The Complete Birth Preparation Package is a fully comprehensive antenatal course and covers everything you and your birth partner need to prepare for labour, birth and early parenthood.  

​

This 12hr in-person course is held at the Choose You Yoga Studio in Livingston, West Lothian over 2 days. Perfect for you to learn all the skills you need to have a calm and positive birth experience as well as how to master some baby-care tips and ways to cope during those first few weeks as a parent.
