ANTENATAL EXERCISE CLASSES

Yorkshire Yoga
The aim at Yorkshire Yoga is to provide yoga classes not only for all ages -- from antenatal to the aged, but also for all abilities -- from the most able to those dis-abled by chronic disease.

Yoga for Pregnancy are sessions specifically addressing mums-to-be. Stretching whilst strengthening helps to release the pelvic opening in preparation for childbirth. Toning the pelvic floor allows for a more controlled birthing, lessens complications and enhances postnatal recovery. Breath work and relaxation techniques are practised in preparation for labour. Flexibility and calm ease the birthing process, thus reducing pain and increasing the joy of giving birth. Our British Wheel of Yoga teacher has also completed advanced training with the Wheel's Yoga for Pregnancy course. This class is usually packed to maximum with people who have booked up to their due date. There is a waiting list for the next available place(s) which should come up within a month or so of your pre-registration. Contact us for a separate Yoga for Pregnancy registration form.

Paul Cairns
To an osteopath, the body functions as a complete, working system, so any problems affecting its structure upset the balance of our general health. The therapeutic principles of osteopathic medicine are based on the understanding that the human body functions as a unit and has an inhent ability to self-regulate and self-heal. For this reason, an osteopath will not simply want to ease the pain and stiffness in your neck, but also want to know what is causing that pain, which could be anything from physical injury to mental anxiety.

Teresa Barron
Working with a broad spectrum of ages, conditions and both men and women has challenged and developed my practice. I am passionate about my work and enjoy seeing people becoming interested and aware of these disciplines in treatment sessions, seminars and presentations.

My main interests lie in treating immune disorders such as frequent colds, arthritis, HIV, ME, cancers; stress management and back pain.

The aim of this gentle, holistic treatment is to encourage the body to heal itself at its own pace and to bring the person back to a sense of wellbeing and health, helping them reach their potential.
