I moved to Vilanova i La Geltru when I was five months pregnant and was delighted to discover that Centre Yogaom Vilanova was just around the corner from my new home. When I finished working I signed up to their prenatal yoga classes and went twice a week. It had been a few years since I had done any yoga and I was not only a little nervous about doing classes again but I also didn’t know how much I would be able to do whilst being pregnant. Immediately I was put at ease, the classes were tailored to my needs as well as the other mothers in the class. I left each class feeling motivated, positive and relaxed. As a mother herself Mayan (the teacher) understood the importance of building our confidence as well as improving our flexibility and developing practical breathing techniques. She also gave practical tips for before and after the birth. I attended classes up to one week before giving birth. I have a basic level of Spanish so being able to communicate in English was fantastic! I was very fortunate and had quick birth. I was able to use many of the positions taught in the yoga classes and I know that these helped me achieve my goal of giving birth naturally. I am now looking forward to starting regular yoga classes there. (Judith Watt)
