Come prepared for yogic movement, discussion and deep relaxation "I just wanted to drop you a little note to say how helpful and calming your classes are. I am feeling pretty nervous about labour this time round and am needing to get myself in a better head-space about it. You and your classes are helping enormously with that, as I knew they would. You are very good at what you do and it's very inspiring to meet someone who is so passionate about what they do." Kate Bull, 09 The pregnancy and birth prep class combines one hour plus of flowing yoga and deep relaxation to ensure your body and mind stays in optimum condition throughout your pregnancy with an additional 40 minutes of birth preparation. This second part of the class is designed to inform and prepare you for the challenges of labour and giving birth and often includes demonstration and discusion alongside practical and written work.

Birth Prep Testimonials "The yoga classes were a weekly oasis of calm; they really enabled me to switch off from the hecticness of work and general London life. The relaxation and breathing techniques were incredibly helpful both during the pregnancy and the labour. The birth prep classes helped me remain calm as the big day approached." Charlotte Dyson, 11 I just wanted to thank you so so much for your classes couldnt have done it without you and you gave me the confidence and positive outlook i needed - all those many positions were certainly a great help to!!!! Anna Prideaux, 09 I have found your classes absolutely invaluable during my pregnancy so far (and so has my partner!) - thank you! Victoria Harris, 09 I just wanted to grab an opportunity to say a massive thank you for your amazing yoga classes which stood me in such great stead to have the birth I thought I could only dream about. Hannah Lawes, 09 Thanks for all support in the various classes I've been to (pregnancy, birth prep, couples birth prep and mother & baby!). I've found the classes really invaluable at each stage and you provide a brilliant service to women in the area. Frith Tweedie, 09 That one labour prep class I went to of yours was great - I actually remembered and used a few things from that, so thank you!! Justine Ray 09 I so loved your classes too and definitely want to come back with Harry to do the mother and baby yoga. Fiona Phillips 09 Little Jack Humphrey Ruddy was born at 10.14pm on Friday 3rd April - what an experience and I just wanted to thank you so so much for your classes couldnt have done it without you and you gave me the confidence and positive outlook i needed - all those many positions were certainly a great help to!!!! Anna Prideux 09 "I really think that all the prep I did with you was the reason I didn't end up with a c-section or high forceps! He was almost there without intervention and all the exercises we did were the reason I was able to labour and then push for so long - and of course navigate the system and fend off the offers of earlier pain relief!"
