Beautiful pictures of your beautiful baby!
Asha Munn Photography is the talented artist who created all of the wonderful images on the yogamum website. She also took beautiful baby portraits of our son Johnnie when he was ten months, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly
Non-religious naming ceremonies
Many parents these days want to celebrate the arrival of their baby, but if they are not particuarly religious, a traditional Christening may not feel right. If this is the case for you, then perhaps a naming ceremony is the solution. Michelle Carter, a British Humanist Association celebrant guided us through a beautiful naming ceremony for our son Johnnie, it was a wonderful day. Incidentally she also conducted our marriage so we can highly recommend her!
Other yoga classes
The British Wheel of Yoga, Yorkshire region website has listings of classes and training courses for Yogis and Yoginis in our region
For older children, Yogabugs classes are great fun! They combine yoga and exciting story telling together. There are a number of classes in this area.
If you are pregnant and not in the Otley catchment area, please get in touch as I may be able to connect you with other pregnancy yoga classs in West and North Yorks
Relaxed birthing
Hypnotherapy can be a really useful technique for birth preparation, indeed I benefited greatly myself through this in my own pregnancy and labour. Maggie Pashley offers a Relaxed Childbirthing course for mums and their birth partners which incorporates hypnotherapy and other techniques to empower you.
Cloth nappies
If you are looking to buy Cloth Nappies, try Baby Bum Boutique. This on-line shop has been set up by Yogamum regular Amanda. She has a great variety of nappies for sale and can talk you through the pros and cons of all the different types on the market.
