This class is suitable from 14 weeks until birth.

Congratulations! Discovering you are pregnant can be a magical moment.
But it is also a time of emotional ups and downs; of readjustment as your body starts to change, and, the excitement may be tinged with fear.

Gentle yoga helps take care of your body while guided visualisations and breathing techniques help to bring a sense of calm and ease anxiety.

Yoga can help overcome minor ailments such as:

• Back ache
• Tired legs
• Indigestion/heart burn
• Oedema (swelling)
• Carpel tunnel syndrome
• Sciatica
• Insomnia
• Varicose veins

Gathering with others can build a useful support network now and for when the baby is born.

This class is not just for first time Mums! It can be invaluable for ‘old hands’ to have an hour bonding with your new baby and taking care of yourself.

A small part of the class each week is dedicated to preparation for labour and delivery.

Techniques are learnt to aid you through the early contractions and for some these may be enough to carry you through established labour to delivery. Learning breathing and postures for labour and delivery can take some of the mystery out of the event.

The Birthlight Trust is an educational charity that promotes an integrated, holistic approach to pregnancy, birth and babyhood. Its main objective is to enhance well being and enjoyment for parents and their babies before and after birth.
