Nurturing and supportive classes for mums-to-be. Take time to calm your
mind, to connect with your changing body and your growing baby, and to enjoy
this precious time in your life.
Come and join me, and a small group of soon-to-be mums, for a peaceful hour of
yoga, breathing, and guided meditation. Classes are devoted to ladies who are
expecting and no previous yoga experience is needed but you will need to be in
your second or third trimester of pregnancy.
We practice gentle yoga including flowing yoga poses to release any tension or
pain in your lower back, neck, or shoulders, and to help you develop an awareness of
your changing body.
We will learn the powerful breathing techniques from Hypnobirthing to help you to relax.
You will also find these techniques beneficial during labour.
We end the class with a guided meditation to soothe your body and mind, leaving
both you and baby feeling calm, tranquil, and nourished.

Client Testimonials
Thank you for the yoga course, I had a lovely time there. My little angel was born on the 12th of September. The delivery was peaceful and calm and happy. I'm very thankful for the hypnobirthing techniques that I learnt, which helped me tremendously. No painkiller was used and no tears or stitches were needed.
Orshi, Maidenhead
The yoga classes were amazing, thank you! I just remember being in the birthing pool moving one arm, breathing and imagining I was in yoga class. It helped so much.
Hannah, Bourne End
My birth did not go quite to plan but all I can say is that the yoga breathing helped massively to get through everything that was thrown at me! Thanks Viv, I felt so strong!
Claire, High Wycombe
My husband and I did Vivien’s hypnobirthing course when we were about 24 weeks pregnant. This was the first of any birth preparation we had done. Viv’s calming and gentle manner put us at ease immediately, and it was great to do the course with another couple at a similar stage to us. I finished the course feeling much more confident in my body’s ability to know and do what it needed to do when the time came. The course also initiated many important discussions between my husband and I about our options / preferences / hopes. I used the meditation tracks to help me get to sleep during the third trimester, and used the affirmations around my bedroom. We felt empowered and positive going into the birth of our daughter.
