"I so enjoy my yoga sessions with Sarah, her lovely calm voice and demeanour guides me through physical stretching, balance and breathing, leaving me feeling relaxed and able to deal with everything life throws at me."
S Davies
A Bit about me
Mother | Teacher | Blogger | Healer
Sarah has a passion for nature, yoga, art, dance, music, kinesiology and working with children.
Since becoming a mum in 2012 Sarah’s teaching has developed into offering pregnancy, mother and baby, children's and adult classes. Her adult classes have a lunar influence and use mostly the traditional postures from Indian teaching. The children's classes encourage the young people to be aware of their surroundings, the seasonal changes and how we can support our own health and wellbeing with yoga and brain gym exercises.
“ My own yoga practice had to change when I became pregnant, and even when my son was very young the stronger yoga I’d enjoyed previously was no longer possible. I practiced a more gentle form of yoga combined with post-natal exercises for the first 2 years after pregnancy. "
About Pregnancy Yoga
The aim of Sarah’s Pregnancy classes is to help mums to relax and enjoy pregnancy, supporting them towards a positive birth experience. These classes are based on her own experience and her yoga training.
Pregnancy yoga has been adapted from classical yoga to suit women during all stages of their pregnancy, by adjusting the postures to more simple and gentle forms. The postures provide essential support to women and prevent the hormonal changes in the body creating instability and pelvic issues.
By experiencing movements of waves and spirals created by the postures, women are able to make themselves feel more comfortable whilst carrying the baby and during birth. As well as reaching the deeper muscles that will become the birthing muscles and the whole pelvic floor, pregnancy yoga provides a cardio exercise that is suitable for mothers-to-be.
Pregnancy yoga sessions include breathing and relaxation – both of huge importance to maintaining a relaxed and calm mind during birth.
About Baby Yoga
The main aim of the Mother & Baby yoga classes is to provide opportunities for mums to spend quality time with baby & learn appropriate yoga for both their needs. This is done in a relaxed class which incorporates songs & yoga sequences that can be used at home.
Baby yoga is an activity that you do with the baby and can be enjoyed by mums, dads, grandparents and carers.
It provides learning opportunities for babies to move their bodies and strengthen them in a fun and supportive way. Baby yoga encourages bonding with the baby as the partnering adult is constantly looking for cues and interacting with them to see how they fit the movements.
It teaches relaxed holds, energetic walks and fun movements that the babies thrive on. If practised regularly, health benefits include regular bowel movements and good quality sleep. When appropriate the adults will be given some yoga postures to do by themselves and for mums this includes post-natal exercises. This class creates a feeling of wellbeing for the babies and adults and is a joy to teach.
Sarah is a qualified Primary Teacher and remains registered with the GTC Scotland. She is a certified Yoga teacher for adults, children, teens, and babies.
She also has certificates in Bach Flower Remedies, Touch for Health, Holistic Massage, Art Therapy & Reiki.
Since overcoming ME in 2002 and Candida her continuous studies on healthy living are a big passion and she enjoys passing on what's worked in regaining her own health and vitality for life.
"Leah and I loved baby yoga as soon as you walk in the room you feel relaxed by the atmosphere created. the class itself is wonderful for the babies because it not only allows mummy's (or daddy's!) to have lots of close contact with baby's through gentle massage and touch but also gives baby some gentle exercise through gentle movements which can be great for things like colic. I also loved that the babies can interact with each other while the mummy's do some yoga which again is lovely. all finished off with a healthy snack and some chat in a relaxed environment. it's a great class I would recommend to all mummy's with young babies."

"I attended baby yoga classes with my 9 month old son and found the whole experience overwhelmingly positive. The classes were welcoming, the activities were gentle and fun and most importantly, my son greatly enjoyed every aspect. From the outset, the teacher stressed that the whole class was "baby led", meaning that what we did was determined by what our babies wanted to do at any time; nothing was compulsory and the class was structured to encourage our babies' natural behaviour, development and interaction at all times. It was incredibly supportive, positive and nurturing; a wonderful bonding experience for parent and baby."

