Antenatal Classes
AnteNatal Full Day Workshops
Taught by Paula Mitten (yoga teacher with over 750 hours of training and 5 years teaching experience) and Brenda Murphy (Midwife, Prenatal Yoga teacher, Public Health Nurse and Mother of 3).
This one day antenatal course is a brand new style of antenatal class which is different to any other course. It combines Brenda’s midwifery and public health nursing experience with Paula’s in depth knowledge of the ancient tradition of yoga. Not only will you learn everything you need to know about the labour and birth itself and what the hospital will usually offer you throughout your birth experience but you also get a much deeper knowledge of how the body actually works during labour and what you can do to create an easier, safer and overall better birth experience. You will get to try out many birthing positions using various supports and props with lots of opportunities for questions.
We aim to give women back their innate power in childbirth and encourage new mums to feel confident and in control of their own birth experience!

- Final weeks of pregnancy - preparation for labour and the new arrival
