Testimonials

We welcomed a beautiful baby boy las night (Tuesday 12th April 2016) . I had him after being at the hospital for 1.5 - 2 hours. Natural birth no drugs, tearing or stitches!. I used all the breathing methods  from your yoga classes,  and kept calm and relaxed and went with the flow. Thank you again for your wonderful yoga which has allowed me to have  3 amazing births. Love - Kate. 

 

Thank you, Erlinda. Coming to your yoga classes helped to prepare me for labour and dispel some of the fear I had about the process. I was able to use the breathing techniques you teach, which for me meant not needing any pain relief! I was much more relaxed than I expected to be. Your passionate approach to assisting women through this process is so inspiring! - Dr. Catherine K
