yoga for mum and just for baby…
PARENT & BABY CLASSES: These classes are usually geared to accommodate babies aged 2 months to 18 months. The classes include yoga for the mum, baby and parent yoga postures, just for baby yoga, yoga for baby ailments, nursery rhymes and so much more.
In most parent and baby yoga classes, mums place a yoga blanket, usually covered with a blanket from home in case of spit-up or other spills, at the top of their yoga mat.
What if my baby has other ideas?! In an ideal world, your baby will lie on the blanket happily for the duration of the class. This rarely happens. The nice thing about a parent and baby class is that you are totally free to pick up your baby and feed her, rock her, change her, or walk her around the room if she cries. Amelia may also offer to hold the baby for you so that you can get a little yoga in!
Will My Baby Like Yoga? This depends a lot on the personality of the baby. Some delight in the new sights and stimulation of the classroom environment and are perfectly content to look around and take it all in. Others are freaked out by the very same stimulations and may cry a lot at first, but may eventually get used to it. So don’t give up if the first class doesn’t go well. A few may snooze happily through the whole thing.
Good for baby, good for mum. Some classes are very gentle and/or focus a lot on playing little game with the babies. The parent(s) will also get out of the house to a non-stressful environment where you will meet other new mothers. The value of this should not be underestimated. Amelia makes sure that there is time for a cup of tea at the end of each session; this is a great time to chat with other mums, make new friends!!
Name of business parent and baby yoga sessions offer the perfect space for quality time together and bonding in a carefully crafted learning environment.
