PARENT REVIEW
'We have absolutely adored Stretch & Soothe baby massage and baby yoga classes. Not only is it a place where you can relax and have a chat as a mama, it's also where you can see your baby develop week on week. Whenever I felt my baby was close to the next stage e.g. rolling or sitting up, Sarah would give me tips to help her progress which was amazing.
The songs and moves Sarah teaches you aren't just for class they are really useful to sing and practise at home too. The baby yogi song is Ella's favourite.
We have made such special memories with Sarah at these classes. Thank you x'

The face behind Stretch & Soothe..
Hey, I'm Sarah, I'm a mother of 2 and a yoga teacher at Sarah C Yoga.
I have specialised in pre and postnatal yoga for the past 4 years and also qualified in baby massage, baby yoga, tummy time and toddler yoga!
One of my favourite things is being there to watch little ones grow and develop, as well as parents grow in confidence with handling their babies and witness the bond between them become even stronger. Being a small part of this journey and important time in the parent and little ones lives fills me this joy and really makes my soul happy!
​
I can't wait to welcome you to a class soon!
