Growing Together Yoga is run by Alanna Burchett - a dedicated perinatal yoga specialist.

“I have practiced yoga from early adulthood, and developed an interest in childbirth when writing my undergraduate dissertation looking at the medical model of childbirth. My passion grew with the birth of my first child. I chose to train with YogaBirth in 2022 as this is the most in-depth course of its kind, and the only one to be accredited by the Royal College of Midwives when they offered accreditation. My teaching is grounded in the breath, the use of gravity and the importance of listening to ones own bodily cues. Pregnancy and birth is transformational for all who walk this path, and I believe this time in your life deserves to respected, honoured and supported. This is not adapting yoga postures for a pregnant or postnatal body, but yoga designed with that transformational journey at its heart”

“Community is really important to me, so as well as fostering your connection with your body and baby, I support you to build connections with other expectant mothers/parents. As well as through my classes and our meet ups, I dedicate my time to organisations that do this. I am currently the Secretary for Informed Pregnancy Birth and Beyond (IPBB) and facilitate our free monthly Online Meet Ups. I also sit on the the committee for YogaBirth, to ensure ongoing high standards and CPD for our members.
