About Us

Inspirational sessions

“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.”

I appreciate it more than I can say

“I want to thank you (Julia) so much for the help you gave in those last few weeks and for labour itself. The classes helped me from going mad in those overdue weeks, and your gentle advice was crucial in enabling me to get through every contraction, breathe through and let each one go. I truly did not know my body could do that but I didn’t need any drugs apart from gas and air from stitches. I wanted to give the baby the most natural journey into the world, and give us the best chance of bonding and feeding. It is still incredible to me that this was possible. So I want you to know I appreciate it more than I can say.”

Tuning into my growing baby

"I loved the chance to tune into my pregnant body and really pay attention to what it needed. The classes helped me tune in more deeply to my growing baby and changes within my body. I learned that self care is essential in pregnancy. The classes helped me realise that there is time to practice more self care and simple yoga exercises at home.' The classes helped me realise that my body is capable and strong. I would savour the time each week to have time for myself and my baby. It felt really useful to be able to learn exercises to strengthen my body and relax. All good preparation for birth and Motherhood!”

Most memorable and special class

"Without doubt the baby massage and baby yoga with Bryony was the most memorable and special class I did during maternity leave. Highly recommended. You don’t have to be “into” yoga to enjoy this!"

Yoga was so wonderfully relaxing

“I would thoroughly recommend Birthlight classes to any mum-to-be. Whilst pregnant I attended the pregnancy yoga and also the ‘birth preparation’ classes, both were really worthwhile and I am convinced the relaxation and breathing techniques helped me have a very straight forward delivery and the yoga was so wonderfully relaxing! The baby yoga classes were such a great way to meet other mums and to share similar experiences and through which I met some of my closest ‘mum’ friends and Sally creates such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The baby swimming is fantastic too and really builds confidence in the water in a fun relaxed way. I have been to loads of baby/ toddler groups and the Birthlight groups are really special and by far my favourite. Many thanks.”

Classes helped my children be calmer, happier babies

“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.”

Feeling ready for the birth

“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.”

Highlight of our week

"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."

Baby Yoga is one of the most precious gifts in the world

“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.”

Wholeheartedly recommend both 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."
