About this class
Baby Sensory at FlowMotion.Life Yoga Studio runs on Mondays during term time: the birth-to-six-months group at 10:30am, the six-to-thirteen-months group at midday. The studio is at Unit 4, Olde English Road off Dale Road in Matlock. Sessions are £7.25 each and must be booked ahead — there are no drop-ins.
Every session follows a detailed lesson plan written by the programme's founder, Dr Lin Day. With over 40 years of practical experience working with parents and children — and a background spanning nursing, special educational needs, and early years education — she designed every activity to stimulate a specific sense or stage of development. A signature song opens each class. What follows moves through creative play, tummy time, movement, visual activities, textures, scents, and music; original and traditional songs and rhymes run throughout to support early speech; sensory signing gives parents and babies a way to communicate before words arrive. Each session closes with sounds that mimic the womb.
Activities are put together so they can be repeated at home during the week, not just experienced in the room. Marie leads the Central Derbyshire franchise, covering Ashbourne, Belper, Matlock, and Ripley. Many Baby Sensory class leaders first came to the programme as parents themselves. You are welcome to feed or cuddle your baby at any point — the session is built around your baby, not the other way round.
