Happy Babywearing

There are many benefits to both baby and parents of babywearing or sling carrying, here are a few

 

Research shows that baby wearing…

…promotes good digestion, thereby reducing colic & reflux.

…reduces crying & fussiness.

…provides a rich learning environment.

…stimulates synapses development in the brain, thereby expanding baby’s learning potential.

…decreases stress hormones in baby’s blood stream.

…offers a sense of security, which is vital for self-esteem.

…develops muscles need for sitting, standing and walking.

…stimulates the vestibular system needed for balance.

Mama and Baby Yoga

This five week postnatal and baby yoga course helps you reconnect with yourself, with your body and your breath. Postnatal yoga helps you to develop physically and mentally, finding strength, flexibility, relief and rest in your body, your breath and your mind.
At the same time our baby yoga asanas help your baby deepen their understanding of what and where their body is, how they can currently move and what potential their bodies hold and ways they are separate from you and ways they are connected to you.  Asanas are adapted to suit babies across the age range, developing confidence, range, shape and movement as each baby grows and changes   
Mignon Mama and Baby Yoga, for pre mobile babies (from around six weeks to starting to crawl).  This is a five week course, with each class building on the previous class so regular attendance makes a real difference.

This course costs 100CHF for five session block or 25 CHF per session.
