Active Birthing classes combine yoga-based movement, antenatal and active birth education, breathing techniques, guided relaxation and peer-to-peer support.

​

The perfect accompaniment to the Parent Prep course, or serving equally well as a standalone option, I aim to help you to learn your antenatal education and active birth techniques in a truly effective way.

​

Classes are movement based. We practice these movements along with learning about different breathing techniques to help you during your pregnancy and prepare your body for labour.

​

We also aim to encourage your baby into an optimal position and repeat movements to build muscle memory, so everything is in place for your baby’s birth.

​
