About Aquatic Harmony
Hello, I am Hayleigh welcome to Aquatic Harmony’s website.
How we came about…
Whilst pregnant with my daughter in 2010, I discovered the benefits of both Antenatal Yoga and also the weightlessness of swimming.
What people say…
Thanks a lot for your wishes, we both are doing great. We call her as Tanvee,
It was really great to be part of Aqua classes which helped me from back aches and many other aches and pains and to meet new mums, we are planning on getting her for infant swimming classes soon.

Thank you so much for the aqua natal classes, Myki is absolutely fantastic! Without her birthing techniques alongside some hypnobirthing techniques I'd read up on, I don't know if I would have coped with my experience of labour as well as I did. I keep recomending the classes to friends.
I met one of the aqua natal mums on Monday at a breastfeeding support group, thanks to meeting her at the aquanatal class she gave me the encouragement to get out of the house which was a big step in my recovery. I have also met some lovely other ladies in class who I speak to almost every day and we have found lots of support in each other to become life long friends and share each others journey through pregnancy and parenthood.
