"Pregnancy yoga helped me feel empowered for my second Labour after a slightly traumatic first one. She helped me feel balanced about whatever unfolded and the physical exercises really helped in early Labour. Baby yoga is so wonderful and the highlight of our week. I love the songs and postures - I did with my first (now 3!) and still sing him the songs now. It’s also great to learn things like correct posture and mindfulness postnatally."

“I used all of my yogic knowledge and sensitivity and did not realise until today just what I was taught at Birthlight by yourself (Melanie) and Sally. I think BY is one of the most precious gifts in the world! To change a mother’s experience, the scope is just WOW, but to be a small seed within that journey … I sleep peacefully and thank you for your passed down knowledge.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed Tiffany’s yoga classes – and found them hugely beneficial during my pregnancy. She has a lovely, relaxing approach and teaching style and shows real care and attention; always making sure everyone is getting the most they can from the class.”

"Thanks to the yoga classes and workshops we were able to plan and have the active / natural birth we wanted! I stayed active and gave birth on my knees, my partner knew exactly what I was doing so was able to help and support me as needed. I can’t thank you enough for giving us the tools to have this positive birth experience."

“The Birthlight Ante Natal classes helped us by providing factual information and advice in a structured but informal environment. We were supported to reach properly informed decisions about our preferences for birth. This undoubtedly helped us feel ready for the birth, and as a result of being relaxed and at ease, we are convinced that this helped us in the delivery as well.”

“Sally is a truly inspirational antenatal yoga teacher who has made an enormous difference to my pregnancy. Her approach is incredibly holistic, preparing the mother not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. Her classes include yoga moves, breathing techniques to help with labour, good birth positions, time for meeting other mothers and much much more. She teaches with humour and from the heart. It is obvious that she uses her own experience and that of teaching pregnant women over the years to enrich each class. Many of us speak of coming out of class feeling so much more energised, however difficult our day or week has been. I would describe my class as a sacrosanct two hours in the week when I can escape work/ home/ family for two hours and really connect with my bump. The very high return rate to Sally’s classes is a further testament to her skills. I hope that she can be recognised for her amazing work as she not only teaches her class but trains others as well.”

“The baby yoga classes were the highlight of my week, I felt relaxed and nurtured. I made new friends and we still all meet up a year later. I am sure my baby Matthew benefited form the yoga, I look back on that special time together and treasure the memories.”

“The course exceeded our expectations! We both feel very well equipped to go into birth in a positive way and feel excited about getting things started and going through the experience as a couple. We found the sessions inspirational and an opportunity to explore our emotions around becoming parents. Becky and Sally were fantastic, encouraging, fun and full of useful information. We felt very fortunate to have received some of their wisdoms! We look forward to seeing you both once the babies are in town.”

“Birthlight was an amazing opportunity for me to be in a room with first-time mums as nervous as me. Not only was the ante-natal yoga a chance to relax, but a discussion forum on everything imaginable, from current worries about pregnancy to questions and concerns about the actual birth. This, supplemented with aqua-natal, pure luxury time for mum and bump in the water, made my pregnancies comfortable and relaxing. I made many very close friends through Birthlight. Even after our babies were born, we carried on with baby and post-natal yoga and swimming. Now a mother of two, I am absolutely convinced the classes helped my children be calmer, happier babies. Thank you to Sally and all her colleagues for offering these invaluable classes.”

"I did Bryony's baby massage and baby yoga classes with my first baby and am now back with my second! She's a wonderful teacher with a very calming and relaxing presence, and I love that her classes involve yoga for the parent as well as the child. I would wholeheartedly recommend both classes, they're a lovely thing to do with your baby."
