This is a fun 10 Week Course for mother and baby together, in a friendly and
supportive environment.
The class begins with 15-20 minutes of Postnatal Yoga for you, using
postures to gradually and gently help you to regain physical strength and
tone your muscles. This is also a chance to enjoy relaxation and renew your
energy.
Your baby is next to you, lying on a cushion and you are free to pick
her/him up and feed, change and cuddle him/her at any time.
The rest of the hour is Baby Yoga. This is a lovely opportunity to bond with
your baby – special time together, focussed on each other and having fun
together!
Baby Yoga can help soothe colic, improve sleeping, stimulate your
baby’s mental and physical abilities and develop breathing capacity. It can
soothe crying and develop bonding. We use fun exercises and songs and I
demonstrate how to handle your baby with ease and confidence.
Two of the ten sessions are dedicated to Baby Massage. You will learn
a simple full body massage routine using nourishing oils. Massage is a
sensory experience for a baby and can help babies develop sensitivity to
touch. It gives a sense of security and wellbeing. It can help ease
discomfort, aid digestion and release tension. Massage helps develop good
muscle tone, coordination and suppleness. It can help regulate breathing and
strengthen the immune system. It also aids sleep, builds your baby’s
confidence and is a wonderful way of bonding more closely.
The class provides a delightful time for you and your baby to relax and have
fun - together and with other mums and their babies - leading to happy
confident mums and babies!
