Mindful Movement for Childbirth - Women's and Couples Workshop

Women's Workshops: August 25th or 27th October
Couple's Workshops: 15th December
​1.30pm to 3.30pm
Bookings through Grassroots Yoga and Health. 

Develop techniques and explore movement that will support you to birth with confidence. We will cover movement and positions that women naturally adopt to cope with the intensity of the birthing experience. 

Childbirth encompasses a wide range of experiences; there is a time for inner focus and mindful breathing, and there is a time to "lose it" and let our bodies lead us through the storm. 

This workshop is informative, fun and will give you a very clear picture of the nitty gritty of birthing.  ​​It is especially suited to women planning a natural and active birth.  

This class is for women only, if you would like a class where your partners also attend, then come to the Birth Partner Workshop!

Mindful Movement for Childbirth -

Bookings are through Homebirth Antenatal Classes.

This interactive workshop for women and their birthing partners will cover lots of practical ideas and tips to support you in planning your birth.

We will cover the following work:

  • How to support the transition to "labour land".
  • What a woman may need in childbirth eg, hydration, food, massage, privacy, change of scenery.
