I found Happy Baby when my husband and I were moving to the South Bay from the East coast and I was looking for prenatal yoga! Fast forward to me now having a 7 month old and Happy Baby is my second home. Prenatal/postnatal classes are great. I did both prenatal boot camp and prenatal yoga but I was a little limited since I had to stop working out. Once I was cleared to work out, I was at some kind of class 4-6 times a week. Being able to bring your baby to class and get to meet other moms is fantastic! The majority of the fitness classes are taught by Lauren, who is an AMAZING teacher. She kicks your butt all while being the most encouraging, empowering teacher ever! Mama classes- I have done the mindful mama class with Khefri and it was such a great resource as a new mom! I also made new mama friends who I have kept in contact with even after our class ended. read more

TLDR: If you and your spouse are lost in the sauce on this whole having a baby business, or if you're like me and just want to be prepared for anything, I highly recommend taking the Prepared Childbirth Series with Patricia. You'll be glad you did. Long version: Having a baby for the first time was definitely daunting for us. There were too many what-ifs and unknowns that made us nervous about the whole birthing process. I'm so glad we decided to take Happy Baby's Prepared Childbirth series with Patricia. It was an informative, fun, and confidence-boosting experience. I actually had to convince my husband to go with me: He walked into the first class saying he's there cause I told him to be there (gotta admire the honesty). After the last class, however, he left saying that he was glad I forced him into taking it. (yay me!) The moment my water broke, I was able to apply things that I learned in class that kept me calm and collected(we even went grocery shopping the next day). We were able to check into the hospital mentally and emotionally prepared, even though labor did not pan out as we had planned. We were well educated so we were able to ask about our options (most of which aren't discussed) and feel confident and comfortable with our decisions. By the time I started active labor, my husband was able to use the skills he learned from class to help me through my contractions, so much so that I was able to deliver without an epidural. The support and encouragement that he displayed throughout the whole process just made me fall even more in love with him (cheesy, I know). I can't thank Happy Baby enough for offering the series and everything we learned. I've been recommending this series to all my family and friends who are pregnant or planning to be since I gave birth. So my fellow Yelper, do not hesitate any longer. Take the class and feel empowered like we did. read more

Great classes, super clean, friendly and knowledgeable staff! Leah, the owner is professional and has created a fantastic studio!

I cannot say enough positive things about Happy Baby. My daughters and I recently purchased the monthly membership and it has been the most positive experience for us in a month of difficult transitions. Erin and Jules have gone the extra mile to check in with me and message me about my daughter's needs. She is a sensitive child who has really embraced the small, personal classes and has verbalized that it is a safe environment for her. Additionally, we celebrated her 4th birthday party at Happy Baby and it was a blast! Erin and Jules helped with the planning, setup and takedown with smiles throughout. They allowed my daughter to feel extremely special and celebrated. Her words following the party were, "this is the best day ever!" They are very reasonably priced and flexible with planning. If you haven't been, check out the classes and events at Happy Baby. You won't be disappointed. I'm so glad we did! read more

To my Yoga Mamas, Our experiences at Happy Baby will help us in our journey through labor. Working out 5 days a week at a traditional gym I was able to see the difference between traditional and prenatal classes! Beyond the physical fitness our prenatal yoga class and fitness with Sam helping strengthen our muscles, yes the pelvic floor. The best preparation was our Wednesday kundulini yoga. The sat num breathing allowed me to dilate to 5 cm and 2 min apart contractions without any pain medications. I felt the courage that I could have taken it further. However due to an emergency my natural birth plan was tossed and an c section was started. I chanted and took deep slow breaths and accepted the spinal block and stayed still. Willing to accept what was to come for health of baby and I. Now that our little boy is a week old today and currently in the NICU I have to pump vs. Breastfeed and ladies I know we all thought Khefri was Weird when she asked us to massage your breasts, play with them, smack them around. However that was one of the best pieces of advice when it comes to breastfeeding as you get such a better milk production by massage. So ladies practice Sat Nums, get to know your body massage away, and get ready to ride the wave in whichever direction it takes you. Namaste and thank you Happy Baby read more

My baby really enjoys the classes there. They have great instructors. Everybody is so kind and loving. This place helped me recover post-partum with their yoga and cardio classes specially designed for new moms. My baby learned how to socialize. I enrolled my baby at 4 months of age. She's 7 1/2 months now and she's very social, attentive, and willing to learn. I highly recommend this place for any mommy. read more

