Tatty Bumpkin classes and clothing were born out of a love of yoga and a love of fun. Loosely based on yoga postures, classes are suitable for all children, including those with special needs - Baby Bumpkin (0-2) and Tatty Bumpkin (2-7). Each class encourages your child to explore their physicality, increase their confidence and engage their minds, whilst not being competitive. The Tatty Bumpkin Bendy Doll is used to help children form each pose. The baby classes have more pastoral care and massage included.

Starting with the warm-up song "Bendy, Giggly, Clever and Strong" classes use adapted yoga poses to introduce the concept of "learning through movement" before the magical adventure begins - an amazing place where we'll meet animals, fly like helicopters, be sausage rolls and much more!

The range of clothing is suitable for children aged 0-7 years which are either ethical (fair trade), carbon neutral or simply organic or bamboo as well as class associated toys, mats, dolls.
