Baby Yoga

What is Baby Yoga and how does it benefit my baby?

A Baby Yoga class stimulates all the senses, because of the combination of handling, touching, singing and movement. It improves the function of all of the body’s systems, including digestive, circulatory, nervous, vestibular and excretory systems, as well as giving greater confidence to mum or dad when handling and playing with their baby.

As the brain is developing so quickly during the first few years of life, the stimulation of a Baby Yoga class will enhance the developmental process, strengthening all the functions of the nervous system through touch, song and movement.

Doing yoga with a baby means playing, stretching, singing, having fun, interacting together and then relaxing together. Regular yoga practice with baby will help to tone your own muscles and also help to bring harmony to your own body post-natally.

Post natal exercises for mum are included in this class, which focus on the pelvic floor, the abdominals and shoulder and chest stretches and openers. Coming along to a Baby Yoga class is a wonderful opportunity to engage with baby one to one, during these precious first few months of life, learning how to read baby’s communication cues and of course is a great way to meet new friends.

Please bring along a mat to lie baby on.