Family Wellness Studio - Baby Drum Circle - Yoga Near Me - El Segundo, California

What a great spot! I discovered Happy Baby via my KidPass trial, which I used to sign my 11-month old up for a Music Class. It was pretty great, and we used more of our KidPass credits for yet another class at Happy Baby, and this one was even better than the first! Really talented, wonderful teachers and impressive class structure - I enjoyed it so much more than other Mommy and Me style classes I had previously tried (such as MyGym, for instance). My son loved it and it was very engaging. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

This was the only place I could find that offered an in-person birthing class for my husband and I. I'm so glad I found it. The class was small and personalized. The staff and teacher were friendly and helpful. I really felt welcomed and empowered by what I learned. Such a difference from the online class we took. The studio also offers a myriad of other classes from prenatal yoga to a baby sensory class. I definitely want to go back when my son is born. read more

Wow, what I can say. This place is amazing for expecting, new and experienced mothers! I have been going to the prenatal class with Khefri since I was 12 weeks along and I am hooked. I literally cannot miss a week of class and make sure to have arrangements for my other kids to make it. I get sad when there's a sub for Khefri but the subs are great too. It's just that Khefri is all that and a bag of chips! The studio is located on Main Street in El Segundo in a cute little space. It's run by two moms who opted out of the corporate rat race! So yay for supporting small business owners that are women. They have many prenatal classes and other classes geared towards postpartum health and even classes for the kids! It's awesome. The class I attend is a kundalini prenatal yoga class and uses chanting, breathing, mantras as well as a variety of yoga poses. I find it rebalanced me and calms me down each week and recharges me to deal with everything on my plate. Happy baby has a variety of payment options including pay per session, buying a number of classes in a package in advance, or the best deal is if you only attend one class to pay a monthly fee and only go to that one class. Hope this place continues to thrive and provide a wonderful space for moms and families. read more

I'm new to the westside so I decided to start taking mommy classes here. This place is such a safe place for mothers to feel supported and also meet other moms. I love the workout classes and my Mindful Mama Class. I've met some really wonderful moms who I hang out with outside of classes which is the best; it has made me feel like I have a real community. Thanks Happy Baby! read more

Owner is friendly and makes an effort to chat every time I'm there. My son loves the music class.

My wife has nothing but good things to say about Happy Baby (HB). She became stay home mum 1.5 years ago and needless to say, she is so glad for the existence of HB! There are many types of classes she gets to attend with our son throughout the week and our son practically grew up with HB studio. Classes we would highly recommend are (1) kids yoga classes on Wed and family yoga on SUN with Jules; she is AMAZING with kids, including the fussy ones! (2) Baila baila on Fri with Camila; another amazing lady who not only teaches young kids spanish, she incorporates dance and movements to make it super fun. (3) mama workout classes with Lauren; classes with Lauren will make you sweat big time. She is full of energy every time despite being a mother of two young children herself. It feels like it's home when you are at HB! read more

I'm so happy I stumbled upon Happy Baby. I love everything about this place! The music and yoga classes are so fun, my 10 month old loves them. Also, I belong to the working moms mommy and me group which has been so nice to connect with other moms and babies. Erin the instructor (and one of the owners) is so sweet and informative! Definitely recommend Happy Baby to all moms- first timers or not! read more

I am in LOVE with happy baby studio! I have been to many classes (thanks to the 1 month unlimited new student special) and loved them all. I was desperate to find somewhere that I can connect with other mommas as well as expose my 1yo to music and yoga and ballet and I found all of the above at happy baby! The owners are incredibly sweet, genuine, welcoming and nurturing too. They will take care of you and are always available. If you're still having doubts reach out to them! They will win you over! I have been taking classes with Jules since I was pregnant and she just continues to amaze me with her contagious joy for life and littles! read more

I feel truly blessed to have happy baby as a community yoga center for me and my whole family. Every teacher is unique, knowledgeable, dedicated and full of love and light. As a woman and a mother this studio continues to offer every family member of mine the support we need. Also, it is clean! The bathroom is clean!!! They have great cork blocks!!! I love their community classes for adults only as well their family classes read more

