Baby Yoga
4 Week Course
From 3 months onwards
Taught by Sue: a qualified and experienced Baby Yoga teacher
This 4-week course aims to provide you with the skills and knowledge to safely practice yoga exercises with your baby.
Baby Yoga is a wonderful follow on from Baby Massage as we introduce more energetic and stimulating yoga exercises.
The course incorporates a mixture of Hatha (Gentle) and Ashtanga (Active) yoga practices for parent and baby.
The Yoga sessions give you as the parent the opportunity to focus on relaxing through breathing exercises and aligning your posture through Asanas.
This course includes the following:
- Teaching to give you the skills and knowledge to practice yoga postures safely
- Handouts with step-by-step instructions to enable you to continue your practice at home
- An understanding of the benefits
- Accompanying nursery rhymes and songs to enhance the enjoyment of the exercises
- Refreshments and homemade cake!
- A chance to meet with other parents and form a support network
Benefits of Baby Yoga:
- Promotes flexibility, stretches and strengthens muscles
- Improves sense of balance and coordination
- Promotes body awareness and brain development
- Helps baby to release wind
- Active and stimulating (Ashtanga Yoga)
- Calming and relaxing (Hatha Yoga)
- Enhances baby-parent bonding process
Yoga mats are provided, however, to be mindful of your own position I suggest bringing a pillow or cushion for your comfort.
I also recommend wearing loose and comfortable clothing for your ease of sitting on your yoga mat.
For baby I recommend layers, as unlike Baby Massage, baby will remain clothed for Baby Yoga.
