Birth Prep
Birth Preparation
Giving birth can be a life-changing event. A good preparation, both physically and mentally can make a tremendous difference for the way you experience the birth of your baby. The aim is not to be in control, in fact, being well prepared and knowing your wishes and options, allows you to let go more fully and focus on the process of birth.
We offer different options to be well prepared for birth, for you as a mom-to-be and perhaps with your (birth) partner together.
Group Class or Course:
- We offer a monthly comprehensive Birth Prep Course of 2 x 2 hour classes on a Friday evening, always in English.
- We offer a more compact Partner Class of 2 hours on a Friday evening, which is taught in English every other month.
We advise you to plan a birth prep course or class around your 35th week of pregnancy. Read more about our group and private Birth Preparation options.

What do they think of our classes?
“I honestly couldn’t be more thankful for your guidance and advice. I basically gave birth using the birthing exercises and positions you suggested. Thing is, they were very impressed by my movements and the breathing. I gave your name to all the personnel that helped me deliver my baby. They couldn’t believe I gave birth based on yoga coaching.
To be honest I will miss our prenatal sessions having also my little one in my tummy. But I’m looking forward to our next classes. I enjoy yoga a lot but you are one of the few instructors that motivated me so much to keep going. Thank you very much again for everything.”
