Baby Yoga uses standard yoga postures adapted specifically for babies. It also incorporates postures and stretches for the parent and an opportunity to learn to relax with your baby - Diddly Oms believe that both of you can benefit through yoga together.

Aside from simply developing physical milestones it ensures balance is created within the body, flexibility is increased in the spine and joints, blood flow is enhanced and the digestive system improved. Yoga also runs in harmony with the nervous system to improve coordination, align hormones, enhance communication, contribute to brain development and improve sleep patterns. A baby has a hundred billion neurons within its body that are waiting to be stimulated, we just need to help them!

You don't need to have any experience of yoga to enjoy Baby Yoga together.

Baby Yoga, Headingley

Postnatal yoga is a wonderful opportunity to let your body recover, rest and relax after giving birth. This class starts right back at the beginning by re-aligning your body and using the breath to close it back together, re-knit your muscles and start to very gently re-build strength. 

It offers the opportunity for you to switch off and focus on yourself and areas that very often need care and attention after having a baby. There is a large emphasis on using the breath to heal, improving pelvic floor function, easing muscle aches and pains and gently bringing stability back to the abdomen and core.

This class is suitable from 6 weeks after birth depending on your recovery. It is ideal to let any bruising or swelling subside and for any stitches to heal before practicing although it is possible to start earlier with a 1-2-1 session.

Although postnatal classes are aimed at the mother, your baby is very much part of this class. Everything can be done whilst holding or feeding your baby and it is a baby-led atmosphere, adapted to suit their needs while you take part.

Postnatal Yoga

Children's yoga allows your little one to embrace their fun side, learn to believe in themselves and believe in their abilities. As they grow, many become more aware of their bodies, more self conscious and can sometimes lose that sense of letting go. Yoga teaches skills to be able to calm the mind, introduces meditation and gives space to really switch off.

 
Classes are focused on a range of postures to build strength, increase flexibility, refine balance and work on confidence, done so through storytelling, games, dance and music. Aspects of acro-yoga and balance are also combined to create an energetic yet calming environment helping to alleviate stress and anxiety.​ They can also help battle obesity and promote better overall health for your child.

​
At this age the concept of calm and relaxation can also seem quite daunting to some. Equipping your child with these skills can help the brain develop and give the basis for a solid foundation for life.

​

Concentration increases as children develop meaning postures can be held for longer and more technical terminology can be used. Kids yoga really begins to bridge the gap to adult classes, creating real mini yogis but still focusing on a core of fun, games, music and imagination!


Children's Yoga starts from when your little one begins school and can be continued right up until high school. As children begin school their lives change, bringing with it greater independence, confidence and more of their own identity. At Diddly Oms we feel this is the stage where they are ready to step out on their own and embrace yoga more independently, practicing for the first time with their peers and not with parents. 


Classes are booked on a half term basis working out at £7 per session, discounts for siblings are also available.

Children's Yoga

Stretch with Stories is the perfect introduction for your child to yoga. Every week a different story is used to capture their imaginations and allow them to start to stretch with simple yoga postures. This mixed age class lets your little one move and develop at their own pace whilst joining together as a group. Stretches are demonstrated with different levels allowing older babies and children to do their own version of a posture suitable for their skills and abilities. 
​

Each book is told using songs, stretches, nursery rhymes and yoga postures to work on building strength, increasing flexibility, introducing balance work and keeping your little ones moving in a uniquely energetic yet calming environment. 

​
At this age the concept of relaxation is often lost as little ones don't always want to stay still or be quiet! But alongside movement and active engagement this class gently introduces the idea of breath work and down time. This might be something that they simply observe to begin with but the more they are exposed to it, the more natural it will be to them.

Classes are booked in half term blocks working out at £7 per session or Pay As You Go for £9 per session with discounts for siblings.
