Introduction

*
*
*

* Caitlin Heavey has been successfully running YogaBirth classes and Birth Preparation Workshops for Couples for over 12 years, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge which has fed into the ElementalBirth service. The classes and workshops are suitable for all pregnant women, but those choosing pool hire should find it particularly complementary.

The YogaBirth style of yoga encourages each woman to find her own limits and to challenge her body to build her stamina and endurance in preparation for birth. Many of the yoga poses taught are similar to birthing positions. By practising these positions throughout her pregnancy, a woman can prepare for labour and find her own unique way to birth her baby.

YogaBirth will encourage a woman to focus on her breathing just as she will in labour, to harness her birthing energy and to connect deeply with her baby.

These classes are also a resource for women to ask questions and to share information with other expectant mothers about their pregnancy experiences.

All YogaBirth Classes and The Essential Birth Preparation Workshop, are held at Mulberry House, a Complementary Health Practice in the West End of Edinburgh. Women who attend YogaBirth classes can enjoy a number of treatments that are safe and effective complements to their ante-natal care. These include Massage for Pregnancy, Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Osteopathy, Reflexology and Cranio- sacral Therapy. Treatments are also available for your partner to support the transition to parenthood.

After the birth, Mulberry House offers classes for parents and babies including Baby Yoga, Baby Chi and Baby Sing & Sign as well as individual treatments.

Please contact Mulberry House for details.
