YOGA FOR MOTHER AND BABY
ADULT HATHA YOGA CLASS
INTRODUCTION TO BABY YOGA
Sarah’s baby yoga is the perfect opportunity for postnatal mums, with babies from 6 weeks to crawling age, to attend an appropriate yoga-based exercise class. The fantastic thing is that babies love it too! Baby yoga is an activity you can really do together, with mutual rewards to health and well being for mums and little ones alike.
Quote: “My son was premature and we had a difficult first few weeks and bonding was probably slower as a result. Doing baby yoga stopped me being scared of how vulnerable he seemed and I started enjoying him. I would recommend it highly to other mums (or dads) who had a difficult start”. (Sarah’s baby yoga class member: Kate 2007)
SO WHAT HAPPENS AT A YOGA CLASS?
There is a warm and friendly atmosphere and there’s no need for any previous yoga experience. All mats and cushions are provided (new mums have enough to carry!). All you need is a towel or blanket for your baby to sit or lie on. The class involves gentle postnatal exercises, focusing especially on the abdominal area, pelvic floor and posture, mixed with infant massage and simple baby yoga sequences for new babies to thrive. It is all done in a relaxed and playful way, with lots of songs and games. The sessions are rounded off with a short rejuvenating relaxation and chance for a chat and refreshment. If at any point during the session you need to feed, change or walk around with your baby it is absolutely fine to do so.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS?
For Babies: It enhances bonding and really helps the responsiveness between parents and their babies. It aids language development and communication skills It helps with colic and common digestive problems The sensory stimulation is great for neurological development Tips are learned to help sooth crying The physical activity builds strength and suppleness It can help with common sleep problems It lays the foundations for a life time’s love of physical exercise.
