Feral Family Yoga

I have been going to Julie’s classes since my daughter was a few weeks old. In the early days this helped tremendously with bonding and learning my babies cues. The nurturing and supportive environment she creates and the way she facilitates the sessions is why we keep coming back. I have not found classes as good as hers. We now regularly attend family yoga classes. As my daughter is getting older it provides an inclusive environment where she can express herself and for parents too. One session we all rolled along the floor. I hadn’t done this in years. We had so much fun together and dad gets to come too as it is on a Saturday. After all the fun the relaxation element is beautiful as we all get to relax together and just be which is sometimes a rare occurrence in our busy lives.

The family yoga was a great experience for all of us. It gave adults, babies, toddlers and preschoolers space to enjoy relaxing together in a calm and imaginative way. My 4 year old still enjoys doing some of the yoga moves at home. Baby Nomad‘s Family Yoga is a welcome respite to a busy, hectic family life. It‘s a chance to reconnect with you children, in a safe and welcoming space. My children love Julie‘s positive encouragement and full attitude. A highlight of our month!

Absolutely brilliant course, shame it was only 6 weeks long! Gave me lots more confidence in handling Lucas, got me out the house meeting other mums which was great and the conversations each week I found really helpful; like making me realise I hadn‘t dealt with the traumatic birth yet. Evelyn-Rose and I thoroughly enjoyed the baby massage course. It was a great escape from the rest of the world. I also liked being able to share little problems each week and trouble shoot with you and the other mummies. We had already built up a massage routine before bedtime, but before the course I had fallen into a rut of always doing the same things and not really ‘feeling‘ and responding to Evelyn. The course has given me the confidence to experiment and make changes based on her mood. I have also learnt to massage her back for the first time and she absolutely loves it! Thanks once again.

Thank you for a great course. Emily and I really enjoyed it. I loved that it gave me something else that I could do with Emily that we both really enjoyed as I have struggled at times to know what I can do with a young baby. I also found it really helpful to learn things that weren‘t necessarily associated with massage – for example how to pick up your baby without startling them and how to calm them down by putting their hands on their chest. These are skills I use everyday and taught my husband! 

I loved the classes and I certainly know that Joseph did too. I would like to take the opportunity for thanking you for all you have done, especially in those first few months of becoming a new mummy. I have loved every Monday thanks to your classes (great unwind from what‘s usually a very busy weekend!) I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed the time the classes give between just me and baby, I actually switch off from all the others things we think about and concentrated just on him and me. I will be trying to carry this on! I‘ve taken away things from classes and incorporated into our every day routines and life. I love seeing Joseph getting all excited now in anticipation of little things we do, rolling on my legs in a real winner! Finally, the classes have given me a great opportunity to make some fabulous friends. We have felt extremely silly at times doing things in baby yoga (camel walking), but it‘s all been such great fun. Thank you for all of your excellent advice too x
