Mom And Baby Yoga

You don’t have to leave your baby at home to do yoga. In a warm and caring environment of our yoga studio you can enjoy the wonders of yoga together, through the loving interaction between the two of you.

The class combines

- yoga poses and breathing techniques for the mommy,

- yoga poses for the baby

- yoga poses for mommy and baby together

- infant developmental movements,

- infant massage

- deep relaxation for the mommy and baby together

Mommies benefit enormously from mom & baby yoga because:

- The yoga postures and movements are particularly designed for new moms to relieve tension in the neck, shoulders and back, as well as to strengthen the weak areas after birth.

- It helps mommies re-discover the magic power of the breath, especially for the situations when they need to be calm and rest

- It helps mommies grow more confident with their babies, because they learn natural ways to calm and connect with their baby on a deeper level

- It strengthens the bond between mommy and the baby

- Mommies can apply the techniques at home

- And of course moms enjoy making friends with other moms and babies enjoy being around other babies!

Babies benefit enormously from mom & baby yoga because:

- it helps babies grow physically and emotionally, developing awareness and positive sense of their bodies

- it fortifies the baby’s trust in the parent

- it strengthens the bond between the baby and the parent.

- it helps babies sleep better and longer,

- it eases gas pain and helps babies digest more easily,

- it reduces anxiety and developmental stress, as it teaches relaxation techniques

Some notes about the class:

1. The class is not silent like a regular yoga class. The priority is ALWAYS set around what your baby needs. If your baby needs to be fed (by breast or by bottle), changed, or simply held without any movement, this is what you will do. We develop responsiveness to our babies, learn to read the signs, and never go with our agenda if the baby doesn't like a particular movement at a particular time.

2. If your baby is "fussy" and cries often, it is not the reason why you shouldn't come to yoga. When the baby cries, if you wish, you can stay inside the room, or take a walk to the next room, which is however, completely up to you.

3. Please bring your baby's favourite sheet, towel or blanket, as well as a baby massage oil.
