Yoga for expectant mums
My wife and I are expecting our first child this year as our two of our good friends. Both ladies love exercise but have had to calm things down recently. However, they are both want to partake in yoga classes for pregnant women as well as other types of pregnancy related classes but as yet have not been able to find anything in Hertford (bar the water aerobics at Hartham)
Does anyone happen to know of any classes like this?
Also would anybody know of private anti natal classes that run in Hertford? Due to work commitments I’m unable to get home in the afternoon so we are trying to find someone that runs evening classes as ideally I'd like to know what to do/expect when the time comes!
Thanks for any help.

Also, I know you said Hertford but if Ware is any good my wife knows Pauline Kennedy is very good. My wife was going to do it when she was pregnant & many of her friends did Yoga during pregnancy & afterwards with their babies. Pauline's telephone number is: Pauline 01992 535554

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I found Paulines number on line last night so I'm sure my wife will be in contact with her and I'll get in contact with the NCT.

The midwives also run classes which they will give you infomation about during the pregnancy. The Childrens Centre also has flyers of different activites for pregncacy.

Anne Coleman based in Hoddesdon offers a really good class which i've been attending. She was recommended by my yoga teacher at Ware Yoga. Hope it helps

I also went to Pauline Kennedy's classes and found them great. She also does classes from about 6 weeks after the birth for mums and babies which were really nice too. I am still in touch with my antenatal yoga friends from nearly 5 years ago.

I run baby massage and yoga sessions from babies aged 6weeks which are based in Hertford (Lazy Daisy) starting in March, but for pregnancy yoga Pauline Kennedy was where i went in Ware, She was lovely.

I do know that Lazy Daisy will be offering an active Birthing workshop here in Hertford this summer on a Saturday-something for you all as a group? The lady running the workshop will be the founder of the company, the main lady so to speak!
This is now posted on Lazy Daisy's website:
Daisy Birthing™ Active Birth-day for Hertford: As with our Brighton Workshop (above) we are delighted to be in the process of arranging our launch and taster workshop weekend for the Hertford area. This is a great opportunity for mums early in their pregnancy to gain a better understanding of what our weekly programme can offer and for mums nearing the end of their pregnancy to receive a tailored and time-efficient package to help them understand how to use movement, gravity, breathing, relaxation and massage during their down labour.
This informative and relaxing session will allow mums to meet other mums, plus give an opportunity for mums to bring along their birthing partner to share in the education too. This is the ideal opportunity to learn about our FEDANT approved birth programme - tried and tested on over 1500 women and time after time, successful in helping women feel confident, comfortable and in control.
