Birth Breathing Sessions
A way of involving your birth partner so that they can support you as much as possible during the birth of your baby (or babies!). It is an incredible help to have your birth partner there to remind you of the breathing and calming techniques, so that you do not have to think of anything apart from focusing on birthing your baby. The session includes breathing and relaxation techniques, helpful birth positions and a guide through the different stages of labour.  I can also offer advice on birth plans if you are not sure of what to include, or whether to have one at all!! These sessions are arranged around you as much as possible and usually take place at your home. Get in touch with me directly to book a session.

Bring A Baby Yoga
Thursday mornings (classes are now being held on Shoreham Beach
BABYoga is a chance for you to come and practice in a relaxing, understanding environment with your baby by your side. You will have the opportunity to nurture yourself and connect with your baby at the same time. And no baby is too noisy so don’t feel that you can’t come along if your little one is crying! The peaceful environment is very likely to calm your little one. BABYoga helps with baby-related aches, pains, tensions and fears, as well as improving posture to make playing with or carrying your little one around easier and less stressful on your body. I will also teach some simple exercises that can be practised at home and will fit in around your baby.

What the lovely pregnant ladies have had to say about the pregnancy yoga classes…

I loved every moment of my pregnancy yoga classes with Lynne and looked forward to them each week. Lynne has a beautiful calm energy which makes the classes so peaceful and enjoyable for mums and bumps! I would happily recommend them! Francine, Shoreham

Lynne’s yoga classes were the highlight of my week throughout my pregnancy! Her classes were friendly, safe, supportive and restorative but also energising and I really valued that dedicated calm time to connect with my growing baby. Lynne also gives really helpful individual advice on how to alleviate those pregnancy aches and pains as well as breathing techniques that were so important in labour. Thank you! Sarah, Shoreham

The breathing techniques that Lynne taught us were particularly useful for pre pregnancy, labour and post pregnancy calming too.  It was good to feel that you had some techniques that you could call upon in labour to help you focus and centre.  The way the classes catered for you individually depending on how you were feeling and progressing in your pregnancy was a particular strength I felt.  You always felt that you were being looked after as an individual, not just a member of the class.
Lynne’s teaching style was also a plus of the classes for me, knowing she had Pregnancy yoga as one of her expertise made me feel relaxed about the different positions and the advice she was giving, having been through labour once herself and soon to have another!
I loved the 15 minute wind down at the end of the class, being amazed how comfy and relaxing that floor felt at the end of a session whilst I was having difficulties sleeping in my nice comfy bed heavily pregnant!! Sam, Shoreham

“I found the classes so helpful in my last few weeks of pregnancy and only wish I’d started them a bit earlier. I’d never tried yoga before, but the relaxed and friendly sessions, tailored to the needs of the group were great for relieving aches and pains, not just during classes but between them too - I used stretches I’d learnt during sessions every day at home from 37 to 41 weeks to relieve aching back and hips. I also found classes really relaxing and have recommended them to all my pregnant friends” Nicky, new mummy and pregnancy yoga student

Having an older child, attending pregnancy yoga gave me the time and space to focus on my baby and to prepare myself mentally for his arrival.  Unfortunately I was only able to attend a couple of sessions and would like to have done it from earlier on in my pregnancy.  To anyone who is pregnant and considering pregnancy yoga I would highly recommend it….Sally, Shoreham

Why Pregnancy Yoga?

“Giving birth is something that women do with their body, not in their mind, Birthing From Within, Pam England and Rob Horowitz”

A lot of us have disconnected from our true nature, and relearning this will help us bring our babies into the world as calmly and happily as possible. During childbirth, what we employ to support us needs to be like second nature to be helpful. This is why to practise pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation and relaxation techniques regularly during pregnancy is vital. To be able to reconnect with these practises easily and instinctively during childbirth (whatever form it may take) is so valuable. Everyone can practise yoga, which is why it is perfect for pregnancy. Always adaptable, yoga helps to calm the mind and strengthen the body without strain. A pregnancy yoga class can offer a supportive environment where you can rest and recuperate whilst learning useful tools for pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Please keep me informed of any changes that may affect your practise so that they can help you adapt your postures accordingly

Please eat something light a little while before the class to avoid getting too hungry and bring water with you in case you need it

Always practice with caution and stop and tell me if anything doesn’t feel right
