MUM & BABY YOGA

This class is a great way to have fun with your baby while giving yourself some love too!

​

It's an opportunity for mummas to focus on some much needed self-care: we work on relaxing and stretching out our aching shoulders, necks, lower backs, wrists and side bodies, and creating stability and strength in our core - with particular emphasis on the pelvic floor.

​

For baby, we use toys and props while doing the mumma exercises so it becomes a bit of a baby sensory class, and then when we focus on baby we sing songs and do some gentle baby yoga exercises to help with ailments such as colic, wind and indigestion.

​

It's also a safe space just for mummas to share how you're feeling. You're encouraged to share tips and advice, to ask each other questions and help each other get through the crazy world of being a new parent - and make some new friends in the process!​​

​

It's a very relaxed class where anything can happen! We laugh when the babies parp and we understand that sometimes babies may need to feed, cuddle or sleep... and at other times they like lots of stimulation.

​

The class is suitable for beginners to yoga as well as those with more experience, and is a safe exercise for the postnatal period. It is suitable for babies up until they are moving so much you spend all your time chasing them round the room and have no time on your mat!

How soon after I give birth can I join this class?

If you had a 'straightforward' vaginal birth, you can join the class six weeks after your baby was born if you feel ready to do so.

If you had a c-section, please wait at least 12 weeks before joining the class. You just had major surgery and you need to give yourself time to heal properly.

If you are unsure when to join, just send me a message and we can chat it through.
​
What do I need to wear and bring?

Wear something you can move freely and feel comfortable in. Leggings/ joggers and a loose top are a good option. Bare feet is preferable so you don't slip. ( No - you don't need to have a pedicure to come here. We're mums, who has time for that?!)

​

What do I need to bring along to class?

A blanket or towel for your baby to lie on

A water bottle to keep you hydrated

Your normal baby bits - change bag/ snacks if needed, etc
