Help women and their partners prepare for a positive, informed birth
Yoga for Birth is a practical, hands-on workshop that complements everything couples learn in NCT and similar programmes — giving them the embodied tools to feel calm, confident and even excited about birth.
What is Yoga for Birth?
Yoga for Birth brings together breathwork, movement, relaxation and birth preparation in one deeply practical session. It sits beautifully alongside the theory couples receive in NCT and antenatal classes — offering something those programmes rarely have time for: an embodied, experiential approach that helps clients truly feel prepared. This CPD trains you to deliver it yourself, with Clare's full methodology, materials and support.
A practical complement to antenatal classes
Where NCT and similar programmes teach the theory of birth, Yoga for Birth gives couples the tools to live it — breathwork, movement and relaxation they can actually use in the birth room.
Calm, confident and even excited
Couples who attend leave with a felt sense of capability. Fear shifts to confidence; anxiety gives way to curiosity. That transformation is what makes this workshop so sought-after.
In person in Brighton
Delivered face to face at LushTums' home base in Brighton — you'll experience the full workshop as both participant and student teacher across 12 hands-on hours.
Ready to teach immediately
You'll receive everything you need to launch your first workshop as soon as you get home — no additional prep, no starting from scratch.
What you'll take away
Complete confidence to teachYou'll leave with a thorough understanding of the Yoga for Birth format — the arc, the content, the facilitation — so you can walk into your first session knowing exactly what you're doing.
A meaningful addition to your offeringYoga for Birth sits differently in your timetable to a regular class — it's a special event clients book for, talk about and return to. A format that enriches your teaching and your reach in equal measure.
Deepened birth knowledgeYou'll expand your understanding of the physiology of birth, how yoga and breathwork support the body, and how to hold a safe, informed, joyful space for parents-to-be.
Teaching crib sheet & client handoutsNo starting from scratch — you receive Clare's tried-and-tested teaching notes and the handouts she gives every couple at her own workshops, ready to use.
Personal Zoom Q&A with ClareBefore you run your first workshop, you'll have a dedicated Zoom session with Clare to talk through anything on your mind and make sure you feel completely ready.

Is this CPD right for you?
Yoga for Birth is ideal for anyone who works with expectant parents and wants to offer them something genuinely transformative. You're a great fit if you are:
- A LushTums graduate (Preg YTT, PNY or AE trained)
- A qualified pregnancy or postnatal yoga teacher
- A midwife, doula or birth worker with a yoga background
- A yoga teacher wanting to branch into the perinatal space
- Already teaching pregnancy yoga and looking to expand your offering
"Couples leave a Yoga for Birth workshop feeling genuinely ready — calm, informed and even excited about the birth ahead. That shift is something I never get tired of witnessing."Clare Maddalena · Founder & Creator, LushTums (est. 2007)
A workshop format that works financially, too
Yoga for Birth lends itself beautifully to a workshop format — typically run as an evening or half-day for couples. Because it's priced per pair rather than per person, the income from a single session can be surprisingly meaningful. Clare runs these workshops regularly in Brighton and finds they fill well through word of mouth alone.
