We have a two tier class structure ideally suited to
babies age 6 weeks through to 12 weeks, and 12 weeks through to crawling. Don't leave it too late -
so many mums feel this is an activity for older babies only to find they
have missed their window of opportunity. Our tiny and growing
babies love the mobility and stimulation these sessions offer and are
happy to lay in front of mummy or on her knee, whilst we perform the
various baby Asanas!
For our littlest yogi's (those starting just under the 6 week mark or premi babies) we highly recommend our exclusive session for babies age 6wks-12wks. This course covers massage as well as an introduction to soft stretches and gentle baby yoga and allows mums to discuss the issues associated with early parenting. REST ASSURED: If you are unable to book a space on our early yoga session please don't be put off enrolling for our 12wk-cawling groups. With a highly qualified instrutor leading the group (benefiting from over 4 years experience of teaching tiny babies) you will be offered softer moves and gentler routines to help you join in with the entire session. Certainly mums seem to love the combination of babies of varying ages and at varying stages of development. We clearly advise you on how to adapt postures to suit your own child. For crawlers through to walkers we do offer a more 'flexible' sensory class which allows these independent explorers to use the range of movements they have discovered in their own way. It is important to note that as your baby becomes more independent the class becomes much more about 'self interaction and mummy led play' - you help your baby to discover the range of sensory equipment on offer. Our structured segments are kept much shorter to match your baby's attention span and to avoid over stimulation!

Our baby yoga classes generally run for six week terms. In each class we enjoy wonderful loving touches, containment holds, infant massage, gentle swings and dips and a really soothing introduction to songs, rhymes, chants and exploration. As baby grows so do our portfolio of stretches as we enjoy postures reminiscent of: Prayer Position, Guppi, Cobra, Plough, Bridge and Fish to name but a few (of course they may need a little help along the way). A typical class will take you through a 'body aware' (massage based) warm up, lower body postures to help with digestion and hip mobility, upper body postures to help baby uncurl, a sensory segment to encourage visual and auditory development , brain gym to wire the hemispheres of the brain and of course our renowned swings, dips and circle time. Our babies love the social interaction they get from routines such as 'Round and Round the Haystack' and parachute time. The sensory relaxation is always a favourite part of the class and this is enhanced by our unique fibre optics, projections and light shows. These classes really are a great combination of fun, social time and relaxation. Our songs and rhymes uplift and inspire us. Our 'baby om's' soothe and comfort us. But don't take my word for it .... come and see for yourself.

"We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you have done for L and I, we have both loved every minute of yoga. L has achieved so much and through yoga we have both made some wonderful friendships. We will definitely be returning once L is walking confidently." CM 2/06 "Baby E and I both wanted to say how much we have enjoyed your classes and what a fab year we have had. We always look forward to the sessions every week and that's why we have never missed one .... we will always have happy memories of our sessions together" AP 07/06 "I have really enjoyed our baby yoga especially the bouncy, bouncy bump and I will be sad when my mummy goes back to work and I have to finish" JW 09/07
"Thought you might like to take a
look at these and while I'm at it thanks so much for all your input over
the last year or so. I really enjoyed the pregnancy yoga and to be able
to come back with **** for him to reap the benefits of Lazy Daisy
as well has been great. We're moving away by the end of the year,
(hopefully!) but if there is a change of plan I will return for number
2. I hope that when we move away I can find someone else who can be so
beneficial." MC 02/08
