“I would thoroughly recommend Birthlight classes to any mum-to-be. Whilst pregnant I attended the pregnancy yoga and also the ‘birth preparation’ classes, both were really worthwhile and I am convinced the relaxation and breathing techniques helped me have a very straight forward delivery and the yoga was so wonderfully relaxing! The baby yoga classes were such a great way to meet other mums and to share similar experiences and through which I met some of my closest ‘mum’ friends and Sally creates such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The baby swimming is fantastic too and really builds confidence in the water in a fun relaxed way. I have been to loads of baby/ toddler groups and the Birthlight groups are really special and by far my favourite. Many thanks.”

"Without doubt the baby massage and baby yoga with Bryony was the most memorable and special class I did during maternity leave. Highly recommended. You don’t have to be “into” yoga to enjoy this!"

"I have been attending Bryony's pregnancy yoga classes for few months now and I absolutely love them. I eagerly wait for Wednesday for the class. It is great to see the sense of community she has created in the class where everyone can openly discuss issues they are facing. She does pep and informative talks on various topics for pregnancy and post birth which are very useful. And of course the meditation, yoga postures and exercises we do for pregnancy and birth are great. Overall I love the class and would definitely recommend this to other pregnant ladies."

"Thanks to the yoga classes and workshops we were able to plan and have the active / natural birth we wanted! I stayed active and gave birth on my knees, my partner knew exactly what I was doing so was able to help and support me as needed. I can’t thank you enough for giving us the tools to have this positive birth experience."

"We can’t thank you enough for equipping us with the tools needed to go through this amazing experience. So good in fact we didn’t really recognise each stage until the end! The knowledge and acceptance you taught us enabled this experience and we will be forever grateful. But next time a home birth!!”

"I loved the chance to tune into my pregnant body and really pay attention to what it needed. The classes helped me tune in more deeply to my growing baby and changes within my body. I learned that self care is essential in pregnancy. The classes helped me realise that there is time to practice more self care and simple yoga exercises at home.' The classes helped me realise that my body is capable and strong. I would savour the time each week to have time for myself and my baby. It felt really useful to be able to learn exercises to strengthen my body and relax. All good preparation for birth and Motherhood!”

“I used all of my yogic knowledge and sensitivity and did not realise until today just what I was taught at Birthlight by yourself (Melanie) and Sally. I think BY is one of the most precious gifts in the world! To change a mother’s experience, the scope is just WOW, but to be a small seed within that journey … I sleep peacefully and thank you for your passed down knowledge.”

“I wanted to thank you for the tremendous support you have been for our family. At antenatal yoga you gave me the confidence I needed to be sure I could manage a home birth. The baby yoga classes have been great for me and Lucy you made me much more confident about how to physically handle her as I am a natural worrier! You also gave me a repertoire of songs which really cheer her up and “twinkle twinkle little star” she does associate with sleep and chilling out. You also provide an environment where you can meet and make friends and I am sure that there are some people I will stay in touch with for a long time. I wanted to take the opportunity to say I think you do a fabulous job and myself, Richard and Lucy will always be grateful to you.”

"Pregnancy yoga helped me feel empowered for my second Labour after a slightly traumatic first one. She helped me feel balanced about whatever unfolded and the physical exercises really helped in early Labour. Baby yoga is so wonderful and the highlight of our week. I love the songs and postures - I did with my first (now 3!) and still sing him the songs now. It’s also great to learn things like correct posture and mindfulness postnatally."

“I thoroughly enjoyed Tiffany’s yoga classes – and found them hugely beneficial during my pregnancy. She has a lovely, relaxing approach and teaching style and shows real care and attention; always making sure everyone is getting the most they can from the class.”
