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.

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.
PREPARATION FOR BIRTH
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.
Mindfulness is also an excellent way of preparing for birth and parenthood . Please read the mindfulness page for fuller information and contact me to discuss whether this approach would be of benefit to you. This is a testimonial from one woman who attended the mindfulness course:
