Baby Yoga

Cheltenham’s well loved mother and baby yoga classes run by Nurturing Beginnings are baby centered, gentle and fun social experiences for you and your baby. Each session uses specifically designed baby yoga techniques to enhance your baby’s physical and mental development. Yoga is a lovely bonding experience for you and your baby and you will learn moves and strokes you can practice at home. Classes are small and supportive, all about creating time for you.

Baby yoga empowers you with the skills to deliver over clothes massage, breathing techniques, stretching and movements for your baby; alongside a selection of songs, rhymes, actions and sensory play.

What some recent mums said about our baby yoga course…

Harrison and I thoroughly enjoyed yoga, it was relaxing, bonding experience and we learnt some brilliant things to do at home. Sarah is a wonderful, friendly and calm teacher who has a wealth of knowledge! Julia and Harrison

We have just finished our baby yoga course and it’s been so great! It’s a wonderful mix of yoga, massage, sensory and singing (with yummy healthy treats!). Sarah is brilliant at what she does. She’s so baby focused that you aren’t left feeling embarrassed when your baby inevitably only wants to be cuddled or starts eating the mat (just my baby?!). Thank you Sarah, we will miss our special yoga time with you! Hannah and Makai

Sarah runs such lovely classes to make memories with your baby, we have really enjoyed it. Vicky and Axel

Cassie and I loved baby yoga, it was been wonderful doing something together. It has given us ideas of things we can do at home. The date balls at the end are amazing. Thank you Sarah! Julia and Cassie

Creative, innovative and imaginative activities throughout each session. Thoroughly enjoyed by baby and parent. Thank you. Anonymous
