Cathy is fantastic. I attended pregnancy yoga with both my pregnancies and she helped me maintain mobility despite many physical issues.
I also found the sessions relaxing and a quiet moment to just focus on me and my new baby in an otherwise hectic week.
I also made some great friends who 5 years down the line I still see regularly and my eldest has friends to play with she’s known since she was a bump!
Strongly recommend Cathy!
I went to both Cathy’s pregnancy yoga and baby yoga. Pregnancy yoga was lovely and calming and useful for breathing practice and other positions. Baby yoga was a lot of fun and both baby and mum benefit.
I do Cathy’s yoga online and it’s fabulous. Relaxing and re-energising. Working with your body whatever your abilities. If I lived in Wiltshire I would go to a face to face class. Book now you won’t regret it! Denise
My daughter and I loved yoga on zoom and even more in person. A lovely time every week for the two of us to focus on each other.
I attended Carhy Welch’s yoga class from 17 weeks pregnant to delivery. I hadn’t done yoga before and it was my first pregnancy so I was unsure what to expect, but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Cathy’s knowledgeable and gentle approach made me feel like I was in safe hands, and the group was very welcoming. Several of the women were attending the classes for their second or third time, and I’ll certainly plan to go again if I have another baby. The yoga exercises were great for helping to keep my body supple during pregnancy and I used several of the breathing techniques during my labour which helped me to control the pain and achieve the delivery that I wanted. At the class we discussed lots of different aspects of pregnancy, labour, delivery and motherhood in a safe environment which gave me the confidence to chose my own path. Thank you Cathy for your part in helping me having the perfect birth experience!
I attended the Holistic Birth prep yoga class run by Cathy Welch as a second time mum to be.
The class consists of yoga, breathing, and relaxation. Plus the added benefit of sharing experiences with other local women and making friends.
The gentle yoga exercises kept me supple and Cathy was even able to adapt many of the exercises to allow me to complete them with very uncomfortable SPD which was great.
The breathing and relaxation element of the class was a very enjoyable and provided a way to allow me to really prepare for the birth.
All in all- a great class with a great teacher! I did this along side the Holistic Birth prep’s Natal Hypnotherapy course and the two courses complimented each other perfectly enabling me to have a truly amazing birth. Thank you to Cathy and Holistic Birth Prep!

I have attended this class during both my pregnancies. I found the yoga really helped with my SPD, and was the one chance each week for me to relax and concentrate on myself and my bump. The breathing exercises really helped my with my homebirths. I recommend this class to all my pregnant friends 🙂
