ABOUT
It's true what they say….. having a baby changes everything. For me it has transformed my life, I have channeled my passions into new directions. Everyday brings new surprises, new challenges and new achievements.
Little Lotus Baby has grown over the years and I have taken the decision to divide the website into two parts. Little Lotus Baby for all things baby related and Colette Bruce Yoga for Pre-school and Kids Yoga.
If you want to explore some online tutorials or get in touch with ANY questions about Baby Massage, yoga and/or kids yoga please just pop me a note and I will get back to you ASAP.
After the success of the My First Yoga book which I consulted on with DK Books I went onto write another book; Yoga Mouse Starts School which is another step closer to encouraging Yoga into the school day.
My time is currently very limited at the moment as I officially work one day a week spending the rest of the time home educating my son. I am focusing more on my goal of supporting young children and families with integrating yoga into their lives.
I am currently working on a project to launch to local authorities and schools to encourage yoga as a whole (not just asanas) system of wellbeing to underpin their school day. This is desperately needed for staff, children and the collective.
Schools have the power to create radical and wonderful change, which as a society we need. Yoga could be one of the foundations to help underpin this. Knowing this is my happy place.

So how did Little Lotus Baby start?.......Here is our story....
I couldn’t wait to meet my little baby and start having lots of fun together. Being a first time mum I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I knew I wanted to explore different classes, meet new people and cherish my time with my son before returning to work.
Baby Yoga was just incredible and I looked forward to doing our little yoga sessions at home everyday. It became a time when everything else around us didn’t matter…..it didn’t matter that I hadn't done the hoovering or the shopping, all that mattered was connecting with my beautiful baby. Looking deep into his little eyes, listening to his chatter, encouraging it by singing to him and chatting back, moving his body in gentle ways to encourage his development, flexibility and aiding his wind (of which he had a lot).
We were not only playing, we were communicating, bonding and helping one-another. I felt so happy and empowered during these moments. I knew the routine and I knew that I was making a positive impact upon my baby's life.
I wanted to learn more and to also explore how I could share this holistic approach with other parents to aid with their baby bonding, confidence building and the physical issues of colic, wind, reflux, silent reflux, teething and sleep (or lack of).
My son is not a baby any more and he is growing up fast and my business is growing and transforming alongside him. I now have two sides to the business Little Lotus Baby is for all things baby and Colette Bruce Yoga is for all of my Preschool & Kids Yoga classes, workshops and books.
My dream has come true I am running my own business that is so heart cantered that I won an award for it.

Out of the mud the beautiful lotus grows and flourishes. Massage & Yoga equip babies with the start in life that will aid them in gaining the emotional, social and physical attributes needed to thrive wherever and whatever they do.
"Both myself & Evie loved our massage classes! Evie is well & truly on the move (crawling), we are able to bond through massage in all sorts of situations"
- Georgia & Baby Evie
"What a wonderful bonding experience. It was so enjoyable for both me and Tilly. The class was very relaxed but also informative. You can understand when and how to use the techniques at home. Highly recommend!"
