Understanding Our Programs...
Each age group are taught very differently however, all the classes are very active involving exercise for the parent/carer as well as for the baby/child. Many exercises are enjoyed together, some with the use of props such as scarves, hoops, gym ball, puppets etc. All using lots of rhyme, songs and music.
Working in nurseries and schools we have ensured our classes are in line with the Early Years Foundation Stages
and cover Communication & Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
Mitchy Titch was awarded Best Pre-school Classes by Netmums
and has featured in a number of Local and National Magazines. Our classes are delivered in various venues, schools & nurserys across the country, not to mention lots of uniformed groups too, Brownies & Scouts love our sessions too.
Why not see for yourself, take a look at some of our classes here…
We are very proud of all of our highly trained instructors who are very dedicated individuals who believe our sessions are essential to our children's well being in this ever increasingly busy world we live in.

Baby Yoga
Babies 6/8 weeks to crawling are taught at a steady pace, giving parents time to digest the moves to use at home. Our classes help you connect with your baby and also include gentle postnatal stretches for you.
Sessions begin with a gentle, clothed massage for baby which is especially good for babys that have had a traumatic birth or mothers that have undergone a C-section or have postnatal depression. With positive touch your baby develops both physically and emotionally and enjoys a full range of movements with confidence. This is a great way to enjoy baby massage and yoga fun & fitness
Gentle exercise is encouraged for the parent/carer and classes are kept fun and stimulating with lots of interaction, song, sensory, massage, reflexology and yoga inspired stretches with a variety of props. Our unique Mitchy Titch techniques have been designed for the grown-ups to benefit too with our adapted yoga stretches, breathing and relaxation exercises which include partner and joint exercises which help to encourage peer bonding, so that you and your baby can make lots of life-long friends.
Our sessions end with a beautiful relaxation for you and your little one, most of our babies are ready for a good sleep by now!!

Lots of interaction, music, songs, props and sensory as well as individual and group activity.
- This class is as much about the parents and carers having fun as it is for the child and with songs & rhymes our toddler yoga classes are very educational. Yoga stories are a firm favourite!

Children perform yoga-style stretches to create an interactive story, such as: Bendy Bunny having a bad day, Going on a Treasure Hunt or fun at the fairground and often using their parent/carer as props in their story. This is a fantastic way for parents to enjoy physical activity with their children and reap the benefits of yoga in a fun and exciting way. Music, props, singing and games also included and as with all our classes we follow EYFS and SEN guidelines.
- Grown-ups in this class can get involved as little or as much as they want to, but our emphasis is always on family bonding and encouraging you to have fun with your child at home.

Fun Yoga
The Mitchy Titch Party
Stuck for what to do for your little one’s first Birthday or just want something different to entertain your toddler or young child. Ask an instructor in your area about a Yoga-fun and fitness party. Most teachers can offer basic to more elaborate parties and even theme it if you wish.
Yoga for Relaxation
We all lead such busy hectic lives and often neglect our health and well being. All of our instructors are very experienced and able to adapt our sessions to focus on the calmer, more relaxing side of yoga, creating yoga flows and relaxing visualisations for children. Please check with your local instructor how they can work with you to create the perfect session!
Private Yoga
This class is for those that prefer to do any of our classes in the comfort of their own home with their little one, as a family or with a small group of friends and is particularly good for those that do not have a local class on days you are available or if you are a little shy of groups and need to gain confidence with your child.
Why not book an early evening yoga-fun & fitness class to help relax your baby/child before bedtime, so that you can both have a peaceful nights sleep or for those that would like to share yoga with another family member that is unable to during the daytime.
If there is not a group to suit you in your area you could always request further information from your local Mitchy Titch Teacher to see what is on offer in your area.
