Active Birth, Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga Classes
SERVICES
Welcome to Active Birth
In 1997 Olivia qualified as an active birth teacher certified by the Active Birth Centre in London. Since then she has been living and working in Sheffield with her husband and two children and has established her classes and workshops in the South Yorkshire area. Olivia's aim is to pass on a wealth of knowledge for the benefit of women, babies and their partners.
WHY YOGA?
Yoga based exercise practiced with an awareness of the breath can help to prepare both body and mind for labour, birth and early parenting. Working with a carefully chosen range of gentle stretches, movements and seated positions can help to alleviate some of the more common discomforts of pregnancy and can help to optimise a sense of health and well being during a time of great change.
