During the Pregnancy Yoga Course we will focus on yoga practice which:

• keep the body supple without straining
• boost energy
• relieves stress and anxiety
• relax and promot restful sleep
• can be used to relieve pain in labour and childbirth
• can relieve common minor ailments during pregnancy
  (e.g. swollen joints, heartburn, constipation)
• can help the expectant mother to bond with the unborn baby through breathing and visualisation techniques

The programme of weekly classes offers a comprehensive system for learning and using yoga throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond. Students learn simple but effective breath and relaxation techniques, yoga postures to manage common physical ailments, and visualisation practices to build confidence and assist in easeful birth.

The classes offer an holistic programme of breathwork, relaxation, postures, movement and meditations suited to all stages of pregnancy, from 12 – 42 weeks, however women before this time are welcome to be in touch and discuss the possibilities of attending for relaxation. Pregnancy yoga enhances the vitality, mobility, general health and emotional well-being of the expectant mother; it also provides a valuable quiet space in which to form a bond with the unborn child and to prepare for birth.

The movement and stillness in the class is meditative and deeply relaxing and each student receives very individual attention.

The cost of the classes will be £90 for a course of 7 x 1.5 hour classes, or £15 per class.  There will be a maximum of 7 in the class.

In the past and in present-day sacred traditions, women have known that the womb houses the greatest power a woman possesses: the power to create on all levels. Utilized in the process of giving birth, this power of creation can also be tapped in the birth of projects, careers, personal healing, spirituality, and relationships. However, because the womb stores the energetic imprint of every intimate encounter–loving or not–the creative voice of the womb is often muffled or absent altogether, affecting the emotional, mental, and spiritual health of women and their relationships.

Our day together will be spent delving into the first four gates, which I call ‘the personal journey’ towards the womb space and our healing of sexuality. Gates 1-4 contain our personal experiences in relationship to our sexuality, past relationships and how we truly feel about the opposite gender.

This workshop will cover practices that:

• Clear your (sexual) past, open the womb’s energetic pathways, release toxic emotions, and ignite creative potential
• Prepare you for the path of conscious relating (Soul Mate Union), relationships that are fulfilling and deeply intimate
• Erase contracts and toxic bonds
• Establish an authentic connection with your “Pure and Awakened Womaness”
• Reveals how the awakened womb can also bring about male spiritual transformation

“Womb Wisdom: Awakening the Creative and Forgotten Powers of the Feminine,” is now available worldwide with Inner Traditions / Bear and Company.

We’ve been keen to make our space as comfortable, healthy and environmentally friendly place to be as possible.  Having looking into several heating options, we were very impressed with the benefits of infrared, not only from the point of view of the planet, but also to peoples health, and so decided to install some infrared panels to see our studio through the winter.  You can read more about the beneficial effects of infrared by clicking on ‘The Place’ in the Yoga Naturally menu.

In addition to this, we have installed some natural light bulbs and ionisers, to further bring the benefits of nature indoors, cleaning the air, and also to provide the beneficial effects of sunlight, giving a boost to our energy and mood, when daylight is lacking in the darker winter months.

The space is bright with light coloured walls and floor, catching the afternoon and evening sun.  We will use the daylight bulbs at times in the daytime classes, and perhaps during part of an early evening class.  The rest of the time the classes will be by soft lamps and candlelight.

Private classes have already begun, but we will be starting two new six week Foundation Courses in Dynamic Yoga in November on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, please read the section about “Course Content” for more information.  These classes can be done as a course, or on a drop in basis.  Annette will be teaching most of these classes.  And as for those who like to get up a bit earlier and make a wonderful start to the day, Sebastian will be teaching six weeks of early morning yoga classes on Wednesdays.

While having both trained in depth with the same yoga master Godfrey Devereux, Annette and Sebastian’s teaching styles vary slightly.   Both base there teaching firmly in the clarity of the Dynamic Yoga Method, and you will find that the styles will be complementary to each other.

We will be adding more classes, new courses and also longer weekend workshops soon, so please keep an eye out.  We wish you a warm welcome and look forward to seeing you and embarking on a wonderful yoga journey with you.

Annette
