I offer perinatal classes that focus on how your body feels during pregnancy, preparation for birth and also supports your connection with baby
Christine is a practising midwife and has three children. Her yoga practice supported her during pregnancy and birth. She has practiced in all area's of maternity care with a strong career development in antenatal education and birth preparation.
Yoga has been part of her life since 1993. After she had her third child she decided that she wanted to become a yoga teacher and share with others how the practice of yoga can support a more comfortable and informed pregnancy and birth. Her knowledge, skill and experience in both yoga and midwifery combine to offer bespoke classes that are centred around how you show up to class.
Christine has combined her wide variety of training to develop person centred perinatal yoga with a commitment to also bringing baby mindfully into the practice, feeling connected to baby during pregnancy has a powerful impact on your readiness for baby's arrival.
What is also valuable about the classes she offers is that they are inclusive, sensitive and holistic. There is an opportunity for community connection and friendships, with an offer of an optional sharing circle each week at the start of class. Clinical advice is not part of the practice but she can signpost as necessary.
A typical perinatal yoga class is 75 minutes.
The practice is grounded and modified for pregnancy, set at a slower pace to give you time to feel into your changing body building resilience and confidence to tap into your own wisdom and intuition.
This empowering practice supports you to have advocacy for both you and baby. There are specific breathing and posture practices within each class to help prepare you for birthing.
The class always ends with deep rest supported by props.
Christine also offers couples birth workshops and 121's - please contact her directly.
