Gentle, flowing yoga - with Fiona Tasker
Mother and Baby Yoga classes
in Brighton and Hove

"Thank-you for the gift of being able to chill my baby out... 
at the touch of my fingers!" Vanessa, Brighton

Classes that benefit both of you - postnatal yoga for mums with movement and massage for babies. Scroll down for class times.

From 6 weeks old (8 weeks post c-section) up to and including crawlers.

No yoga experience necessary. The movements are adapted to your needs and are safe and supportive for mums with pelvic and back pain, and other common postnatal issues.

I have been teaching yoga for 12 years, and training yoga teachers for 7 of those years. I have worked on and off with babies and children over the last 23 years. I am also a postnatal yoga therapist (see pregnancy and postnatal health).

I am passionate about supporting women and babies through these early months together - a time of both challenges and delights! My aim is to provide a nurturing and supportive place for both of you to explore this journey in your own unique ways.

    TESTIMONIALS

    "Thank-you so much for such a wonderful start to our Mother-Daughter relationship; and the gift of being able to chill my baby out... at the touch of my fingers!"
    Vanessa, Brighton

    "I have found mother and baby yoga a really bonding experience. Fiona has taught me that I don't have to hold my baby like he is a china cup!  If I'm more relaxed with him, he in turn will be more relaxed.
    My son loves the moves and I've found it really useful to do some of the exercises at home during the late afternoon grumpy time. It's also a great activity to get your little one used to other babies and groups from an early stage, as there arent many classes you can do with a 6 week old.
    I would recommend the class to enable you to feel more confident handling your baby and learning some massage techniques that will soothe your baby."
    Bridget, Brighton

    "I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed doing the classes - they're very well thought out and your relaxed approach makes everyone else feel really chilled! It's a really lovely way of spending quality time with baby and getting back in tune with your body after birth. It's also made me really keen to find time for regular practice to keep me grounded during this eventful first year of motherhood."
    Amy, Brighton

    “We both really enjoyed the sessions! It was great to be with other mums and babies, and the informal, relaxing style of the sessions made them so much fun. I particularly enjoyed the relaxation part, and I still use the lullaby to soothe Hetty when needed. In the early days it really helped me to develop confidence in handling Hetty and ‘listening’ to her- it helped us connect in a different way. Thank you so much for the sessions and for your supportive approach!” Anna, Saltdean

    "I enjoyed interacting with my baby through massage as well as focusing on getting my body back into shape. Fiona showed us great ways to calm fractious
    babies and it was a good way to meet new mums and share advice. I was also able to pass on some of the tips I had learnt to my sister which she tried out
    on her newborn - particularly the 'swinging' and 'dropping' methods. They worked a treat!
    Fiona is a great source of information regarding anything to do with pregnancy and babies, and her calm approach makes for very relaxing and enjoyable yoga classes."
