Group weekly courses

Please find the next set of courses listed below that will be held in Comber on Monday mornings, Knocknagoney on Tuesday mornings and Saintfield on Thursday mornings. 

There will be six different courses on offer that will begin either just before or after Easter and will finish up at various dates depending on location and school holidays.

Mondays classes are a collaboration with the fabulous Physio Plus in Comber.  This next course will be a beginner baby yoga course and is most suitable to those babies aged 8 weeks plus.  This will be a set of 4 classes in total that will be held in their gorgeous 1st floor studio which is filled with natural light and is located just off the main square, on Killinchy Street!  On street parking right outside the door and around the square available or there is a small free of charge car park just further up on Killinchy Street.

These classes begin on Monday 7th April and finish on Monday 19th May.  These dates fall in line with the school holidays so please note there will be no class on the following Mondays:

14th April - Easter school holidays

21st April - Easter Monday

5th May - Early May Bank Holiday 

This is handy for those with older children and if partners are off on these days you won't be paying for a class you won't attend....win/win!

Class time each Monday morning is 9.30am until 10.45am and this is the perfect way to start off your week with your new VIP!

Tuesday classes are located at the community space in Tesco Extra Knocknagoney, which is a great venue to those in surrounding areas including East Belfast, Holywood, Bangor and the other side of the Lagan due to it being located at the dual carriageway/M3 junction.  Handy for picking up those essentials too either pre or post class! 

These 5-week courses will begin on Tuesday 29th April and will run until 27th May....see below please for details on these. 

• The early morning set of classes, starting at 9.45am and running until 11am each Tuesday, will be an infant massage course.  This is an ancient tradition boasting lots of health benefits for both baby and caregiver. You will learn various techniques and strokes that both stimulate and relax your little one. It helps with many different common baby ailments such as trapped wind in little bellies and congestion in those tiny noses and chests...to name a couple! It is suitable for babies form birth to pre-crawling. Most babies begin after their GP check but it is entirely up to you when you wish to start - you just need them to stay happy in one spot and not be wriggling off!
• The mid morning course starting at 11.15am until 12.30pm is an advanced baby yoga course but unfortunately is completely full.  A combination of age-related exercises that include more strenuous movements for baby and stimulating yoga sequences. This is geared towards the yogis approximately 20 weeks plus.  
• The third course will be a beginners baby yoga course that is suitable for the littlest yogis from 8 weeks old as this will consist of gentle stretches and movements, culminating in a lovely joint relaxation section after the exercises.  Combined with nursery rhymes and a little sensory these classes are full of fun to enjoy with your yogi!

On Thursdays there will be two 5-week courses running from 1st May to 29th May at Saintfield Parish Hall (just off main street). 

• The first course (9.45-11am each Thursday morning) will be an infant massage course with those tiny newbies or for mamas with those little ones who enjoy the chill factor and like to be pampered, which is the perfect baby bonding experience! Past babies have been as young as 2 weeks in these sessions and others 8 months old so it really depends on your own baby's personality! Within the duration of the 5 weeks you will be able to perform a full body massage on baby and have a set of skills to help in various situations, from deeply relaxing your little one so they sleep soundly or helping ease teething pain.
• The second set of classes in Saintfield, again with the same dates as above, will be an advanced baby yoga course, for those babies who have stronger neck control. Parents/caregivers will learn various poses and age-suitable stretches to help baby with those all-important developmental milestones, such as rolling, sitting up independently, crawling and pulling up.  Time for this class will be 11.15am-12.30pm every Thursday.

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!
