Pregnancy Yoga Relaxation from Module 3 of the Pregnancy Yoga Course...
Dear Fellow Mum-To-Be
Welcome – and congratulations on your pregnancy!
You’re in the right place to prepare your body and mind for a profound andpositive pregnancy and birthing experience,
You’ll discover gentle exercises to make you stronger, and proven to help you alleviate most of the common ailments you’ll experience during your pregnancy, such as
- Fatigue
- Back pain
- Constipation
- Excessive weight gain
- Anxiety
- " How will I cope with the pain "
- " What if it’s a long labour – where will I get the strength "
- " Am I fit enough to carry this baby to full term "
- " How do I know I’m doing the right exercise for my baby "
- And the one that creeps up on you in the dark times when you can’t sleep "I’m just plain scared of what’s happening – I don’t feel in control"
Well, rest assured, you’re not alone in your thoughts – we’ve all been there!
I know from personal experience the joys and fears of pregnancy and birth…
When I had my first baby, I had no idea what to expect – and I was shocked when I went into labour - I panicked, not realising my body was instinctively doing what was needed
At that time I didn’t have the specialist knowledge and qualifications I now have as a Pregnancy Yoga teacher
And now I’m pregnant with my second child I know it will be SO different this time around!
I took up yoga in 2002, and practiced at classes, retreats and meditation workshops.
After marrying and settling in Surrey I continued my studies and qualified with Brenda Brown, gaining a recognised yoga teachers’ diploma with the Yoga Alliance.
A little while after my experiences during the birth of our first daughter, I knew I wanted to deepen my yoga studies and qualify as a Pregnancy Yoga Teacher
That’s why I’m so passionate now about passing on my knowledge!
I now hold local pregnancy yoga classes for around 40-45 women each week in Reigate, Surrey
These classes are so popular I’ve decided to reach out to a wider audience to help lots more women achieve fitness, strength and comfort throughout pregnancy and labour Here’s why…..
" Pregnancy yoga is a great way to meet other mums-to-be in the area and to treat your hard-working body to a bit of relaxation. Laurence is a great teacher and and the techniques she teaches have given me more confidence in my ability to manage the challenge of labour. I really find that yoga helps me to unwind and I always sleep so much better on Wednesday nights after yoga! "
Becky Mullard
" Thank you Laurence for the fabulous yoga instruction you have given me over the last 5 months. Not only was your class the most wonderful relaxing way to unwind at the end of a week of work, but the strengthening and breathing exercises prepared me well for labour. Counting lengthening the breath and the golden thread visualisation in particular helped me achieve the natural birth I had hoped for. Many thanks."
Becky Rush mum to Oscar born May 2010
" Bonjour Laurence Sorry I have emailed sooner, hope your well, We had a beautiful baby girl 8lb 11 her names Zennor Lois and shes an angel the yoga breathing really worked for me labour was 2 and half hours and just gas and air which is very good so they tell me the midwives said I made it look easy so thankyou for the amazing yoga lessons i will be returning soon and look forward to seeing you... Kind Regards "
Julie Simcock
" Hello dear Laurence, Glad to share with you that my daughter Alise was born on due date - 28 of April at East Surrey Hospital. She is beautiful girl and very healthy baby. I wanted to thank you for all the advices you gave me at your pregnancy Yoga classes. All went very well I didn't use any pain relief during the labour, just follow all the breathing tehniques and right attitude :) baby was 4.500kg,but everything was very natural and without any intervention :) I am happy I had a chance to meet you and attend the classes. Kindest regards "

" I started antenatal yoga with Laurence when I was 23 weeks pregnant and enjoyed it so much I signed up for two successive courses and finally finished at 39 weeks. Laurence is a wonderful teacher, she instills a wonderful sense of calm into the sessions and takes a genuine interest in all her students. When I developed pelvic girdle pain she adapted all moves and exercises to suit my needs, and always checked that I was comfortable and able to maintain a safe position whilst still benefitting from the full effects of the yoga. Despite a busy work schedule right up the end of my pregnancy, I always ensured that I attended each session as the class was the only time each week I was able to take time out for me and my baby, to relax and to focus on what my body could achieve. I also met lots of other lovely pregnant women at the classes, some of whom I now meet up with post birth. I would recommend these classes to all pregnant women. "

