Mummy and Me

Mummy and Baby classes are specially designed to provide a friendly, warm and supportive environment in which to enjoy getting to know your baby, sharing beneficial practices to aid postnatal recovery and learning to relax in each others' presence over the postnatal year and beyond.

Every class is characterised by a positive 'give and take' that alternates
yoga for mums, with yoga for babies, with yoga for two!

Classes consist of a mix of fun and lively practices for the babies, passive stretches and rhythmic movement accompanied by singing and action songs. Along with postnatal recovery poses for mums, improving posture, re-energising and recovering strength and vitality. There are also lots of integrated yoga practices for mums and babies to do together. The classes are inclusive and relaxed so that babies can be fed, changed, soothed and sleep whenever they need. The sessions usually end with a period of deep relaxation
