Mum + Baby or Yoga for Mums
If you're a mum looking for a calm, supportive way to move and feel stronger, you're in the right place.
I offer two classes, so you can choose what suits you:
Mum + baby yoga is the perfect first class for you, giving you time to focus on yourself while having fun with your little one. Like baby massage, it's baby-led and a supportive space where everyone is navigating the same challenges.
As your little one grows more independent, Yoga for Mums is a lovely next step, though it's just as perfect if you're already well past that stage. Dedicated time just for you, to breathe, strengthen and refill your cup, whatever age your children are now.
Both classes are designed to safely and gently restore your core and pelvic floor strength.

“Mum & baby yoga with Jess has been great. I've had an hour to focus on my postnatal fitness, general wellbeing and chat with other local mums. My little one has found the whole thing thoroughly entertaining and has loved getting involved in some of the poses!

I really enjoyed Mum and baby yoga with Jess, there are not many classes around which offer something like this. Time to feel you are doing something for YOU but also 1 to 1 time with your baby too - the perfect combination.

FAQs

Not at all — these classes are designed to welcome complete beginners as well as those with more experience. I offer options throughout each class, and everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace, choosing whatever feels most appropriate for them.
-
Classes are suitable after your 6 week GP check. Please check that your GP or midwife is happy for you to start postnatal yoga.
You can join from 6 weeks postnatal after a straightforward birth with no/minimal intervention.
Or from 12 weeks following a birth with medical intervention or a c-section and once any stitches have fully healed.
-
I provide all of the equipment you need, including a yoga mat. However, please bring along a bottle of water. You may also wish to have a pair of warm socks and a jumper to help you feel warm and cosy for the relaxation at the end.
Mum + Baby yoga - in addition to the above, please bring a blanket for your baby to lie on and a rattle, shaker or similar sensory toy to use during class.
-
Anything you feel comfortable and can move about easily in. A pair of leggings and a t-shirt are ideal.

Mum + baby yoga is totally baby led, meaning we attend to the needs of our babies first. If your baby needs feeding or changing, please go ahead. If they are asleep, we let them sleep.
If your baby is crying, that’s okay too, all babies are welcome in class, regardless of how they are feeling!
The aim is to try and squeeze in as much yoga as you can, whilst having fun with your baby. Some weeks that might be quite a lot and on other weeks not so much.
I am a true believer in self-care and the belief that “you can’t pour from an empty cup”.
