Our classes
At Rubba-Bubba, we deliberately keep our classes small (max 12 babies) because we know how overwhelming those early months can feel. In our relaxed environment, you can focus on what matters: connecting with your baby and building your confidence as a parent. Everything’s provided—organic massage oil, detailed handouts, and a HOT cuppa for those post-class conversations. You can start from newborn-no waiting lists or referral needed. Baby massage and yoga becomes more than just a weekly class; it’s the one place where your baby crying doesn’t make you panic, where other parents actually get why you’re wearing yesterday’s clothes, and where you leave feeling like you’re not completely clueless after all.
Baby Massage Stage 1 – From birth
Baby Massage Stage 2 – From 4 months
Baby Yoga stage 1 From 8 weeks
Baby Yoga stage 2 from 4 months
The Benefits Of Baby Massage and Baby Yoga
Touch is very powerful. We use it naturally and without thinking to calm, relax, reassure or heal. A simple hug says a lot. For example if our baby is upset, we may cuddle them or rub their back.
‘Babies have a biological need for close physical affection. Nothing is more important to their emotional, physical and intellectual development than a comforting cuddle or a loving touch.‘(Dr.Lin Day, 2008).
Baby massage and yoga an extension of this natural instinct. Massage has been around for thousands of years, however in the UK, it has only become popular in the last 10 years. It is a wonderful way of spending quality time with your new baby doing such a simple and beneficial activity together. Studies show that not everyone has ‘love at first sight’ with their baby; (after an initial wave of maternal feelings) nothing can prepare you for this amazing journey as a parent-but we can make it easier on the way!

Our Testimonials
Such a wonderful experience – I’m so glad I signed up. I was anxious about being in a group environment, but needn’t have been. Sarah couldn’t be more warm, welcoming and understanding. She creates a lovely, relaxing atmosphere and a great opportunity to bond with our tiny new humans and have some relaxing time with a cuppa! I really cannot recommend these class enough to all new mums (even if you’re a bit anxious like me)
Thanks so much!
After doing a Rubba-Bubba course 3 years ago with my 1st child baby massage was an absolute must this time too! It is a lovely relaxing class and a great way to meet other mum’s! Have just finished stage 1 with Rach and can’t wait to start stage 2 in September after having a taste of it today!
Highly recommend stage 1 massage, something nice to do with the little ones.
