I googled this and found a chatroom which recommended Mike Oldfield's The Voyager which is nice chill out Celtic influenced music (i checked it out on YouTube).

I also go to a yoga class and am kicking myself as the supply teacher who doesnt teach there anymore had some fabulous CDs and i forgot to ask her about them

So i am basically looking for something with either a Celtic or Far Eastern influence.

Can anyone recommend anything please?

The music used in HypnoBirthing is by a composer called Steven Halpern, the album is entitled "The Comfort Zone" - it is music specifically written to help you enter a relaxed state (aka "alpha state"), you can get it from Amazon.

Be aware though that you can't just play relaxing music during labour and expect it to instantly relax you, you have to build up a conditioned relaxation response to it, so when you get a CD, listen to it and enjoy it, play it when you're having a relaxing bath, play it to candle-light, play it and ask your OH to massage you, play it to fall asleep to at night - create wonderful relaxing conditioning to it and it will pay dividends when you go into labour!
