Local business YogaPupz has launched new play-based yoga sessions for babies and toddlers in Washington, Tyne and Wear, to help children develop their physical coordination and bond with their parents.
The classes began in late January 2026 and are held at Millie’s Magical Garden Soft Play on The Oval. Sessions take place every Tuesday morning (term time only) from 10:40 AM to 11:25 AM.
The programme is split into two age groups, with baby yoga available for infants from approximately eight weeks up to about 12 months, while toddler sessions are designed for children of roughly 14 months to four years old. Each class uses rhymes, songs, and sensory activities such as bubbles to keep children interested while they move and relax.
Jill, director of YogaPupz Ltd, holds a Level 2 certificate in Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND), and the service is listed on the NHS Service Directory as “Toddler Yoga With Yogapupz.” Families interested in joining the current term can find more information and reserve a place online through the Bookwhen booking platform (the classes are also listed on Happity).
