Caron Millard

Yummy Yoga Mummies is ran by Caron Millard, a Registered Midwife who has worked full time as a Midwife for 22 years and who has a vast wealth of experience to share with you. Caron has worked in both the UK as well as abroad and lectures internationally on a regular basis about midwifery issues.

Caron has a personal passion to improve the care provided to mothers and babies on a global basis, lecturing in countries as far away as South Africa, Norway, Holland and the Caribbean when she has recently hosted an International Conference which attracted delegates from nineteen countries across the globe.

Caron is also a qualified Hypnobirthing Instructor, Antenatal Yoga Teacher, Baby Massage & Yoga Instructor, Aromatherapist and Fitness Instructor holding specialist qualifications to teach antenatal and postnatal yoga exercises. Caron has also been a Supervisor of Midwives for many years.She has been teaching safe and effective exercise to pregnant mothers for 18 years now and also has a degree in Womens' Health. Your safety and your baby's safety is her main priority and concern.

At the start of all of her classes, time is set aside within the group, where everyone has a chance to ask about any concerns or worries that they might have about their pregnancy or their impending birth. As such an experienced midwife, Caron usually has most the answers, but if not she will refer you to the appropriate person who will be able to help you and has been known to get Consultant appointments for ladies the following day where she has had grave concerns. She also allows time at the end of the class for anything that you may feel too personal or shy to ask in a group situation.

Once you are attending Caron's Antenatal Yoga or Hypnobirthing Classes you also have access to Caron via phone, email or text to answer any of your questions or concerns, and as you get to see her on a weekly basis and really get to know each other, many ladies see Caron as their "second midwife" which they find extremely beneficial and reassuring.

It is this personal service and individualized care and attention that sets Caron's classes apart from the rest as you get so much more than your regular antenatal yoga or antenatal exercise class ........it is more like a complete pregnancy and birth course with your own private midwife.

The aim of Antenatal Yoga is to help you to cope with the mental, physical and emotional changes that you will go through during your pregnancy and to help you to prepare physically, mentally and emotionally for your labour and birth.

Practicing the deep breathing and postures will allow your muscles to increase in elasticity and become pre-stretched, strengthening and toning them in readiness for your baby’s birth. It will also help to reduce the minor ailments of pregnancy such as swollen ankles, high blood pressure, varicose veins, backache and tiredness through improved lymphatic drainage, a more toned body, better self- awareness and an improved state of well- being.

Practicing yoga helps to keep your energies in a natural balance, which allows you to grow in confidence and stay relaxed in the face of your ever- changing pregnant body and mind.

It is also an excellent opportunity to meet other mothers-to-be who you can share the experience of being pregnant and becoming a mother with.
