Zen Babies

Take back control of your evening and feel like you again, even if just for one night.

It’s ok we don’t want babies to not act naturally and we want to feed them when they need and lots of babies are struggling with digestion issues and colic or reflux symptoms but what if we could help you and help your baby calming and gently, naturally and with love.

Baby Massage is soothing and a wonderful way to calm and regulate your baby and you! Using baby’s first language of touch to show them love and respect, saying I see you, I love you.

Releasing oxytocin, feeling warm and loved and safe your baby will relax more and will enjoy a better quality of sleep from one session however used regularly at home as part of your routine you’ll be able to fit this (almost magic spell) into your day and evening for better sleep.

Learn some tips and tricks from Gina, The Lullaby Nurse (health visitor and sleep consultant) and ask any questions you may have for her.

🧘‍♀️🍃BABY YOGA🍃🧘‍♀️

In Baby Yoga there are yoga poses and stretches for both of you and some we do together.

🎢 Baby Rollercoaster
🍃This is good move to do towards the end of baby’s routine, it gives your baby a full body stretch and often they really enjoy it!

⏰ Tick Tock
🍃Tipping your baby backwards and forwards like a pendulum helps strengthen the neck and back, helps develop self awareness and spacial awareness, builds trust and confidence.

We use these and lots of other poses and stretches for you and your baby.

Join us on Monday 24 August for Baby Yoga with Strength Training. Alice Butler Coaching will be joining us and will show you a simple but effective strength routine to do at home to help build your confidence and strength. Start to find you again.

Baby Yoga, strength training for parents, snacks and social time.

All zen babies courses and workshops are on Sproggo.

We know they’re not meant to sleep all night and we know our babies don’t know the difference between night and day but it doesn’t make it any easier when we are running on two hours broken sleep.

There are gentle and baby led ways to support you through this phase.

Baby Massage is a wonderful way to help you both relax, help your baby regulate and feel calm, as well as supporting digestion, relieving colic and reflux symptoms, increasing your bond and improving sleep.

This session is extra special as we have guest sleep consultant Gina, health visitor and owner of the Lullaby Nurse. Gina will share some tips and tricks and answer your questions.

We had so many phases, my eldest was firmly a Peppa Pig and Ben an Hollys Little Kingdom fan, along with the usual convenes characters.

My second was a Paw Patrol girl and my third also Paw Patrol but also Blippi! He knew the names of most heavy plant machinery by the age of 3 and we used to have to stop and watch any kind of road works, construction, road painting etc, around the time they built the Morley Aldi so we had constant supply of front loaders and excavators to go watch 😆

What makes your toddler shout for more?

👨‍🎓 📚 🏫 Schools out for the summer!!

Usually I also stop, I run some competitions and post demo videos but don’t normally run classes but you keep telling me there’s never anything for babies and toddlers in the holidays in terms of classes.

Our lovely Morley venue Total Studios runs amazing holiday clubs in the school holidays but not on Mondays so I’m snapping up my usual slot on Monday mornings and have created some special workshops and sessions for you.
