Vicky is an experienced prenatal yoga therapist, mother of 3 and natural birth advocate. She believes that the strength, stamina and mental focus fostered by a yoga practice are unquestionably the most powerful tools that an expectant mother can use to facilitate a joyful birth.

During pregnancy you share your body with your developing child and its lifeline, the placenta. Through yoga you can deeply connect with your body to understand the profound significance of these changes. Vicky has devised an appropriate practice for pregnant women based on her own experience of yoga through three pregnancies and her understanding of the important role that instinct plays in childbirth gleaned from two home water births and one home lotus birth.

Vicky’s prenatal yoga classes aim to teach pregnant women to listen to this deeper instinct and attune themselves to its call.posture and breath. The ‘asanas’ or postures are effective at easing tiredness, swollen ankles and shortness of breath. 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.

A mother who connects with her breath in pregnancy will be able to draw upon its support during the mystery and wonder of labour and childbirth. The classes are designated for pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy and are safe if sometimes challenging. You are welcome irrespective of experience. 

Vicky has spent many years researching the physiology of labour and birth and also draws upon her own experience of practising and teaching yoga during three pregnancies.Vicky conducts birth workshops for pregnant women and yoga teacher training in pre and post-partum yoga for yoga teachers which is recognised by the Yoga Alliance.

If you are looking for an individual approach to preparing for birth and you would like to learn more about the physiology of birth then Vicky recommends that you enrol on the one day whYoga for Pregnancy Course (Physiology Module). Here Vicky will guide you through an understanding of birth physiology and teach you how to prepare for the birth experience. This course is incredibly powerful and empowering.
