All the way through my labour I used what I learnt on the yoga course and at the birth preparation workshop. Because of this, I could make this fabulous journey to give birth to my little one."

For pregnant women with/without their birthing partners, these workshops aim to help you feel positive about labour and approach your baby's birth with confidence and calmness, whatever your situation.

· We discuss how relaxation can help during pregnancy and labour in detail and practice relaxation techniques.

· We explore the benefits of breathing well during labour and practice breathing techniques.

· We look at labour positions and movement in the stages of labour and how this can help to make your baby's journey into the world easier and more comfortable for you and your baby.

· Birthing partners have a very important and valuable role during pregnancy and labour - we look at the practical and emotional support that partners can provide.

· We look at how you can prepare in the weeks beforehand (birth plan, optimum foetal position, massage) so that, by the end of the workshop, you have a range of natural skills to help your baby's arrival to be as comfortable, calm and positive as possible.
