"I found baby yoga healing having had my baby in lockdown"

I am a mum of three, soon to be four, baby yoga & massage instructor, health visitor and international board certified lactation consultant. Life is busy and full of babies!

I completed my baby yoga and massage training with Birthlight. Birthlight is a charity and it practices aim to support women, babies and parents to find joy and connection, in body, hearts and minds.

I have taken each of my children to baby massage and just loved the closeness it provided. My eldest still asks for massages now, it is definitely a parenting tool that lasts a lifetime!

I decided I wanted to start baby yoga classes after taking one with my first born. I found the experience healing having had him in lockdown. It allowed me to gain some strength and gave me ideas I could do at home with him.

Wellness

A whole body, mind & soul practice promoting wellbeing in parent and child

Development

Aiding emotional and physical development through touch, stretches, exercises and songs for baby

Touch

Gentle massage and touch throughout promotes bonds, attunement and brain development

I started going to yoga when my little one was 3 months old. I loved the sense of community and zero judgement. I wasn't the odd one out, even though I didn't know everyone there. We loved the routines and did these at home too. Even my 3.5 year old loved the moves. The sessions were calm and Nicola was brilliant at adjusting positions depending on aches and pains or if baby was just wanting cuddles. She is full of knowledge about babies, parenting and is happy to just listen. She gives appropriate advice and support too. I had to stop because of work but we still do the routines now and I would absolutely recommend to anyone with a small baby!

Very calming and friendly atmosphere, beautiful venue and very welcoming especially if it's your first baby and they are a fussy baby. Would recommend to all new mams.

Nicola is fab 👌 had an amazing class with her today couldn't fault a thing. Don't just take my word for it.. take my baby's. 👶He smiled and laughed the whole way through and was kept involved throughout the class. Equal focus on both Mum and Baby meant we both left having thoroughly enjoyed ourselves ♥️
