Welcome To The Active Birth Centre

We are the original! Our classes and courses offer you a unique experience you will not find anywhere else. We get to know you, and offer you the time, space, support, knowledge and complete programme you need before and after your birth. I invite you to come along to one of our amazing yoga classes, meet our wonderful and experienced teachers, relax in our fabulous space or treat yourself in our complementary therapy clinic. We are here to make every day of your journey into parenting a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience.
