Birthlight Forums

Hi,

I've been on the postnatal course recently and we covered the topic of the aligned postnatal sitting position today and while I was reviewing it today, it occurred to me that it sounds like we, in our role as Birthlight teachers, don't promote the biological nurturing or laid-back breastfeeding approach to feeding.  What is the Birthlight standpoint on laid-back breastfeeding? Is it  seen as not as good for realignment postnatally? Or is it seen as equally good because it encourages relaxation of the mother's body? Thanks!

Hello everyone

I would like to use more meditations / visualisations in my classes. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for some good books?

Thank you!

Hi All,

Hello all you lovely Birthlight teachers hope you’re having a wonderful year and enjoying your teaching.

I saw something the other day that made me think about a topic for discussion, something that has been bothering me for years but that I have been too timid to address for fear of offending or being controversial.

Aquatic Harmony teach aqua natal and baby swim in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Wiltshire, we have been running for over three years and business has blossomed.  We are currently looking for a Birthlight aqua natal teacher to join us in teaching our seventy plus ladies a week in one of the four locations in Bristol.  One of our Birthlight teachers is now on maternity leave and so we are looking to cover her classes on a Sunday and a Tuesday or Thursday evenings, there could also be an opportunity to teach more classes in 2015.

Hi,

My baby yoga class is interested in having sleep as a topic this week. I don't usually have a theme, so I have a few  questions:

1. Other than the suggestions in the course manual ( gentle hip sequence in early evening, energetic actions to extend playtime, and joint relaxation), do you have any baby yoga techniques that you suggest to help sleep? Are there specific hip sequences that are better than others?

2. Do you have any suggestions on how to help babies sleep that are not from yoga, but are in keeping with the Birthlight philosophy?
