Baby and Me Yoga
What is a Baby and Me Yoga Class
Baby and me yoga is a great way to gently ease yourself back into exercising as a new mother, whilst bonding with your baby. During a class you will spend time with your baby playing, moving, breathing and relaxing together in a safe supportive environment.
Movement and postures are specialised to cater to the post-natal body to help with post birth recovery, strengthening pelvic floor muscles, helping to ease aches and pains in the body and teaching breath work to help find calm in the mind.
Whilst you gently move your body your baby will
get to have lots of special bonding time with you
as you sing and move with them. Throughout we
use movements for baby to help with development,
digestion and sleep. You will get to learn some new
songs to practice with baby at home.
At the end of the class there is homemade cake and a hot drink which are brought to you so that you can enjoy spending time with the other parents and build your support network.
At the class you will find a supportive teacher who will demonstrate different levels of movement depending on your physical abilities, recovery and goals. You will be greeted with a warm smile by a mother as well as a teacher.
You’re welcome to join as soon as you’ve had your six/eight week check-up or 10 weeks post Caesarean section
