THE AMSTERDAM BIRTH CENTRE

The Birth Centre is a dynamic centre for expectant and new parents in the centre of Amsterdam. Everything a pregnant woman or new parent needs is available in one centre: an obstetric practice, a maternity care centre, a course centre, a clinic, a lactation consultancy, a day care centre, a complementary treatment centre, and the Birth Shop. All medical services and courses are provided under one roof, in one street. All the departments work together. Everyone is looking in the same direction and this builds trust and gives peace of mind. On this website you can find information on the whole of the Amsterdam Birth Centre and you can register for a range of care and activities.

Antenatal Yoga from  wednesday 20/01 - 10/03/2010
        and                               saturday 23/01 - 10/04/2010      !!!

This is a course designed to support you through pregnancy and prepare you for the birth through simple yoga exercises. Yoga experience isn’t required. All the exercises are aimed at relaxation (for example through breathing exercises), muscle awareness, posture improvement, visualisation, and sound. In the lessons attended by the partners, they learn about the specific breathing techniques you have been learning during the course, so they can support you during dilation and when you are pushing. This course is completely taught in English.
Costs: 115,- for the wednesday and 185,- for the saturday
