"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."

“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.”

"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."

"We can’t thank you enough for equipping us with the tools needed to go through this amazing experience. So good in fact we didn’t really recognise each stage until the end! The knowledge and acceptance you taught us enabled this experience and we will be forever grateful. But next time a home birth!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 wanted to thank you for the tremendous support you have been for our family. At antenatal yoga you gave me the confidence I needed to be sure I could manage a home birth. The baby yoga classes have been great for me and Lucy you made me much more confident about how to physically handle her as I am a natural worrier! You also gave me a repertoire of songs which really cheer her up and “twinkle twinkle little star” she does associate with sleep and chilling out. You also provide an environment where you can meet and make friends and I am sure that there are some people I will stay in touch with for a long time. I wanted to take the opportunity to say I think you do a fabulous job and myself, Richard and Lucy will always be grateful to you.”

“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.”
