In this session, you will experience two classes in one! There will be nurturing yoga practices to promote recovery for mums &/or bonding for dads followed by a lively mix of yoga-inspired practices for baby, to support baby’s growth & development. Together these two mini-sessions promote health & well-being for the whole family. All are welcome, so mums need no previous experience of yoga to attend these classes & babies are welcome any time after eight weeks up until they are fully mobile & ready to move on! Twins/multiples are always welcome at no additional cost, as well as older siblings, who just love to get involved.

Since my first yoga class in 1997, I found that yoga has become a wonderful and fulfilling part of my life. I began teaching in 2003, after being encouraged to study further by my own teachers. I gained a diploma to teach through the British Wheel of Yoga. Since then, my focus has been on teaching yoga for pregnancy and childbirth, gaining a BWY pregnancy module in 2006. I followed this with a birthlight diploma to teach baby yoga in 2007. I have also supported my BWY ante-natal training with a Childbirth Preparation certificate from birthlight.
Throughout the years, my own practice has been influenced by several experienced teachers in diverse schools of yoga, such as hatha, Iyengar & Ashtanga, lending me a wide perspective of yoga and its benefits. My most recent explorations have been in Scaravelli-influenced yoga, working both with teachers who practiced with Vanda Scaravelli herself, and their students who teach others. In so doing, I met with Bill Wood & undertook another teacher diploma, becoming qualified with the AIYP in 2011. I meet regularly with renown teachers, such as Wendy Teasdill, Louise Simmons & Catherine Annis. I have also been interested in therapeutical yoga, working with programmes such as " Yoga for Healthy Backs "
