Baby Mindful classes offer parents with babies aged 0-6 months a rare opportunity to take time to relax and enjoy the new growing bond between them and their baby. The new born stage is a busy and exhausting time (albeit magical of course!) and any moments for mindfulness or relaxation can be few and far between, so these classes are a great way to start to carve out a little time for calm.
Classes gently follow seven steps of relaxation; Move, Play, Stretch, Feel, Breathe, Believe and Relax (steps also used in our sister classes, Relax Kids).
But what really makes Baby Mindful unique is that we acknowledge that it’s just as important for parents to have a sense of calm, as it is for babies. It’s so easy to forget parent’s need for a pause in those busy newborn months where focus is on a hectic cycle of feeding, changing, playing, (not) napping and feeding some more, so Baby Mindful classes aim to provide for both your needs, allowing you well deserved time to ‘just be’.

My Mummy & Baby Yoga classes offer relaxing and rejuvenating sessions especially designed for post-partum mummies and their new babies. My aim is always to guide and help you adjust your exercise routine to include your new baby and grow in confidence as you exercise together.
The classes last around an hour and involve gentle yoga stretches and postures for mums to aid recovery post birth, to increase flexibility and stamina and to restore integrity to the spine, the core and the pelvic floor and always at a pace that suits you and your baby. I always include some gentle baby yoga too. This promotes a sense of wellbeing, whilst soothing and bonding for you and baby.
Yoga provides a wonderful resource for you and your baby that allows you to deal more positively with the life changes that motherhood brings, dealing more positively with stress and encouraging mindful relaxation and self-care. Something that can so easily be over looked with new motherhood.
Benefits of Mother and Baby Yoga:
* Strengthening and toning your muscles, especially abdominals, pelvic floor and back.
* Encouraging you and baby to find time and space for relaxation.
* Using the breath to increase calm and confidence.
* Improving your sleep.
* Promoting understanding of your baby’s development.
* Engaging and bonding with your baby.
* Meeting other mums and sharing time together
No yoga experience required and you’re welcome to join after your 6-8 week GP check (Or 10 weeks post C-Section Birth). I have all the equipment you’ll need, just bring a blanket and a toy for baby, water to drink and a sense of humour. My classes are fun and friendly and I look forward to welcoming you to YOGA for 2.
