New 2012 - Birth & Post-Natal Coaching Weekends

Group classes are run over a weekend session, lasting seven hours, during which we are able to give you all the essential coaching you will need. These classes are particularly useful for busy working couples, or individuals, who would prefer to learn all the information they will need in one concentrated weekend, rather than attend a number of shorter evening classes spread out over a period of months.
Our groups are informal, relaxed and empowering. We use a variety of teaching styles to suit all learning types, including group discussion, smaller group work and practical skills sessions to prepare you for labour, birth and early parenting.

Our classes are always small and comfortable. The venue is YogaNature in Wootton, Nr Canterbury within easy reach of Ashford, Canterbury, Dover & Folkestone. You will have the opportunity to chat with other couples on the course and start to build those all important friendships that help you adjust to this new and exciting stage of being a parent.
