Bump to Baby Yoga

23/01/2026

My sister company YogaPupz Washington, YogaPupz Chester-le-Street and YogaPupz Gateshead - Parachute Play 🌈

During our terms our babies and children enjoy parachute play. Not only do lots of the yogis really enjoy them but they offer lots of benefits. This multi-sensory experience:

⭐️ Encourages physical development and aids gross motor skills

⭐️ Develops coordination, balance and strength

⭐️ Helps visual coordination and focus and strengthens eye muscles through tracking

⭐️ Provides opportunity to learn object permanence and anticipation and other cognitive skills

⭐️ Offers social interaction between yogis, aiding social skills and as the children grow encouraging teamwork and even problem solving.

After signposting to Benny’s story all week in classes I cuddled my youngest to sleep tonight and lay in bed with my eldest reading together and I knew how much it meant. Those moments. The ones you want to last forever. Then I thought about Benny and his family.

Please read Benny’s story and donate and/or share his page and/or do your own fundraiser!

Please. And thank you. 🙏🏻

£1 TEXT TO DONATE!

Please support Stand by Benny today!

Text BENNY1 to 70085 to donate £1 and help us get Benny the treatment he most desperately needs!

We know so many of you have already supported us in so many ways and for that we are immensely grateful. Thank you so much!

We all know January always feels like the longest month by far of the year, making that next pay date feel a million miles away and a hard month for a lot of families.

That is why we ask for such a small donation as this could have such a massive impact to our campaign for Benny.

If every one of our followers donated £1 today, that would be £5,000 raised!

Thank you as always for all of your continued support and generosity 💙

💙 Have small meals and eat slowly – too much food and eating fast can increase heartburn
💙 Avoid fatty foods, acidic foods, spicy foods, chocolate, coffee, caffeine, to***co and alcohol
💙 Try eating ginger or putting in a drink
💙 Avoid peppermint and spearmint
💙 Drink in between meals not with them
💙 Keep upright after eating and perhaps sleep propped up
💙 Go for a gentle walk after eating
💙 Don’t eat late, or even drink lots late, leaving up to 3 hours before bed if heartburn is severe
💙Wear loose clothes
💙 Consult GP about antacid or H2 blocker

Yoga can also help! We do chest opening positions which help with heartburn and acid reflux 🧘‍♀️

Absolutely brilliant common sense from drsarawickham on asking questions when offered an INDUCTION:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14St6xbyDVS/?mibextid=wwXIfr

What are the best questions to ask if you're offered induction of labour?

As someone who has researched and written about induction of labour for more than two decades, I get asked that quite a bit.

Especially as I have a fundamental belief that there is no one 'right' path for everyone.

Twenty years before anyone hashtagged , I was promoting that very idea to women and families.

One size doesn't fit all.

You need to decide what's right for you.

And in order to do that, you might need to ask some questions.

So I have put together this guide to the five best questions that you can ask in order to get more information and make the decisions that are right for you.

I'm also going to tell you what can you learn from the answers you are given.

You can find my blog post at https://www.sarawickham.com/articles-2/five-questions-to-ask-if-youre-offered-induction-of-labour/

I hope you'll find it useful.
