You’ve found YAYoga – a friendly and welcoming yoga business offering classes for the mummy to be (pregnancy yoga), mummy and her baby/mini tot/tot and children of all ages (daddies welcome too of course).
Family Yoga time is a once monthly session for all the family.
YAYoga also visits schools and nurseries.
YAY bumps provides a safe and nurturing environment to take pregnant women through their journey from 2nd Trimester (approx 16 weeks) to the birth of their baby.
During a course you will develop valuable 1 to 1 contact time with your little one. Your baby will learn to trust you while you will gain confidence in baby handling through exercises and movements set to song and music.
Bursting with energy and enthusiasm these YAY tots are almost ready to go it alone – but not quite yet! A creative yoga session centred loosely around a theme. Creative movement, yoga asanas, song, simple breath awareness games, gentle fun massage and relaxation techniques.
These YAY yogi kids are beginning to develop self-respect and respect for others so can enjoy partner work. Often taught through stories, yoga helps to increase balance and body awareness and confidence.

YAYoga offer sessions from around 16 weeks for the pregnant mama in YAY BUMPS. Once you’ve secured a place you can attend throughout the duration of your pregnancy or for just a 5 week block, although most do the former! It is a fantastic way to make lifelong friendships with other mamas!
From around 28 weeks you can sign up for YAY HYPNOBIRTHING a 10 hour course over 4 weeks. This birthing programme, prepares the birthing couple for the birth of their baby in a number of ways – through self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques, learning about the physiology of birth, the environment for birth, birthing positions, and breastfeeding information and much much more.
When baby has been born there is an opportunity to come along to YAY BABIES increasing the bond between you and your little one, developing friendships, whilst improving strength, flexibility, co-ordination of the body (yours and baby).
All classes will help to focus and calm the mind through gentle mindfulness.
Classes are taught with patience and understanding of the individual – sprinkled with heaps of kindness, mixed together with loads fun and laughter.
