Little Circus – Parent & Baby

Circus, Mother and Baby

A gentle, playful circus-inspired class for parents and their babies, supporting connection, recovery, and ease in the early months after birth.

This low-impact class blends soft, supportive movement for parents with baby-inclusive play in a relaxed, welcoming space.

Classes focus on easing common postnatal aches while gently rebuilding strength and confidence. Babies are welcome to lie, wriggle, watch, and join in, moving at their own pace alongside their caregiver.

Sessions include:
• Gentle core, pelvic floor, and postural exercises
• Slow stretches for shoulders, hips, and backs
• Baby-inclusive circus play using scarves and soft props
• Simple balance and coordination activities
• Time to pause, rest, feed, or cuddle as needed

Requirements:

Suitable for:
• Babies from confidently holding their head up to early crawling (approx. 5 months+)
• Parents of all fitness levels, including those returning to movement after birth (with medical clearance)
