Group weekly courses

Happy Hatchlings new summer schedule of classes are detailed below, which will run through the school holidays. 

There will be three different 4-class courses offered begining at the end of July and a few PAYG stand alone sessions in August. 

There will be an infant massage course offered on Tuesday mornings (9.30-10.45am) commencing 26th July and finishing up on 16th August (please note the second week's class will take place on Monday 1st August).  The course will be held in the community room at Tesco Extra Knocknagoney, which is a great location to those in surrounding areas including Holywood, Bangor and the other side of the Lagan due to it being located at the dual carriageway/M3 junction.  This is a course suitable for parents with newborns and babies up to pre-crawling.  This course includes a 50ml bottle of organic sunflower oil and weekly parent handouts.  (A 5-week beginngers baby yoga couse will begin on 6th September and is a great follow-on course for those parents and babies wanting to carry on their Happy Hatchlings experience).

The second set of classes at Tesco Knockangoney on Tuesday mornings that will also run for 4 weeks will be a beginners baby yoga course.  Age range for this course is for little ones approximately 8-20 weeks.  These classes are a great way to help your baby stretch gently and gain more muscle tone.  It will run the same dates as above, starting at 11.15am on 26th July and will conclude on 16th August at 12.30pm (again please note week 2 will be on Monday 1st August).  (A fortnight later a 5-week advanced baby yoga course will run from 6th September until 4th October).

The afternoon session at Tesco Knocknagoney will be an advanced baby yoga course and is suitable for babies aged approximately 20 weeks plus.  Babies will need good head control to begin with this course as there will be stretches and poses that require more srength.  It is not compulsory to have completed the beginners course.  The dates will be the following: Tuesday 26th July, Monday 1st August, Tuesday 9th August and Tuesday 16th August and class time will be 1.15-2.30pm.

Following the success of our Nature Nurturing Hatchlings outdoors-based classes last year I will be offering a four week course on alternating Wednesday afternoons and Fridays mornings throughout July & August, as per dates below. There will also be a few Thursday afternoon sessions running in August - times TBC.  Please note these classes will be held in Stormont Estate and will involve some baby yoga, a bit of sensory fun and plenty of rhythm 'n' rhyme with a lovely story each session to finish up!  Parents need to bring a picnic mat, dress appropriately according to the weather and older siblings are more than welcome to join in too!  Babies will need to be 6 months old and over to join these classes.

Saintfield Community Centre classes will then begin again after the summer holidays starting the second week of September and it will be a 5-week infant massage course running on Thursday mornings.  

All courses will run, subject to sufficient numbers.  Please note spaces are limited for each venue so be sure to secure your mat so you don't miss out on the Happy Hatchlings fun!
