A lovely labour with steady contractions, tens, gas & air and yoga ball (and Percy pig sweets!) Admitted at 4pm and 4cms dilated.  Two large pushes and Margot floated into my arms - just beautiful.  Thank you for all your encouragement and care, the midwife commented on my positions in the pool and asked whether I did yoga - drawing the students attention to how calm and steady it all was.  Feel very blessed (ADE)

Thank you for all the brilliant breathing techniques and the different positions we practiced.  I never thought I'd give birth standing up but it worked brilliant for me (RT)

Baby was born on Saturday, 6am, in a very quick session as they gave me some contraction enhancers to make it quicker because of the Strep B infection risk. Anyway, that resulted in 5hr 50min  labour with gas and air  and a lot of dancing, breathing, swaying (and screaming in the latter stages) !
Thank you very much for all your yoga exercises, help and advice from the sessions and your calm which echoed in me throughout the process.  I used quite a few of the techniques and insisted on getting up despite the drip. I wouldn't have done that had it not been for you and your urgency in recommending it.  (WS)

I have been meaning to email you since the classes finished.  I just wanted to say thank you really, not only for the yoga but the positive outlook!  For the first time since becoming pregnant, the classes actually made me feel confident in that I can actually do this - give birth, and maybe without endless epidurals!  (KK)
