Lolly Stirk is a leading light in her field. Her
yoga career of over 30 years has been dedicated to creating and
developing the ideal practice for pregnancy, labour, birth and
beyond. She is a hypnobirther and brings this work into the
workshop. As a founder member of the Active Birth Movement in the
1980’s she campaigned for the rights of women to move freely during
the births of their babies. Her expertise in this area led her to
lecturing for many years at Thames Valley University to midwives on
the physiology of labour and birth and natural birth.

Attending Lolly’s yoga classes at triyoga will compliment the
workshop.
I attended Lolly’s yoga classes while I was pregnant with all my
children and I think it was the best present I ever gave them. It
was two hours of peace, support and calm, as well as the incredible
nurture of the yoga itself. I made friends that I still have, I
learnt everything I needed to know about the birth, I felt looked
after and cared for, and never felt so close to my baby. I even
drank herbal tea! Lolly is an astonishing person – driven by a love
for what she does and a commitment that women should be able to
have a gentle pregnancy and an empowered birth. My children and I
owe her a lot.

wonderful person who inspires confidence in the people around her

to enter the unknown journey into birth and parenthood.
