BeginnerPregnant Mums & Babes
The Perfect Start for a New Life
How to begin? Your body and life are changing quickly and the number of important choices that you face as a mother-to-be are seemingly unending.
We offer you a wonderful starting point to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. We can help alleviate any stresses or pains, prepare you for the birthing process, and rebuild and rejuvenate following delivery. Our pregnancy yoga classes often become a mini-community for expecting students.
Unwilling to treat aches and pains or illnesses with medication, pregnant mums can ease their woes with our all-natural therapies.
Relax with an Aromatherapy Massage or Reflexology. Relieve any sciatica or lower back pain through Acupuncture or McTimoney Chiropractic (a very gentle form of structural work).
Understand what you should and should not eat, what suits your body at this time in your life and what benefits your baby – see our Western Herbalist with all your questions.
Try Homeopathy as a gentle form of natural medicine to treat problems such as morning sickness, heartburn, emotional distress or urinary problems. Cranial Osteopathy can be extremely beneficial to both mother and child, helping with colic, sleeplessness and birth-related problems. Check out our recommended baby-related treatments.
Regarding classes, we offer Baby Massage classes for infants between the ages of 6 weeks and one year. These classes are taught by Peter Walker, an acknowledged expert in the field, and are a great way for new mothers to connect physically, emotionally, and spiritually with their babies–as well as other mums. Baby Massage also encourages the development of structural symmetry, sitting and mobility in newborns.
Improve your child’s strength and flexibility, as well as their developing posture and breathing habits! Enrol your son or daughter in our Kids Yoga programme, for children between the ages of 5 and 9 years, limited to a maximum of 10 per class.
TLC teachers specialising in pregnancy and post-natal yoga are all fully qualified and are usually mothers themselves. This gives them the experience and empathy needed to help their students prepare for birth and adapt to the early years of motherhood.
Please don’t forget that our teachers are there to help you. Always let your teacher know of any problems you may be experiencing and ask about any worries which you may have.
Check out our boutique at Edge Street to buy pregnancy and ante-natal yoga videos and books, and organic skincare products (including baby massage and belly oils), which are so important during pregnancy.
