Join NHS midwife, hypnobirthing teacher and pregnancy yoga instructor Laura Hayward Alfia for a 3-hour workshop designed to support you emotionally, mentally and physically as you prepare to meet your baby.
Whether this is your first or fourth birth, and no matter your birth plan, this workshop offers essential tools to help you feel calmer, confident and informed.
Expect a nourishing blend of:
〰️ Pregnancy yoga to support optimal fetal positioning and create space in the pelvis through movement and biomechanics. Laura will share her knowledge of biomechanics in midwifery—postures to take into the birth room, why movement matters, and how to use it to help labour progress. This is also valuable if you’re planning a C-section.
〰️ Practical and evidence-based hypnobirthing techniques for all types of birth, including breathwork, affirmations and meditations
〰️ Birth planning guidance with an experienced midwife, including tips on navigating the NHS maternity system
〰️ Conversations around birth rights, advocacy and avoiding unnecessary interventions
No yoga experience needed. Suitable at any stage of pregnancy.
If you're looking to prepare your birth partner for labour support, we also have a dedicated Birth Partner Workshop on Sunday 7 September at SOMA Yoga Wandsworth!
