Learn which yoga positions you can use in active labour to help bring the baby into the right position, open the pelvis and reduce the risk of tearing - as well ideal positions for resting between contractions.

"...the breathing I learnt at yoga saw me through a 12hr labour. My midwife asked me if I had done a calm birthing workshop! I just explained that 6 months of weekly (pre natal) yoga had made the breathing second nature to me." Rachel, March 2010
