Mum & Me yoga is about so much more than stretching on a mat — it’s about connection, calm, and carving out special time together in a busy world.

For parents, these sessions offer a gentle way to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your body while sharing meaningful moments with your child. Movements are designed to support postnatal recovery, reduce stress, and build strength in a way that feels kind and achievable — no previous yoga experience needed.

For little ones, Mum & Me yoga encourages natural movement, balance, coordination, and emotional regulation through play, songs, and shared poses. Children learn body awareness and confidence while feeling safe and supported by you.

Most importantly, Mum & Me yoga nurtures the bond between parent and child. Eye contact, touch, laughter, and shared breathing all help strengthen attachment and create a sense of security that supports emotional wellbeing — for both of you.

There’s no pressure to be perfect here. Children are free to move, explore, rest, or join in as they wish, and parents are welcomed exactly as they are. This is a supportive, relaxed space where connection matters more than poses.

Mum & Me yoga is your invitation to pause, play, and grow together — building strong bodies, calm minds, and beautiful memories along the way.

Why choose me?

Choosing a class for you and your little one is a big decision. You want a space that is welcoming, fun, and—above all—safe. When you join my mat, you’re benefiting from a unique blend of yoga tradition and professional childhood expertise.

I have years of experience working with children in my current roles as a Early Learning and Childcare Officer (ELCO). This has given me a deep understanding of the Curriculum for Excellence and the Realising the Ambition framework which means every song, stretch, and story is designed to support your child's brain and body development.

Why I Use the "3 R’s" on the Yoga Mat (And Why it Matters for Your Child)

In Scotland our national guidance, Realising the Ambition: Being Me, isn't just a document—it’s a way of seeing the world through a child’s eyes.

​As an ELCO I spend my days ensuring your little ones get the best start in life. When I decided to launch Sarah Dee Yoga, I knew I didn't want to leave my professional expertise at the door. Instead, I’ve built my Mum and Me classes around the "3 R’s" that define high-quality childcare in Scotland.

​1. Relationships: The Heart of the Mat

​In Realising the Ambition, we talk about how "attachment and secure relationships are the platform for all future learning."

​In Yoga: My classes aren't about a teacher at the front and a student at the back. They are about the bond between you and your child. You will use partner poses, eye contact, and shared breath to strengthen that "secure base," making the mat a safe space for your child to explore.

​2. Responsive Care: Listening Beyond Words

​Responsive care means noticing a child’s cues and responding with sensitivity.

​In Yoga: No two toddlers are the same! Some days they are full of "wriggles," and other days they need quiet. Because of my Child Development training, I don't force a rigid routine. If the energy in the room shifts, our flow shifts. I respond to where the children are emotionally and physically, ensuring they feel "seen" and understood.

​3. Respect: Honouring the Individual

​Respect in the early years means valuing the child as a capable, confident individual.

​In Yoga: We practice autonomy. If a child wants to be a "Lion" while we are doing "Tree pose," we celebrate that creativity! By respecting their choices on the mat, we build their self-esteem and body agency—key milestones in the Curriculum for Excellence.

The "Professional" Peace of Mind

​I know how much trust it takes to join a new group. That’s why I bring my professional standards to every session. I am SSSC registered, a current PVG scheme member, and fully trained in the latest Scottish Early Years guidance.

When you join a Sarah Dee Yoga class, you’re getting more than a workout; you’re getting a session backed by years of experience in childhood practice.

While my yoga journey began on the mat at home, my expertise in working with children is built on years of experience. 

Professional Accountability:

I am fully SSSC registered, ensuring my practice meets the highest standards of social service and care.

​Safety First:

I hold a current PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) membership, so you can feel confident and secure in my space.

​Developmental Expertise:

My background in Child Development training allows me to tailor yoga flows to match your child's milestones, focusing on everything from sensory play to early speech and language through song and movement."
