The National Childbirth Trust will be running postnatal courses monthly throughout the year on Tuesdays.
Classes will be covering a variety of subjects for new parents and carers with their babies, including weaning and more.

Yoga for Stress ~ no class 14th August
1-2pm
This class will help release deep-seated tension, sometimes long held and so engrained in one’s physique, that it is often unnoticed until an issue/problem arises.
Using the breath and increasing awareness in movement and asanas (yoga postures) this tension can be let go of, so the body can open, the breath can restore and the mind can settle and clear. From here the work in strengthening, integrating and harmonising the mind, body and breath begins.
Audrey has been teaching yoga since 2002 and practicing since 1985 and is qualified in the tradition of Krishnamacharya, as well as holding a British Wheel of Yoga diploma. She is influenced and inspired by John Stirk, Vanda Scaravelli, and TKV Desikachar.
Visit Audrey’s website here.
The cost of this class is £13 to drop in, where space is available, or 6 classes for just £66 (please note that the 6 classes must be taken within a two month period from purchase date).
