Birthlight Trust

Birthlight is a UK- based charitable trust that is dedicated to promoting a sensitive approach to pregnancy, birth and babies. It does so through innovative applications of yoga and practical teachings of wise women across cultures.

Birthlight promotes an holistic approach to birth, integrating body, mind and emotions through the transformations of pregnancy, birth and parenting.

Before and after birth, there is a need to help new parents integrate the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of experience, create health and bring about a greater enjoyment of babies and parenting. The goals of Birthlight are to make tested knowledge about birthing, old and new, more accessible in books and videos and also in classes and training courses.

Birth 'light' refers to giving birth lightly, without undue strain on the body and making full use of the breath, as well as to the light that can shine around birth.

Birthlight is coordinated by Françoise Barbira Freedman, a Cambridge anthropologist and mother of four.

We offer several comprehensive and very effective sets of exercises for the woman-unborn child pair and the mother-baby pair. Many of these are extended to men as fathers-to-be and new fathers. They can be practised by all, irrespective of their physical fitness. Antenatal and postnatal aquayoga combine the benefits of yoga and swimming. 'Wellwoman yoga' enhances women's health in depth though the reproductive cycle.
