Course Skills
  • Relaxation - Reduce stress, anxiety and improve sleep patterns. Being in the water is very relaxing. You’ll have a great night’s sleep afterwards
  • Deep Breathing - Deeper & expansive breathing benefits you and baby and is important throughout pregnancy. With practice, the pelvis muscles become part of “breathing”, developing a powerful aid for labour.
  • Preparing The Body - Use the water as a medium to explore and expel fears attached to labour. Explore positions for labour, how to open the hips and pelvis allowing optimal space for your baby.
  • Bonding with Baby - Floating in water offers a unique opportunity to connect with your unborn child. You are hanging in the water, just as your baby is suspended inside you.
  • Best Light Exercise - Pool activities are the best form of light exercise available in pregnancy. Learn variations of classic swimming strokes made to accommodate your growing baby and to support the changes in your body.
  • No Yoga or Swim Experience Needed - Gently guided, step by step, movement by movement and exercise by exercise. And always in the shallow end, so you don’t need to be a swimmer.
