I am an aromatherapist and qualified children’s nurse. I have been privileged to teach parent and baby classes for the last 16 years and experience the joy that yoga can bring, but am now stepping back from teaching regular classes to take semi-retirement. It was through Birthlight I first discovered yoga which transformed my life and I continue to practice regularly. I am available for teaching individual one to one or small, occasional classes by request.
Hi, I’m Laura 🙂 I am a mum of 2 little ones and a geriatric Jack Russell. I am a 200hr qualified Yoga Teacher and trainee Advanced Yoga Teacher. I am also very privileged to be able to offer the following perinatal classes for expectant and new mums, as well as new parents and their babies through my training with Birthlight:
- Pregnancy Yoga
- Post-natal Yoga (bring baby with you!)
- Baby Massage
- Baby Yoga
As well as weekly group classes, I offer private 121 or small group classes (2-3 people). All classes are held at my private, tranquil garden studio in Walmley, Sutton Coldfield, B76. Groups are kept small to max. 8 people and focus on connection; with your body, your baby and other expectant or new mums/ parents.
All classes are suitable for all abilities, complete beginners onwards. All mats, props, massage oils etc are provided so all you have to think about is yourself and your little one. There are toilet and changing facilities on site and plenty of parking on a privater driveway.

Hi,
I’m Charly, an experienced IAIM Certified Baby Massage instructor, Leicester Mammas Breastfeeding Peer Support and a Birthlight Baby Yoga instructor.
I hold five session courses in Syston, as well as taster sessions through the year. Classes are around one and a half hours long, they include refreshments and social time too. When signed up to a course you are added to a WhatsApp group to support you, and allow you to continue conversations with your peer in class.
Sessions are welcoming, non-judgemental and a relaxed environment is created in all sessions.
please note that courses are term time only. It is asked that alternative childcare is arranged for siblings to allow you to bond with your newborn.

I have a yoga studio in Lichfield , UK which runs perinatal yoga classes.
I am a busy Momma of two who is fortunate enough to be able to teach regular baby massage and baby yoga sessions for Becoming Families in Worcester and Stourport-on-Severn. The sessions are completely baby-led with plenty of singing, bonding time and interacting with little ones. After introductions we start the sessions with the same songs and moves as a cue for little ones to know what’s to come. After the session we have a further half an hour to really catch up with one another and build a friendship group that is nurturing and supportive 🙂 I feel so privileged to be able to facilitate these gorgeous sessions which are as much for parents/carers as they are for little ones.

Navigation, Intuition and Instinct
… knowing what your options are and how to navigate the pathway is so important … even the suggestion of booking in a sweep starts that ripple off …. go with your intuition and instincts – what feels right for you … navigate, negotiate and have those sensible conversations that support you and your baby so that you get the most out of the journey into motherhood and the best start.
If you are looking for a class that supports you in every way possible then please do connect … spaces available and it’s so much more than a pregnancy yoga class in the traditional sense. A Ripple Effect class is a “one-stop” shop … you get so much in terms of antenatal education, an amazing tool box for pregnancy, labour, postpartum and your everyday life which has yoga, relaxation techniques, breath work, “hypnobirthing” techniques (supporting those who have been to other classes or accessed online platforms), rebozo and self care … as well as meeting other fab ladies who are also on this journey to motherhood. They are a treat and certainly not to be missed. Add in the gorgeous bespoke Space you have a recipe that will support you all the way …
A little about me … I am a gentle soul … I pride myself on the classes I offer and the amazing work that has been shared into the community over the last 18 years … I am sure that as you journey deeper into the classes available in the area you will no doubt be seated next to someone who has been along to a Ripple class and believes that everyone needs a “Claire” … 1200 babies and families to date and 2 of my own doesn’t mean I am an expert but I am hoping I can help you shed some light to support you with your little one.
Look forward to connecting with you.

My name is Carla and I am a fully qualified Birthlight and STA infant aquatics teacher. In 2005, I trained with a swim school in Cambridge which was ran by Sally Lomas and Amanda Gawthrope. I also worked at Birthlight’s headquarters in admin for a while too. Having taught babies to swim over many years, including my own daughter, I have become increasingly aware of the benefits for newborn babies of learning water confidence from a very young age and the parent and baby bonding that results from being in water. Our aim is to bring parent and baby together through our swim splash classes in a safe, friendly and fun environment that best suits the needs of everyone involved.
I am a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Northampton, with research focus on wellbeing, positive psychology, parapsychology and alter-states of consciousness. I am interested in taking on research degree students who wish to focus on aqua therapy and the benefits of aqua yoga therapy. Please do contact me for more details.
I am available in Mansfield for one to one Aqua Yoga sessions on request.
