What it’s like
Baby massage, baby yoga and bedtime rituals classes for newborns, plus birth prep courses for parents-to-be.
These are classes built around the very early months, some of them starting before your baby even arrives. Birth Preparation courses are for pregnant parents getting ready for labour, while everything else is aimed at you and your newborn together: Baby Massage, Baby Yoga with gentle movement and songs, and a Baby Sanctuary session that combines a warm bath with massage.
Baby Yoga leans on rhythm and repetition, the kind of thing that sounds a bit much until you realise your four-week-old has actually gone quiet for the first time all day. The Baby Sanctuary class is the one that stands out on paper, a warm bath paired with massage, which is as much about you getting a moment of calm as it is about the baby.
There's also a Bedtime Rituals class, which does what it says: routines and habits around winding down for sleep, useful territory for anyone currently surviving on broken nights. Given the age range starts from birth, these classes are built for the newborn stage rather than toddlers who are up and moving, so bring the baby, not the entertainment.
Nothing here is a drop-in soft play session or a toddler group with toys scattered everywhere. It's a calmer, more structured kind of class, the sort you'd book onto for a set number of weeks rather than turn up to on a whim.

Plan your visit
What ages are these classes for?
From birth. The Birth Preparation courses are for during pregnancy, and the rest, like Baby Massage and Baby Yoga, are for you and your newborn together.
What actually happens in a Baby Sanctuary class?
It's a warm bath combined with baby massage. It's as much a calm moment for you as it is for the baby.
Is this suitable if my baby isn't sleeping well?
The Bedtime Rituals class is built around exactly that, routines and habits for winding down at night.
Do I need to book ahead?
These run as structured classes rather than drop-in sessions, so it makes sense to sort your place before turning up.