" As a first time dad, I.ve been taking my daughter to Sarah's baby yoga class in perth whenever i can for 8mths or so I think? She's 23mths now and not a baby anymore but gets a lot out of the class. Crawling all over me during yoga moves, retreaving toys from Sarah's big red bag, or just staring at the other kids and babies from underneath the safety of daddie and then cuddling in during songs and movement bits at the end.
For me as a dad, it's a huge privilege to be able to do guided yoga, song and movement with my wee girl and in such a relaxed calm setting. And it gives the wee one a connection for doing her own ramdom yoga demonstrations with me at home or in the park, often accompanied with a description such as "downward dog", very funny as she almost never speaks in the class.
Sarah's classes are always very welcoming. Never a problem that I am a guy and most others in the room aren't. If you love your baby and like other babies it's pretty easy to fit in. "

" I attended Sarah's yoga classes from week 15 of my pregnancy right through to delivery of our beautiful daughter in the spring of 2014.
Even when our daughter was at the stage where she was only happy to be with myself and her daddy, she always settled in Sarah's arms and I'm convinced this was due to the wonderful association of Sarah with peaceful relaxation that was made during our weekly antenatal yoga classes.
When Sarah started the baby yoga classes we jumped at the chance to attend, and both thoroughly enjoyed them. The classes were baby-led so were adapted on a weekly basis by Sarah to suit the needs of our daughter dependent on her mood, developmental stage and need for milky refreshment breaks!
Each class focused on a series of exercises and postures for baby and mummy which facilitated bonding and relaxation. For our daughter, the combination of singing and gentle movements were not only fun, but promoted the development of her motor skills, body awareness and social skills.
For me, the stretches and positions provided a much-needed counteract the flexed posture of breastfeeding and an opportunity to work on regaining my strength and core stability.
Our weekly sessions were a wonderful opportunity to spend some special chill-out time together amidst the sleepless nights, nappy changes and endless loads of little person laundry!

"Sarah's class was one of the first classes that I took my daughter too, it was such a comfortable and calming environment. My daughter was allowed to be her inquisitive self without being forced to do anything that I or she was uncomfortable with. It was lovely to learn new ways to interact, play and learn that I could also take home and do - we still practice at home now and she is 18mths old. It really helped with my 'new mum' confidence and was a lovely way to meet other mums."

""We've been attending Sarah's Baby Yoga classes since Rory was 3 months old and have loved them since day one. I love how relaxing and supportive the classes are and Rory always comes out of them a sleepy, chilled out baby. It's been great to watch Rory grow throughout the classes and giggle at his favourite parts but also watch how it's given him the confidence to interact with all the other mums, babies and Sarah too. Rory is quite a wriggly, active wee guy so it's great to do something that can engage, but also sooth him at the same time as he can often get over stimulated. I would recommend baby yoga to anybody who is looking for a relaxing yet active way to engage with their baby while having a lot of fun too :)"

"Sarah's baby class was a really positive experience for both me and my baby. I especially enjoyed and treasured the one to one time spent together. I found it relaxing and beneficial for my health and judging from my baby's laughter he was clearly enjoying the songs, stretching and movement! I would highly recommend. Months on, we are still practicing the yoga poses! "
Kirsty Johnston
"I came to Sarah’s class with my granddaughter who loved the interaction with the other children, the gentle exercises and the songs.
This is more than yoga for babies but also provides support to parents and carers who can often feel isolated when children are very young. The adults can even get to do some yoga postures as well if they wish!
Sarah’s gentle encouragement is very nurturing and she offers a welcoming and supportive environment to everyone.
Do give it a try!"
Amanda
" Going to Sarah’s baby yoga class was such a special time for me and my daughter. With the bond so strong between Lucy and her mum it was nice to have a space that was just for us. Baby Lucy Loved all the interaction and the techniques such as the massage and stretching really that have really helped me connect with her back at home. I would highly recommend all fathers to give it a go."
Adam
" Sarah's mum and baby yoga class was the first one I went to with my son when he was three months old. It was perfect for my first weekly outings - very laid back and friendly and I was thrilled to find something in Kinross too. I loved that there was a mix of yoga for mums and for babies and we really enjoyed learning the songs and actions. It was great to feel relaxed and comfortable feeding my son during the class when required and helped boost my confidence nursing in public - I felt like I'd found a group of kindred spirits! I'd definitely recommend the baby yoga class for anyone who wants to get back into fitness after having their babies in a really gentle and relaxed way.

"Sarah is very welcoming and friendly and is extremely knowledgeable in yoga for both baby and their parent. My daughter thoroughly enjoys baby yoga and we cannot recommend Sarah highly enough."
