Baby yoga (and baby massage) classes are run in Hailsham and other areas in East Sussex (also on Zoom). Suitable from a few weeks old to crawling. Enjoy songs, stretches, gentle toning and relaxation for your baby and you and meet others. Classes are friendly, informal, inclusive and offer variations for each move for the baby according to his/her age, development stage and personality. Each term there is a different theme with different songs and the opportunity for fancy dress for the final week. Gentle post natal exercises are included for mothers including care for the pelvic floor and if you have diastasis recti. Props such as baby yoga balls and sensory scarves add to the fun. All classes are very baby friendly and parents dip in and out of the class to feed, cuddle etc. If you miss a week, I send you a recording. A yoga pack is included with lots of exercises, songs and post natal breathing in. Home made cakes are provided for the final week!
Ongoing support provided with baby massage, post natal yoga. I also teach pregnancy yoga.
I am an advocate of promoting yoga as a sustainable lifetime practice in energizing the body and being present in the moment. I have developed my own nurturing style of teaching, incorporating my insights and learnings from my trainings in Well Woman Yoga, Vinyasa Flow and Pranayama. I teach online via Zoom.

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.

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.
I am passionate about women’s health, from conception, birth to menopause and beyond. The yoga classes I offer to women provide them with invaluable tools to help transform, empower and heal their body’s and minds in a gentle but effective way. I qualified in Birthlight Pre-Natal Yoga in 2007, and Post-Natal Yoga in 2008, and Well Woman Yoga 2020.
I am currently offering on-line group classes via Zoom and face-to-face 1-2-1’s.
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.

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.

Pregnancy Yoga classes, in a welcoming comfortable and safe space, offer a different theme every week, from ‘Posture and Back Care’ to ‘Breathe in the Land of the Undoing’. Birthlight core practices are reinforced each week, antenatal yoga breathing is a constant, and everyone’s favourite section, deep baby-bonding relaxation, is developed over the weeks to enable everyone to develop the skill of surrendering to their natural deep relaxed state.
The first 4 weeks is offered as a course, then subsequent sessions are on a drop-in basis.

Toddler Yoga
Fun and stimulating “Yoga Inspired” activity for the child and their adult.
Adult and child participate with one another exploring Yoga shapes & moves, mindfulness & breath-work through fun themes, music, games and often relaxing storytelling at the end of the class. This is a great chance for both the adult and the child to do a little exercise as well as discover new ways to unwind together.
Based in Wiltshire, I am currently running Well Woman Yoga online via Zoom, Postnatal Yoga for Mothers & Babies face to face in the Bromham Social Centre (socially distanced), Pregnancy/Perinatal Yoga in the White Horse Yoga Studio in Devizes with small groups face to face (as well as women who join online via Zoom) and Chair Yoga which is for anyone who has mobility/health issues, online via Zoom. All classes are carefully planned around the needs of the group with a focus on Pranayama (breathing practices), gentle yoga asanas (postures) and relaxation. My aim is to create a calm and nurturing environment for everyone who attends, giving each person the time and space to take what they need from the session.
Pregnancy Yoga Online. Safe and Slow. No previous experience necessary, but you will need the permission of your midwife/doctor and complete a Health Questionnaire with me before your Course begins.
These are Online via Zoom.
Your first session with me is free as you need to be sure you have a connection with your Yoga teacher, and even more so in these special months.
Afterwards, classes are £10 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
