Apple Tree Yoga and Hypnobirthing

Just had our first hynobirthing session as our boy is due in December, and found it to be the most wonderful experience. I’ve come away feeling confident and ready to support my partner and to make sure we feel strong about what is ahead. I can’t wait for the second session and recommend this to all couples.

We loved doing hypnobirthing with Annie, we came out feeling empowered, confident in our approach and decisions, and feeling like we are going into birth working together as a team. Ani is super knowledgeable, reassuring and helpful, and we learned so many practical techniques, can't recommend it enough!

I highly recommend Ani at Apple Tree Yoga to anyone looking for peace, calm, and respite throughout their pregnancy. Her weekly yoga classes were a little slice of heaven and gave me a safe, comforting space to unwind, share my feelings, and learn lots of wonderful pregnancy related things from both Ani and the other mums. My other half and I also saw Ani at her studio for the 2 day hypnobirthing course and cannot be more pleased with how it went. The facilities were amazing, Ani was wonderful, and we've learned so much which has left us feeling confident, unafraid, and are looking forward to labour! Ani has been so supportive throughout my pregnancy and during hypnobirthing to both my partner and I. We are really grateful for the time we got to spend with her.

I was a bit unsure about spending the money and whether it would be helpful. However, after a recommendation from a friend I gave Ani a try for hypnobirthing. 100% worth the money and time! I had been thinking a natural birth would never be possible for me and I would need a c section. Now I feel like not only can I do it but I want to do it. My husband also got a lot out of course and we feel more prepared as a couple.

Fantastic service and extremely friendly. Helped me and my wife understand what is to come with our first child's birth, and how to stay calm and relaxed throughout the process. I feel way more confident about supporting my wife through labour since seeing Ani, and even supporting her after labour.

I have practised yoga with Ani for 7 years now, first pregnancy yoga, mum & baby and now once a week for much needed respite in the busy week of a working parent! I have also had one to one sessions in Ani’s lovely yoga studio which helped me through a very difficult time health wise. Ani is a wonderful teacher, goes at your pace and adapts practises as needed. Highly recommended.

I first started attending Ani’s pregnancy yoga sessions a when 17 weeks pregnant. As a total newbie to yoga, Ani made me feel relaxed and welcomed from the very beginning and I was able to quickly pick up the stretches and positions. Attending Ani’s weekly sessions was by far the best thing I did when pregnant - each week begins with a catchup which I found invaluable, hearing what others were going through and learning SO much, from what to expect, how to prepare and those all important tips! Every week the yoga was customised to areas that we wanted to stretch and focus on, and we always finished with breathing techniques which were the most important tool for helping with my labour. Thank you Ani for a wonderful yoga experience, I can’t wait to return!
