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.


To book, please call 0208 613 6500.

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
