mum & baby yoga

Mum & baby yoga AKA 'Baby Bees'

These classes are literally "my baby", developed from my personal experience maintaining and developing my own yoga practise after my 4 pregnancies and babies.

My very first classes and most recent have involved my own baby coming with me (with the help of my mam!) I have developed a lovely combination of post-natal yoga for mums which I know works and gentle baby yoga movements, songs and sensory activities that keep baby entertained and help their development in so many amazing ways. You will learn practises and songs that you can carry on at home to continue to develop your amazing bond with baby.

"Both Ava-Rose and I absolutely love Baby Yoga. The atmosphere is very relaxed and makes us feel at ease. Steph is so welcoming and tailors the classes to suit individual needs. Ava-Rose loves watching the other babies and we sing the songs and practise the little routines at home and it always makes her smile! We miss it when on a break week. The personal touch Steph gives you can't anywhere else. Steph makes amazing cakes and we enjoy them at the end of the class and get the chance to socialise with other new mams. We just love this class!"

The Hive Community

When Women get together amazing things happen. When you come along to The Hive you and your baby are warmly welcomed into a supportive, friendly and safe group. An amazing group of mamas that are all going through similar struggles, ups and downs and also cherishing this magical and precious time that often goes far too quickly. The groups are a really special place and lifelong friendships often spark! It is one of my greatest pleasures to know that through my classes i have brought women and children together but it is the women themselves that make it so special!

There is never a set plan or schedule but don't be surprised to get the odd handmade gift (made with my daughter), lots of cake and treats, ideas and schemes to help spread joy for other causes.
