Parent and Child Yoga in Solihull
Story-led yoga at brilliant local venues — for any parent, carer and their little one. No experience needed. Just show up.
Our parent and child yoga in Solihull is open to every parent and carer — mums, dads, grandparents, childminders, foster carers — anyone who'd love an hour of calm, joyful movement with a child they love. We run pop-up yoga events at hand-picked venues across Shirley and Solihull, each one with its own feel. Think less "sports hall on a Tuesday" and more "somewhere you'd actually want to spend your morning."

- Paediatric First Aid trained

Not your average yoga class
We believe where you practise matters. So instead of a fixed weekly slot in the same venue, we host parent and child yoga as events at a rotating selection of local spots — each one chosen because it brings something a bit special. The yoga stays the same (calm, story-led, gentle and fun) but the backdrop makes it worth putting in the diary. We partner with venues who share our values: warmth, community, and a genuine welcome.
Backstage Calm
Creative & intimate · Calm vibes
A thoughtfully curated creative space with a warm, artistic atmosphere. Backstage Calm events are smaller and more intimate — a lovely setting for a grounded, focused session with your little one.
Plonk
Social & energetic · Fun vibes
A more social, relaxed space with a playful energy. Plonk events attract a slightly bigger group and have more of a lively, community feel — great if you want yoga with a social hour built in.

New partnerships in the pipeline
We're always looking for the next brilliant local spot. Sign up to be notified when new events land — our community hears first.
Keep me posted →These sessions are for every kind of parent and carer
We use the word "parent" loosely and warmly. These sessions are open to:
- Mums — new and not-so-new (see also our mummy and me yoga events)
- Dads who want something active to do with their child beyond the park
- Grandparents who are hands-on with childcare
- Childminders wanting a structured activity with the children in their care
- Foster and adoptive parents looking for calm, trauma-sensitive sessions
- Anyone else with a little one who'd love an hour of story-led movement
Children from around 6 weeks old up to approximately 5 years are welcome. Older children may suit our after school yoga clubs instead.
What happens in a parent and child yoga session
Sessions last around 45–60 minutes and follow a gentle, predictable structure so little ones feel safe and parents can relax.
Welcome circle
A short settling-in song and hello stretches to bring the group together.
Story yoga
A themed adventure — jungle, underwater, space — where children and adults do the poses together.
Partner poses
Simple paired stretches and shapes designed to be done with your child. Great for giggles and connection.
Breathwork
Two or three breathing techniques your child can use any time: balloon breaths, lion breaths, starfish breathing.
Wind-down
A short guided relaxation. This is often the bit adults say they needed most.
Community time
After the session there's always time to chat, have a drink, and just be around other people who get it.
Private parent and child yoga — book your group
Looking for a private family yoga Solihull session for a special group? Got a group from NCT, a playgroup, a nursery parent group or a WhatsApp group who'd love to do this together? We can arrange a private parent and child yoga session at a venue of your choice — or at a member's home. Perfect as a playdate with a bit of structure, a special celebration, or a regular group session.
We can also run parent and child yoga as a community event at your nursery or children's centre — parents and carers attend alongside their children, outside of the regular nursery day.
