Course structure

This is a unique birth prep course which combines yoga and hypnobirthing to deliver a complete package to physically and mentally prepare you for birth.

Most trainers only offer hypnobirthing, or yoga - this course covers both, saving you time and money. Hosted at the stunning Victoria Hall in central Saltaire, which is easily accessed by train or car from Leeds, Bradford, Bingley, Guiseley, Ilkley and beyond.

This group course is made up of four weekly classes.

We will share a session covering all things birth - including hypnobirthing practices, pain relief, what happens during birth, your choices, setting up your birth room and so much more. There will be specific sections on how to prepare for a planned or unplanned C-section.

Each class will end with a 30 minute prenatal yoga session, which focuses on poses to help strengthen and relax your mind and body, develop pelvic floor awareness, and practice helpful positions for an active labour. A short relaxation and visualisation session also forms part of each class.

There’s plenty of time for group discussion. Groups are between 1 and 5 pregnant people and their birth partners, so classes are kept small and friendly.

Mother Your Way also offers local meet ups so you can continue to meet other like-minded parents.

Please note, the final 30 mins of this class is a dedicated prenatal yoga & relaxation (with visualisation) class. We suggest that birth partners do not attend this section.

There are plenty of local spots in the village for a drink & a chat with other birth partners.

If you’d like more information, please get in touch.

Mother Your Way is all about doing things on your terms. It’s a 100% judgement free zone and we never encourage one ‘type’ of birth over another. This course also features specific content on preparing for a C-section.

And we love evidence based practice. That means there’s not much woo-woo stuff in our courses. But there’s a lot of information and recommendations that are based on robust research and evidence.