I have been coming here since opening day, and besides a month off when I was out of the country, we have been coming weekly ever since! Hands down the best place for babies and toddlers (im sure older too but I have only experienced these first two ages so far!) in the South Bay. My mommy and me group (we have all been together since our littles were 4months old) decided to move from another location that (for various reasons) to try out Happy Baby Mommy and me. It was excellent. We were in Erin's class (shes one of the owners and the most wonderfully kind, honest and funny women I know!) and she made so much effort to make sure we were all happy, learning in class, our kids were engaged and there were often speakers who came in to tell us about a variety of valuable topics to where we were with our babies. Fast forward a year and I am with the same group of moms in a toddler group with Brandi (the other owner) and we are learning how to navigate the "Toddler years". Again, this class is super informative, we observe our toddlers interacting with each other and their is child specialist in the group who does a good job giving insight in to what our toddlers are going through at this stage in life. It has made the "tantrums" so much more bearable, understanding that my daughter isn't doing it to be bad! Ballet with Miss. Alice on Tuesdays is a favorite of my now 19month old, she is fantastic with the kids and has many imaginative ways to get them doing proper ballet moves in a fun easy way (i can't tell you how many times a week my daughter sings "toes up, toes down" from this class) HIGHLY recommend. Music with Andy on Fridays has been a go to since my daughter was 5months old. He brings an 'instrument of the week' each time that the little ones get to listen to and then play. It's been a great way for my daughter to get in to music and Andy is very patient with all the babies, even the ones who try to climb all over him as he plays! haha There are so many events, moms night out, special workshops and classes I could mention but then this review would become ridiculous. haha In conclusion, I am VERY happy to have Happy Baby so close to our home, we plan to continue coming for many years to come!!!! read more

Erin and Jules are such a great team! They are super friendly, great with kids and dedicated to creating an amazing experience in their studio! read more

My 4 year old and I love Baila Baila! It's a fun, upbeat class with wonderful music! Both of us learned some great new spanish songs while having a blast. The studio has an open and inviting atmosphere decorated with super cute colors. We will be back again :) read more

Super fun yoga play date with Mommy & Me friends! The babes loved it and mamas had a blast too. Great new addition to the South Bay ...

Happy baby is ONE OF A KIND! With all of the studios in the area, there is no studio quite like this. Not only do they provide a number of fantastic mommy + me classes, but they also have a number of lifestyle workshops including vision for 2017 and goal setting, essential oils for your home and life, and pregnancy/nursing workshops. It's conveniently located right on Main Street in El Segundo and the owners are THE SWEETEST and most accommodating people with a passion for what they do. If you are a mom in the area, a soon to be mom or even someone looking for some specialized workshops, this is your spot! Oh, and they recently added yin classes for those looking to deepen there meditative yoga practice. Cannot say enough good things about this place. read more

Happy Baby is a great resource for new Mamas (and I am sure not so new Moms too!). I've done everything from pre-natal yoga, to baby music classes, to sleep workshops and working-moms support group and the classes, instructors, and other parents are great - and Erin and Brandy really care about their little 'tribe' :) Their new client special is awesome, so it's easy to give them a try! read more

Went to the music class - my 18 month old had so much fun! Great studio, super clean and well thought out in awesome location! We love Happy Baby! read more

My son and I attended a sing along music class here and he loved it! It was a fun group of kids and parents and my son felt very comfortable. It was easy to sign up and the class size was perfect. The guy leading the class was great with the kids and we had a really good time. We will be back! Thanks read more

I wish this studio had been here when I was pregnant and when my children were babies! Such great classes, workshops, etc. My 7-year-old is taking a kids' yoga class and he loves it. The owner and teacher are both so nice and patient. So happy to have this great locally-owned studio in town! read more

I love going here with my baby since getting the ok to workout. It's really nice to take a class with the baby, I get a good workout and the baby is entertained by the other kids and seeing me move around. read more

Every pregnant and new mom needs to know about happy baby. Their mom classes are a real workout, and they will calm your baby as needed (with your permission) so that you can get a good workout. Fabulous instructor gently repositioned me to ensure I was working the intended muscles. I'll be back to try the baby series. read more

This is a wonderful family friendly studio where you can workout and bring your kiddos. My favorite class is the Mama cardio blast with Lauren. It is a much needed option if you are on maternity leave or just need to fit in some structured exercise but have no one to watch your little one. Here, you can wear them in a carrier for extra weight or have them lounge on a boppy. Everyone is super friendly-I highly recommend this studio. Something like this should exist everywhere! read more

I took my 3.5 year old to yoga and fusion dance classes. All the teachers are very warm and friendly. My son enjoys them. The classes are interactive and even more well tailored for the little toddlers. I highly recommend this place for a good family activity with your little ones and to meet other families. read more

