What can I expect from a class?  
*
Yoga can help you become more comfortable during your pregnancy. By cultivating awareness of the breath, you can learn to focus more deeply on your yoga practice and become more relaxed. You will be encouraged to practice at home. This will build on what you learn at your weekly class and will help to increase your body confidence, strength and stamina as you approach birth.

Many of the women who attend are new to yoga, so this class presents no problem to the beginner.

The yoga practice in all the classes is the same. Each week we practice stretching, rhythmical movement, deep breathing and relaxation and during the Term classes, we have time at the end of each class for discussion on any pregnancy/childbirth related topic. These topics can include: Homebirth, Waterbirth, where to have my baby, Birth plans, Nappies and Complementary Health Care during pregnancy.

I must sincerely thank you for the wonderful support and advice you gave throughout the pre-natal classes. I think your passion for your job is obvious; I learnt a huge amount and felt better prepared. I will continue to speak highly of you and the classes to all new mums as I think they're worth their weight in gold.
