Preparing for birth with breath, movement and mindfulness


Through this 6-week course students will be introduced to all aspects of yoga (breath, movement and mindfulness) so as to equip them with key tools for managing a calm, peaceful pregnancy and labour. The focus will largely be on breathing and mindfulness techniques, with gentle, flowing movements to ensure the body is kept supple and strong during pregnancy. By the end of the course students will not only have built up a network of friends, but they will also have built greater confidence in their bodies and minds to successfully manage the weeks and months ahead.


No previous experience of yoga is necessary.

    • Back to the thread... The Gowlett's garden and tables out the front all close earlier than the pub and the landlord is lovely and very considerate.  It is does the best pizzas ever and is very family (and dog) friendly.  As for safety, my daughter worked there aged 18 and has had no issues walking back home after her shifts.
    • Maybe they have changed the system, or maybe I've just forgotten how it works. Mine was installed as a one off after I requested it (having worked out that it would save money). Yes, it would seem odd for Thames Water to install a meter which wasn't requested,  but then not to communicate anything at all to the house occupants, especially if neighbours in the same road said they didn't have a meter! I'm wondering what TW said to EDmummy101 when she contacted them?
    • "Vegetarians won't miss out as there will also be a radish & egg mayo milk bun on offer too." It's a meat shop so I suppose don't expect too much.
    • Anyone got one to sell?
