Antenatal and Baby Classes with Lazy Daisy

About Us and Our Classes

With 113 teachers across the UK and teachers worldwide now too, Lazy Daisy® really is shouting loud and proud 'that we love birth and babies'.

As you explore this site and read about our popular Active birth and Pregnancy Yoga style movement classes and our calming baby massage and yoga classes, we feel sure you will start to share our passion. With so many teachers and now in-store facilities too in collaboration with both JoJo Maman Bebe and Mothercare, there is bound to be a teacher close by (and don't forget to look out for regular online modules too - in fact you can enjoy some online relaxations already in our blog areas courtesy of Daisy Radio).

What the Parents Say:

"I've attended two sets of Lazy Daisy classes in Durham and it made me feel really relaxed; in the weeks before my due date I put the music on every single night and did the exercises and breathing and then fell asleep with the music. During labour I had the music on most of the time and I managed without any pain relief except the centre breath. I used the bearing down breath for getting the baby out and I fully attribute to the class that I didn't tear! So I have hugely benefitted from attending the classes and now have gone on to the Daisy Baby class..." Bella, August 2011

Baby Massage & Yoga

What is Daisy Baby?

Baby Massage and Baby Yoga classes to calm and soothe

A unique take on traditional baby massage and baby yoga, with a class format designed to appreciate that little ones need time in arms too. As we move through traditional infant massage and baby yoga routines,coupled Baby with postnatal movement for mums too, parents will discover a number of sequences which focus on key baby issues including calming, colic, reflux and flat head. Classes work a lot with mobility of the upper spine, using techiques from baby reflexoloy and cranio work too, to help parents help their babies.

The tinies class is very much lullabye and white noise led, for a really serene experience. The wrigglers class is more dynamic with lots of singing and bouncing.

Suited to those who:

Want to enjoy baby massage and baby yoga in a relaxing and calming environment
Feel worried that their baby will not want to lay through a traditional full routine
What to explore use of white noise and calming techniques
Feel worried about colic, reflux, flat head or other issues
