Testimonials
"As a yoga novice, I didn't really know what to expect from the course but had vague hopes of maintaining some degree of suppleness during my pregnancy. In fact, I gained so much more from the classes than I could ever have imagined. I learned relaxation techniques - a real breakthrough for me, as I tend to rush around all the time and have never been one to stop and take stock. Likewise yoga breathing, which really helped me during the early part of my labour: if you'd have told me nine months ago that I'd simply breathe through six hours of contractions, I'd have fallen about laughing! But perhaps most of all I gained a new group of like-minded friends, all in various stages of pregnancy and all taking the class for different reasons. Since finishing the course we now meet once a week with our babies. A huge thank you to Serena for such a worthwhile and enjoyable course."

"I started pregnancy yoga with Serena in the first trimester of my pregnancy and practised it right up until 2 days before my daughter was born. Having not practised yoga before I was unsure as to how it would help, however I quickly became a huge convert. The week yoga not only helped me stay mobile through my pregnancy it also prepared me mentally and physically for the birth. I had a very swift natural labour with only gas and air and I believe the yoga played a huge part in my achieving this. I would highly recommend Serena to any expectant mum, her studio is beautiful and she is a great teacher making us all believe we can deliver our babies in a happy calm and confident way. It was also great knowing that once a week this time was sacred set aside for me and my baby which was great as we lead such hectic lives it's easy to forget you’re growing a baby!"

"The birth was amazing - it was so much better than I anticipated and didn't need any medication. I used the breathing techniques the whole way through. I think that's what got me through it"

"The best thing for me is actually finding I have relaxation time - very rare!! It’s also great from a mental perspective I think - I enjoy the walk to you, and the weekly pattern of visiting your class. Thank you!"
