Suitable for babies from birth - 5 week group course or one-to-one sessions

My classes are designed to be relaxed, welcoming and fun. Touch is your baby's most important sense as they develop, so learning baby massage and yoga is a lovely way to bond with your baby. Group courses are also a great way to meet other parents and make new friendships.

There is always time for coffee and cakes after the massage is over and your baby relaxes and enjoys sensory time.

I am trained and qualified through the IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage)

 What happens on a Zerin's Baby Massage & Yoga course

Each week we will introduce a new massage stroke and by the end of the course you will have learnt how to massage your baby all over their body, a specific routine to help with colic and baby yoga moves too.
