This is what women are saying about Pregnancy Dance Classes with Riga Forbes:

"I feel oxygenated, limbered-up and relaxed for the first time in ages!"
(Genevieve, Lewes)

"A liberating experience, taking you away from the day-to-day - the weight and the waddle - into a free space of movement and release! Great space"
(Fran, Seaford)

BIRTH  VISION

With Riga Forbes

Birth Vision is a unique birth preparation course that develops self-confidence, birthing skills, creativity, well-being and a deeper connection to the process of pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

The course itself is spread out over 6 sessions and each one provides the space to engage with a different aspect of inner nourishment and support as well as learning practical techniques to prepare for birth.

Each session incorporates a rhythm of activity and rest which are explored through dance, breathing and meditation, vocal-toning and painting. Together these work to bring about an all-round sense of deep relaxation and well-being to body, mind and heart.

Through providing a space to share our stories, Birth Vision also creates a trusting group environment where supportive friendships can be made. The feeling of sisterhood that this can bring enriches the journey of motherhood for both new mums and for those with children already.

The approach we take in Birth Vision is that a mother’s greatest gift is her ability to listen to herself. She can learn methods to develop this further but essentially it is she who holds the key to understanding her body, her birthing experience and her baby. 

And she is always supported to step into her own sense of empowerment and inner-freedom to do this.

“Taking time to relax and to move has been great. It has given me time to calm my mind and become more in touch with my body… All women should have the chance to gather in a relaxed place where they can explore the coming birth and their emotions”
