Pregnancy Yoga with Alice Blazy-Winning - Glasgow

It was a wonderful class and wonderful experience working with Alice. The exercises and talks we had really helped me to prepare for upcoming birth in so many ways, I can't recommend it highly enough!

The pregnacy yoga classes have been fantastic! I cannot recommend them enough. I have just finished the block and so wish I had started them sooner in my pregnancy. Having the time to relax and connect with my baby has been great. I hadn't realised how much I needed the space to chill out and take that time. The breathing exercises and stretches have really helped me feel more prepared and relaxed about the birth. It was also lovely meeting and chatting with other expectant mums.
I also attended the birth workshop which I also really recommend. Alice is so knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. My husband found it really useful too. Thank you Alice for having such a positive impact on my pregnancy.

These classes have been so special and supportive, the most nourishing thing I’ve done through my pregnancy. Alice holds a nurturing space that supports a beautiful connection with little one. The course gave me so many tools and practices to support my changing body and build confidence for birth. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I discovered Alice's Prenatal Yoga classes about half way through my prgenancy and I'm so happy I did! I was looking for a teacher who had experience in Hypnobirthing techniques as well as Yoga and I was not disappointed. As we were in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic Alice taught all her classes via video link and Monday nights became my refuge from the rest of the week. The classes are well structured with a good chance to blether and ask questions. The yoga moves she guides us through are releasing and deep (even in pregnancy I am getting into amazing stretches) and we are guided to use breathing techniques that are beneficial for labour (and beyond). Then with an amazing guided relaxation the end it really is the perfect way to tune into your body, mind and connect with your baby. I am on my third block with Alice and at almost 40 weeks I am still moving so well! Thank you Alice 🙂 and I look forward to joining you for post-natal and baby yoga classes!

My partner attended Alice's pregnancy yoga classes and found them to be a hugely relaxing and rewarding experience.

As someone who was initially sceptical about what benefits pregnancy yoga would bring her, she found Alice's calm teaching style exactly what she needed and her confidence grew each week.

She was hugely anxious about what labour was going to entail as was I, with both of us having never been in this position before.

The more she thought about it the more she wanted Alice as a calming presence in the labour suite as a doula.

From the moment she mentioned this to Alice, Vicky was delighted at how personally involved she was and how genuinely interested she was in the birth of our son.

It was great that she found the time between Christmas and New Year to come to our house to find out more about us and what our plans for labour were.

From then on, Alice was always on hand for advice and was responsive anytime we were in touch, including when we had a false alarm!

When we were actually in hospital, Alice stepped up at every turn, right from the moment when my partner went in for a planned induction, including repeatedly dropping her own family and life to be with us.

Vicky used Alice's breathing techniques which she found invaluable as she progressed through labour while Vicky really appreciated how Alice advocated for her decisions.

From simple things like brushing her hair, giving her water as well as gas and air, it meant Vicky's birthing experience was much more positive.
I also benefitted from her breathing techniques as my partner went through labour while her presence also allowed me to have mental breaks.

She even stayed until well after our son was born in the wee small hours as well as coming round for a visit to see how we were getting on in our first week back home.

I would recommend Alice to anyone who feels they would benefit from a doula. She is a very calming presence, effective communicator and you really feel like she cares about your baby specifically. A five star service.

I attended Alice's pregnancy classes from early in my pregnancy until mid-way through my third trimester. It's undoubtedly the best thing I did during my pregnancy! As I progressed through my pregnancy, I looked forward to each class more and more, and I appreciated having this precious time to connect with my baby, relax and unwind. It's a wonderful way to meet other soon-to-be mothers and the classes are not only relaxing, but also uplifting and empowering. The breathing techniques and positions for labour were invaluable; I felt so much more positive, confident and prepared for labour. I cannot recommend Alice's pregnancy classes enough!

Pregnancy yoga with Alice is essential for any nervous Mum to be! Not only was it lovely to meet other local pregnant ladies, but the class was a great chance to relax and prepare for birth. As someone who thought hypnobirthing was a bit too "hippie" for me the class gave me all the tools I needed to have the calm and relaxed birth I had hoped for! Now I get to continue my yoga practice with weekly Mum and Baby classes which includes baby massage - the little ones love it!

I cannot recommend Alice’s Pregnancy Yoga enough. Including antenatal classes, books and google, it was definitely the thing that helped most in getting me the perfect birth that I longed for. The breathing and relaxation techniques that I adopted in labour meant I was able to have a completely natural birth with no pain relief at all, for a 9lbs10oz baby! Aside from the invaluable advice, classes are also so relaxing and are some much needed time to chill that I looked forward to each week. Thanks Alice!
