MUMentum is a social group for mums in and around York. We run a multitude of events monthly that are designed just for mums and others designed for mums and their children.

Mum only events:

We hold one big mum only event every month! So far, we have done a range of events including dinner, drinks, and escape rooms. We also aim to do one health or fitness related event a month such as martial arts and ariel hoop. We also have one online event (usually over zoom) a month and a book club that runs over a 6-week period. This give  you plenty of time to read the current book chosen by the group! We then meet for a discussion over coffee and snacks before planning the next book. If you would like to join any of these events find us on our social channels linked below.

Child friendly events:

Our child friendly events alternate between Wednesdays and Sundays so please check out our social channels to see what we are doing, where, and when! The child friendly events have varied in range and have included play parks, museums, and café visits.

Feel uplifted and connected through singing together… and enjoying tea and cake!

We are a group focussed on women’s wellbeing. This is a rare group for women at all ages and stages who want the healing power of music and community in their life.

Why do we sing? Because it feels good! And there’s science behind it…studies have found that group singing lessens anxiety, eases postpartum depression and reduces stress hormones. Music making exercises the brain and body. It improves breathing, posture and muscle tension.

Children are very welcome and are able to witness their mum joyfully singing and soak up the magic, and sometimes join in too. We start with a simple warm up and then sing uplifting songs from all over the world! We create beautiful sounds and layer up our voices in harmony. You do not need any singing experience to join us! Parts are taught by ear and there is no pressure to join in, feel free to listen and be soothed by our voices.

‘I can’t sing’ voices welcome! We sing for connection, not perfection.

When:
Mondays (termtime): 9.30 – 11am, at Heworth Without Community Centre, Y031 0HQ.

Contact Jess to book!

💜First session free!💜

Exercise With Baby- Postnatal Fitness Classes

Pregnancy & childbirth are accompanied by some pretty significant changes in your body. The right exercises can help you heal and recover.

Designed to improve your strength, movement & flexibility , these classes are ideal for anyone looking for a safe, gentle and progressive reintroduction to exercise.

In addition, we will be covering pelvic floor exercises and diastasis recti (separated tummy muscles) all the things us new mums sometimes need some help with!

Even if you had your baby 3 years ago, this class is for you too!

Everyone attending the classes comes away with so much more than a workout. You will get:

~ Your own set of resistance bands
~ An ebook full of our workouts, plus some extras you can do at home
~ Support from myself between our sessions
~ A new group of mum friends
~ A cuppa after each session
~ Opportunity to join our FB group to help support and encourage each other

Tuesdays Term-time in 6 week blocks 10.30-11.30 at Crayke Sports Club

I look forward to meeting you and your babies
