Hi my name is Louise and I am the creator of Yum Yum Yoga. I have been a yoga, pilates and aerobics teacher for the past 22 years . I am a British Wheel of Yoga Diploma holder and have the Birthlight Toddler Yoga Certificate and I am currently doing the Birthlight Baby Yoga Diploma. I also have 'A' levels in Dance Theatre Studies and Communications. I was inspired to create Yum Yum Yoga when I had my daughter Summer and saw how she loved to move , explore and sing. I created Yum Yum Yoga because I wanted to share my love of yoga and yoga philosohpies with her. The joy of movement and exercise, sharing and being kind, following simple instruction, taking care of the world around us, eatting healthy food, being positive about ourselves and others and loving life!

Alice Mitchell co-creative star!

Alice is part of the creative team at Yum Yum and runs classes in Wellington. She has two boys Isaac and Felix. Alice has a First Class BA (hons) Playwork degree as well as A-levels in Dance and Communication Studies. Alice has a foundation level one certificate from the BWY and has practiced yoga for the last ten years and comes from a musical background. She has 10 years experience working with children and feels passionately that children are the experts at playing!

Through play children master skills in all areas of development. The interwoven mix of yoga, music, dance, movement and imaginary play at Yum Yum Yoga help to nurture, inspire and encourage children to do what they do best - play!
Children are natural yogis and do yoga moments quite naturally. With help and guidance we would like to help you do the same with your child.

We are really chilled out relaxed people so please don’t worry if your child is shy or doesn't’t want to join in straight away. With you participation and encouragement they will be fine! Don’t worry if you think your child won’t sit still. The Yum Yum philosophy is relaxed nurturing one with a free spirited approach.

Children learn from repetition, rhythm and rhyme. So we keep things simple and repeat them. We will sing some songs you know like ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ pretending to be a star. We have also written some simple Yum Yum tunes and rhymes to go with the movements. Don't worry if singing isn't your thing you can have just as much fun listening. We also have some lovely props to make the class even more fun and magical. Each term we explore different themes and learn about the world around us. During this term we are exploring the home and how we can help Mum and Dad we are also looking at different modes of transport and fun places to visit. We also encourage inquiry and ask questions to stimulate communication and thought processes.

Please wear suitable loose fitting clothing, bare feet and bring a drink for the both of you. Bring a mat or something similar for both you and your child. We believe Yum Yum yoga holds the magic that will allow today’s children to be healthy in mind, body and spirit.

So skip, slither, bounce or fly over to your nearest Yum Yum Yoga class.
We would love to see you!