You see, it’s so important you find a fully qualified and experienced teacher who specialises in Pregnancy Yoga,
Even if you’ve never done any yoga before, the gentle exercises and relaxation techniques are easy to master – all you need to do is follow me as we practice together
You’ll have all these wonderful physical and mental tools at your fingertips to help make your whole “having a baby” experience one to be remembered for all the right reasons.
And you’ll soon find yourself feeling stronger and energised, and the relaxation techniques will help you sleep.
Now here’s what you need to remember…
Regular exercise will help you cope with the physical and mental demands of pregnancy and prepare you for the birth of your baby,
And the best style of exercise is one that keeps you supple, preparing your muscles and reducing the physical stress for you and your baby
Now, you may be wondering…
Let me explain…
Pregnancy Yoga focuses on the breath for general well-being, body awareness, connection, visualisation and relaxation with the view topreparing and opening the body for labour.
These techniques are recognised by the Yoga Alliance and developed by Vicky Oliver from WhYoga
Specifically...
- By regularly practicing the yoga positions you’ll build strength for an active birth, and encourage your baby to find its optimum position in the last few weeks of pregnancy.
- You’ll soften and open your body, and experience a quiet and tranquil state of being that moves you inwards to feel the connectedness to baby.
- Practicing the relaxation, breathing and visualisation techniques will quieten and condition your mind ahead of labour, helping with anxiety
- Yoga is widely recommended by the healthcare practitioners to pregnant women as a way of keeping fit and flexible.
- The emphasis on breathing makes space for the internal organs, instills mindfulness, draws a higher level of oxygen into the womb and more overtly fosters the mother and baby bond; for you share one breath.
During pregnancy, you’ll find your joints and ligaments loosen, due to the increase of the hormone relaxin, making the body more vulnerable to strain and injury…
So it’s essential you find an experienced teacher who gently guides you through the exercises.
However, when I researched the market I found no on-line courses or videos that included all this vital information, so I decided to make my own series, based on my expert knowledge and the material from the classes I teach locally each week.
We filmed the series in our lovely English garden to add to the tranquillity and peace, And now you can join in and start right away……
You’ll have immediate lifetime on-line access to over 7 hours of practical demonstrations and instruction, broken down into easy to watch and follow video modules, all designed so you can practice in the comfort of your own home and in your own time.
I explain and demonstrate in detail each asana (position), and guide you through the correct breathing techniques, together with meditations specifically themed for pregnancy and birth.
Throughout the 6 Modules we’ll practice the asanas, to help you feel stronger and more comfortable, while gently encouraging your body to stretch and prepare for labour, including
- Seated Postures – including those for warming up the spine and shoulders, and creating space for your baby (great for heartburn too)
- All Fours Postures – helping to strengthen your arms and wrists, stretch the lower back, maximize the space for baby and the abdominal organs, and work with gravity encouraging baby to turn round
- Standing Postures - Strengthen and tone the arms and legs, support the lower back and encourage good pelvic postural habit
Plus, how to tone your pelvic floor muscles, so you’ll be able to contract and relax your muscles at will, enabling you to help your baby move more easily through the birth canal,
And much, much more..
This unique video series can be followed from week 14, during your 2nd and 3rd trimesters and right through to the birth of your baby
By using the yogic breathing and relaxation techniques you will condition your mind with repeated practice to remain calm, even during labour
Imagine how you will feel when the time comes for your baby to be born….
YOU’LL be in control and ready to welcome your baby into the world
How is this possible?
Let’s talk about the hormones released by the brain during labour, and how YOU can play a positive part in this process
- The main contraction hormone is oxytocin which is released by the primal part of the brain called the hypothalamus.
- For this hormone to be released you must remain calm and deep within yourself.
- In particular, any fear, anxiety or even excitement may trigger the release of adrenaline from another part of the brain, the neo-cortex.
- Unfortunately the hypothalamus and the neo-cortext don’t work well together!
- Adrenaline decreases oxytocin which means contractions become more painful, less effective and may result in a longer labour.
- By using the yogic breathing and relaxation techniques you learn from the course will condition your mind with repeated practice to remain calm, even during labour.
Truthfully, with its unique content lasting over 7 hours, this series of 6 Modules should be sold for at least $197,
In fact, some ladies would argue that the knowledge they’ve gleaned is priceless, as it rescued them from uncomfortable pregnancies and long, painful labour!
But I want you to enjoy the most wonderful moments of your life – pregnancy and giving birth – knowing you’ve done everything to maximise this amazing experience so your body and mind are ready and eager to bring your baby into the world.

" Having always been a keen runner I was a little sceptical when my husband suggested I take up yoga at 17 weeks pregnant, but I am always open to new ideas so thought I would give it a go and have not looked back since.
In my second trimester I found it very beneficial as it really helped me learn to relax (something that did not come naturally to me), and throughout my pregnancy has kept my joints supple and given me a greater understanding of how the body and mind work when giving birth. Having just finished my last pregnancy yoga class at 39 weeks pregnant I now feel prepared both mentally and physically for the birth and hope I can put my new found yoga techniques to good use.
I will let you know how things go and in the mean time will carry on doing my yoga moves at home!
Thanks again "
