lots of luck to the rest of the girls in the class and I hope all goes well for everyone.

Helen gave birth to Luke Philip Jon at 1.40am, 7lb 12oz and says;  A completely natural birth, no gas and air. I concentrated on breathing and visualisation.  A truly amazing experience and one I am very proud of. The labour was only 4 hours in total and most of that at home, I was back home by mid-afternoon and now getting used to being a mum to a very special boy.
