From Acorn to Oak With Love

We’re loving our new **FATOWL Family Fitness** class! It’s the perfect way to embrace movement and exercise alongside your little one. 🏃‍♀️💪

In each session, you’ll get to enjoy a workout that’s designed for all fitness levels, with exercises that keep your little one entertained and engaged. It’s not just fitness—it’s bonding time, fun, and a boost of energy for you both!

Come join us and discover a healthy, active way to spend time together. 💙

When It’s Cold Outside, What’s Better Than a Cuddle? 🥰

As the days get colder, there’s nothing quite like cozying up with your little one for a warm cuddle. Not only does it feel amazing, but cuddling also has incredible benefits for both baby and parent:

💖 **Promotes Bonding**: Physical touch releases oxytocin, the “love hormone,” deepening the bond between you and your baby.

💤 **Calms and Soothes**: Cuddling helps regulate your baby’s emotions, reducing fussiness and promoting a sense of safety and calm.

💪 **Boosts Development**: Skin-to-skin contact is linked to improved sleep, feeding, and growth—helping your little one thrive!

So take a moment, grab a blanket, and cuddle up. These are the moments that warm the heart. ❤️

➡️What happens when you join our new term of classes starting this week?

🥰You’ll have a fun class to attend for you and your little one over the next 5 weeks - which can help build a routine and something fun to look forward to.

💕You will have so much fun with your little one - a chance to bond with them knowing it will make a huge difference in their development.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒Our community of other mums, dads, parents, teachers and carers will make you feel welcome and it will feel like a big hug when you attend each class.

☕️We will make you a cuppa after class that you can enjoy, safe in the knowledge that your little one has had a fab time - now it’s your time.

✨You will make Susan, our amazing teachers and I super happy as we get to do what we love and support you.

Join our new term starting tomorrow. Book at Fatowl.uk

**Calling All New Mums & Dads! Join Our Baby Massage Class for Newborns**

Our baby massage class is the *must-join* experience for you and your newborn. 💆‍♀️ Each week, we’ll guide you through strokes and techniques focused on a different part of your baby’s body. This allows you to practice at home, and by the end of the term, you’ll know exactly how to give a full body massage, including strokes that help ease wind and discomfort.

This class helps build your confidence as a new parent and deepens the bond with your little one. But even more than that, when you join, you’re stepping into a supportive community of new parents who are on this journey with you. You’ll find friendship, connection, and plenty of encouragement, plus a warm welcome—and a cuppa waiting for you at the end of each class! ☕

🌟 I’m not sure if its ok to do this but i am writing a recommendation for one of our own classes 😂

I went and took part today in our new FATOWL FAMILY FITNESS CLASS with Pavla at Cramond Kirk Halls and i did the whole class and I LOVED it! 🙌❤️

3️⃣ So far Ive been going to help look after the little ones so parents can work out in peace but as it is week 3 of our current 5 week block already all the wee ones have settled so well and were playing with toys and don’t need me so i joined in!

This is what i loved:

💫 Pavla’s approach and experience. Firm but motivating and giving loads of tips and guidance on form (ill be working on those lunges pavla! 🙌🙏)

💫 The camaraderie with the other Mums (Dads are welcome too!) I loved the way Pavla set the room up today so we could all face each other and encourage each other. It felt really supportive but that we were all concentrating on our own exercises too.

💫 The pace. It was just right. Its a 45 min class & we pretty much all worked out for that time and got a good workout 🏋🏻‍♀️ I loved the range of activities too - squats, sit ups, lunges, weights (or using baby or toddler as a weight), press-ups, funny ice skating dancing 😂, and I’m sure there was more!

💫 The cup of tea, chat & biscuits at the end. 😅

👏 Bravo Pavla it was fab 👏

👶🏽 Although we capped it at 6 parents to make sure it was manageable i reckon we could definitely welcome another couple of parents and wee ones so I’ve opened up 2 more spots for the last 2 weeks so please do book on if you’d like to come next Friday and/or the next ☺️ You can book here https://from-acorn-to-oak-with-love.classforkids.io/info/1119 🌟

Name me something cuter a baby dresses up for Halloween! I’ll wait
