About the Class
Mama Grooves is a relaxed, feel-good babywearing dance class in Cardiff, designed especially for new mums and their babies. This unique mum and baby class combines gentle movement with uplifting music, offering a supportive and welcoming space to move your body after birth.
​
With your baby safely snuggled in a carrier, you’ll enjoy low to medium intensity postnatal fitness, helping you rebuild strength, boost your mood, and reconnect with your body, without pressure or expectation.
​
This isn’t about “bouncing back.” It’s about taking time for you.
​
Our baby classes in Cardiff are designed to be completely judgment-free. Babies can feed, sleep or cry, and you can go at your own pace. Whether you’re new to exercise or looking for a different kind of postnatal fitness class, Mama Grooves is all about community, confidence, and joyful movement.

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Sophie, the founder of Mama Grooves, a babywearing dance and postnatal fitness class in Cardiff for new mums.
​
Dance has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the age of 4, I trained in ballet, tap and jazz, performing in local productions and developing a lifelong love of movement. In my early twenties, I rediscovered that passion through dance fitness, and the joy it brought stayed with me.
​
In March 2024, I became a mum to my son. Like many new mums, I explored a range of mum and baby classes in Cardiff and was lucky to meet some incredible people along the way. But I often felt that many spaces were centred almost entirely around the babies—and I found myself wondering, where are the spaces for mums?
​
Mama Grooves was born from that question.
​
What started as a passing idea, a dream of creating a babywearing dance class, quickly became something I couldn’t ignore. With support from my partner and a close friend, I trained as a fitness instructor, exercise to music instructor, and completed my pre and postnatal qualification, alongside babywearing peer support.
​
Mama Grooves is more than just a class. It’s a space created with mothers at its heart. A place where you can enjoy gentle postnatal exercise, rebuild confidence at your own pace, and find your rhythm again.
​
There’s no pressure here. No expectations. No “bounce back” culture.
​
Just music, movement, and a supportive community of women who understand this stage of life. A space where you can bond with your baby, connect with other local mums, and take time for yourself.
​
I created Mama Grooves because I truly believe mums deserve spaces like this—and right now, it’s something unique among baby classes in Cardiff.
​
Babies on, beats on—I can’t wait to groove with you!
