Piece of good news and a thank you from me. I had a normal wake up in the night and some of the worries about birth came to me (as usual) and for the first time the positive messages outweighed the negative ones! I was able to read my mantras, breathe, tell myself that it would all be ok as I'd be with my baby by the end and we'd both be ok and that all I needed to do was trust what my body said. So as a someone who is new to your world of yoga , I'm very grateful for attending - thank you ###

Offering a time and space dedicated to celebrating women, pregnancy and birth. A trusting space where women can devote this precious time preparing their mind and body for the arrival of new life
There is no need to have had a yoga practice.

It is with excitement The Tree of yoga/ Prenatal classes have finally found a beautiful calming space in the heart of Wanstead History. These classes will start from May

Having taught these classes over the last 14 years ,supporting many women within this community ,bringing new life into their arms.The tree of Yoga is all about community and over the decades these communities are still strong.
The ancient system of yoga promotes mental and physical well- being and balance, which is vital during times of transition or uncertainty. Your experience of being pregnant and giving birth will involve great physical and emotional changes and knowing how to use and adapt yoga techniques to breathe, move and relax during this time will help you to lay deep foundations for decades of mothering.” Birthlight

Thank you for the yoga and being able to centre myself quickly, it really set me up for when my preferences went out the window. Each time we were told by a professional, we had to move to the next stage or even when I panicked hugely about getting my waters broken.. I centred myself, asked team to leave the room, did candle gazing, smelt my lavender oil and was calm and it was nothing to worry about! I’m in awe of my body and mind. I also birthed entirely in a blind fold and ear plugs which i hugely recommend. ### ps the placenta is THE most amazing thing when you get to see it

a huge thank you from me too because I also used the blindfold and breathing techniques through everything - CANNOT recommend blindfold highly enough!! We also ended up being induced, we had reduced fetal movement on Sunday morning so they advised us that was best course of action. I was not at all sure as it was so far from birth plan but being able to use all Maxine’s amazing techniques was so, so helpful. Nothing about our experience was what we had pictured or planned but I can honestly say having all your wisdom to fall back on was a game changer. THANK YOU!! See you in post-natal too xx
