Mum & Baby Classes

When people hear “mum and baby yoga”, they often imagine a traditional yoga class with babies beside the mat.

But these classes are something much more holistic.

At Cultivate Kindness, I bring together all of my experience in:

• Yoga Teaching
• Dance And Somatic Movement
• Meditation Workshops
• Sound Healing And Relaxation

To create a unique experience that supports your nervous system, your recovery after birth, and your connection with your baby.

Each session is designed to help you:

• Move Gently And Safely After Birth
• Rebuild Strength And Confidence
• Tone And Strengthen The Body Gradually After Pregnancy
• Reconnect With Your Body Without Pressure
• Bond With Your Baby Through Movement And Presence
• Feel Supported In A Calm, Welcoming Community

Gentle Movement That Feels Good

One of the things that makes these classes different from many other baby classes in York is the inclusion of gentle dance-inspired movement and somatic flow.

This is not about “bouncing back” after pregnancy or pushing your body.

It is about:

• Moving Intuitively
• Reconnecting With Joy
• Feeling Music In Your Body
• Releasing Stress And Tension
• Building Strength Through Gentle Movement
• Supporting Postnatal Recovery Safely

Some sessions may include movement with your baby or optional sling-based movement, creating beautiful moments of closeness and connection.

There’s no pressure to get anything right.

You can pause, feed, cuddle, or simply rest whenever you need.

Supporting Both Mum & Baby

These classes are designed with both mum and baby in mind.

For Mums:

• Gentle Postnatal Strengthening
• Support With Core Recovery
• Gentle Toning And Strength Building
• Nervous System Support
• Emotional Wellbeing
• Community And Connection
• Space To Breathe

For Babies:

• Sensory Connection
• Rhythm And Movement
• Calm And Soothing Sound
• Bonding And Attachment

We also end many sessions with calming sound and relaxation, helping both you and your baby settle into a softer, more grounded state.

A Safe & Welcoming Space

Motherhood can feel overwhelming sometimes.

That’s why creating a space rooted in kindness and compassion is so important to me.

These classes are:

• Beginner-Friendly
• Trauma-Aware
• Non-Judgemental
• Inclusive And Supportive

You do not need any yoga or movement experience to join.

You simply come as you are.
