Yoga For Mother & Baby

Francoise Barbira Freedman is a trained yoga teacher and therapist, and also a medical anthropologist at Cambridge University. After spending long periods of fieldwork in the Amazon, she was inspired by their gentle approach to parenting to create a programme of nurturing movements for mothers-to-be and new mothers. She also established Birthlight, a charity that has trained over 1500 instructors to teach new parents the benefits of yoga for babies in many countries in Europe and the rest of the world.
