Kids yoga classes in Gateshead and surrounding areas

Hi! I’m Emma and I run children’s yoga classes as well as baby yoga and baby massage across the Gateshead area.

A bit about me

After giving birth to my daughter Esme in March 2017 I was keen to get out and about with her making the most of my maternity leave and socialising with other mums. It was then that I discovered Kalma Life baby yoga and decided to join in with the classes which we both absolutely loved. I’m so excited to be able to offer that and other benefits to parents and children.

Whilst working in the retail industry I decided to retrain in the education sector, and so when the position with Kalma Life came up it was ideal. I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to run my own business, whilst working with children, and still spending lots of quality time with Esme. I am fully trained and insured whilst holding first aid and safe guarding certificates and I have a enhanced DBS.  Kalma Life are also proud owners of a GOLD accreditation from the Children’s Activity Association.

Meet Steph…

 Hi I am married and have 2 children Charlotte who is 4 and Albie who is only 9 months old. I have a degree in childhood studies and care and education and have worked in nurseries for 10 years. I have a huge passion for working with children and when I saw this opportunity I couldn’t turn it down- it’s what I’ve always wanted to do! I’ve personally attended classes with my daughter when she was younger and knew how fun they were but also the many health benefits of attending classes. My daughter was late developer at walking and classes really helped build up her leg strength! I’m so excited to be a part of Kalma life and excited to start a new career path. Can’t wait to see you all!

 

 

Meet Beth… 

Hello! I’m Beth. I’m so excited to be teaching yoga to babies, toddlers and children with Kalma Life 

 I’m a qualified primary school teacher with 8 years of experience as a class teacher in the early years and KS1 and I love to practise yoga myself.

I’m married and have a son called Ned, who is 2 and a half. I absolutely loved taking Ned to the baby and toddler yoga sessions, and I’m so excited to be able to share my love for children’s yoga with other parents and children! These classes were such a highlight of the week for us during the early days of sleepless nights and busy days, and I’m so excited to share in that journey with others and create the happy and calming space that we enjoyed so much 

I can’t wait to get started and get out and about meeting you all soon!

What do people say about us?

Baby Yoga classes with Kalma are incredible! A great way to bond with your baby and benefit their development too.  We have been attending classes with our 9 month daughter, its our favourite activity to do.  Mel and Penelope

We have had Kalma Junior classes in our school working with KS2 now for over a year.  Kalma have delivered Yoga and Mindfulness with our pupils and they have developed a lovely rapport with the children.  The children look forward to some winding down tie and relaxation during their busy school days.  Deputy Head Jane Bush 

Our energetic toddler has been coming along to Kalma Toddler classes for two year now.  Its a much needed hour in the week where Henry can find some time for himself.  He loves his downward dogs and the fun games they play whilst relaxing at the end with the bubbles!  Pippa and Henry 

Our schools are saying...

 

”All of the children across each of the year groups enjoyed the sessions which Kalma Life brought into our school.  They consistenly commented on how calm and relaxed they felt as a result of them.
