The wonderful Nikkie is back 🫶

As some of you will know, I’ve been off work for the last six months, recovering from a carotid artery dissection and a haemorrhagic stroke. I’m just starting to get back to some teaching and I’ve missed the babies so much.

I will no longer be teaching at the Exeter Yoga Workshop, where I’ve run Yoga Babies classes for many years. They are running their own classes with a different teacher. So, I’m going to run some sessions from my home studio in Heavitree. They’re small groups of six babies and their grown ups and the first course will be in July, four Tuesday mornings, 10.30-11.30, starting on 1st July. The cost for the course is £32. There are about three spaces left and if I sell out, I’ll probably run another class on a different morning.

I’ve been running these classes for twenty years, in different locations and I’m so grateful to have shared them with so many of you. All the baby yoga stretches and songs are original, tried and tested on my own babies. If you’ve been to my classes and enjoyed them, please share with anyone you know who might be interested. Thank you so much for your support over the years 💜