Erin & Brandy have hit the nail on the head with their mama & baby studio. It's such an amazing place for mama & baby. I only started coming a month ago but I'm so in love. I come practically every day. I have met amazing women & babies. I get to workout with my baby--where else can you do this?!? Everyone who comes here is so supportive of one another as fellow mamas. I especially love Lauren's mama sculpt/cardio classes. They kick my postpartum booty. Lauren is so upbeat and supportive when I just want to give up. I could go on and on about how amazing this gem of a studio is. read more

Very friendly staff and great work out! Love that I can bring my baby with me and she has a blast too! Best of both worlds! El Segundo is very lucky to have this little gem in or town! I'll be back. read more

A supportive and welcoming place to bring your babes/ kiddos for music, dancing, language/ cultural immersion, singing, yoga, support groups, and more. I'm amazed by the number of classes and workshops they offer. I've only been to two classes, but they were both great. The feel is relaxed, open, and organic. And the location is perfect for a stroll or meeting up for coffee or yummy food after. If I lived closer, I would be there everyday. It seems like a truly happy place. read more

An incredible place to get connected with other Mums and Dads, learn about top of mind topics (infant CPR, what to expect during birth etc) and stay active pre and post the birth. Thank you Happy Baby for building an amazing community in El Segundo read more

Both my kids took the Buddha tots yoga class and loved it. I would highly recommend Happy Baby, for the classes and the community.

Love this place! Friendly staff, clean facilities, great teachers and lots of different options for every age. My two year old enjoys the Buddha Tots class with Khefri, who manages to keep a great balance between structure and freedom. Baila Baila is also super fun. I haven't tried the adults-only classes yet, but have heard great things from friends. First class is free so be sure to check it out! read more

My favourite place to go! Love, love all the classes! I visited prenatal and postnatal classes and I enjoy the music classes with my little one. They offer a great selection of classes for babies, toddlers, moms and the entire family. Wonderful place to meet new mommy friends and to get a workout done while bringing babies along. We love it so much, we go almost every day! The monthly pass is the way to go!! HappyBaby has become part of my family. read more

It's not an exaggeration to say Happy Baby has been a life saver for me and my life as a new mom. Between the yoga/exercise classes (most of which you can bring your little one to) and the workshops (where you will likely meet your new best friends) Happy Baby is a one-stop shop for all of your physical and emotional needs pre-baby, post-partum, and throughout the young life of your kid. Definitely check out one of their "Preggo parties" if you get the chance. It's the perfect introduction to all of the Happy Baby resources available to you. And I cannot recommend the "Mindful Mama Postpartum Support Group" led by Khefri Riley enough. You will not find a safer, more validating space to laugh, cry, and learn. The pricing at Happy Baby is a little higher than you may find at similar places in the South Bay but it's for a reason: class sizes are always small and the quality of the workshops/programs/instructors is above and beyond anything I've found elsewhere. Erin and Brandi have built a place that can meet all your needs as a mom and you will love every minute you spend there. read more

Love this place! Happy Baby is such a wonderful combination of all of the best classes with an appreciation of what moms need. Super cool how the classes grow with your kids and how I can bring my baby for my workout. One of the best Mommy and me spots in socal. read more

What a wonderful place for new moms and their babies to find support, connect with other moms and have a little fun! This is just what I needed! read more

Happy baby opened just a few months after my daughter was born, and it was a saving grace. Prior to finding happy baby, I felt isolated, alone, and immobile. Luckily, happy baby is just a few blocks walk from my home, but more importantly, it's a safe, comfortable, welcoming place for my daughter and I. We take music classes, mommy and me workshops, and for the first year after my delivery, it was my primary gym where I lost most of the body weight and started to feel "normal" again. The team at happy baby is welcoming and supportive. Most of my mommy friends today are the other wonderful moms that I have met there. I can't recommend happy baby enough. If you're thinking that the prices are a bit high, just know that if you attend the classes and get involved with the other mamas, you will get far more in return than what you put in. read more

I went to family yoga on Saturday with my 3 and 5 years old. I loved it. The place is so cute, the teacher does an incredible job managing these wee personalities in the studio. She creates a fun environment with a lot of freedom for the kids, while providing a fun and engaging format that holds their attention (even to my crazy 3 year-old ) and encourages participation without being overbearing. My kids loved the songs and the posing. Plus parents can get some nice stretching and bonding with the kids. Can't wait to go back!! read more
