There’s still time to book for the short and sweet summer course at The Baby Room Exeter this week. Just £16 for the two weeks, Weds, 10-11am. To book, just message me or email at [email protected].

These sessions are a mix of gentle, postnatal friendly yoga and stretches and songs for babies, relaxation and gentle sleep techniques and rejuvenating breathing.

Some memories from the years of Yoga Babies and a new course starting next week.

It’s been 20 years since I started Yoga Babies and it’s run more or less continuously over that time, thanks to you and your babies. As I’ve been out of action a lot over the past year or so, in a very slow recovery from a sudden, unexplained brain haemorrhage, I thought it would be good to reintroduce myself and show you a little of what the sessions involved.

Yoga Babies is all about nurturing you and your babies, with gentle, nourishing yoga, suitable for whether you have a postnatal body or not, relaxed breathing techniques, grounding meditation and stretches, songs and techniques you can use with your babies. These range from turning them upside down to using vibration to soothe their nervous systems.

I bring a range of approaches, my trainings in perinatal yoga, teaching, hatha yoga teaching, meditation and sound training, with a trauma-informed and inclusive approach.

They’re open to all babies and their grown ups, to all types of families and parents to enjoy sone bonding time with their babies in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.

And there are many songs which you can’t find anywhere else, because they’re the originals. If that doesn’t draw in the crowds, I don’t know what will! 🤦🏻‍♀️

If you’ve got this far and know anyone who might enjoy these sessions, please do share.

The next Yoga Babies course starts next week, and there are a few spaces, so do get in touch if you’d like to book. The course is 4 weeks, with an extra catch up week, and costs £32. We’ll be sharing some gentle, postnatal focused movement, relaxed breathing for you and songs, stretches and calming techniques for your babies. Open to all babies up to toddling and their grown ups.

If you’re looking for something to do today before the rain starts (🤞), this is one of the activities on at Park Life Heavitree today. It’s a taster Park Yoga session aimed at parents, so babies and children are welcome. It’s followed by a Teddy Bears’ picnic in the park. Paddling pools are open and there are plenty of beautiful trees to sit under. I’ll be here at 10.15 and there’s no need to book. Just bring a mat, towel or blanket for a moment of stretching, movement and relaxation.

This is on tomorrow morning and it’s completely free! No need to book. If it’s a little bit rainy, we’ll be under a tree! Hope to see you there 😊

@parkyogauk are supporting some special taster sessions this year alongside the regular Sunday sessions to engage more of our community. I’m leading this child friendly session for parents this Friday. It’s aimed at adults, but we’ll be adding in some things for children and babies too. You don’t need to book and it’s absolutely free. Just bring a mat, towel or blanket to practise on and 🤞 for dry weather!
