Prenatal and Mother and Baby Yoga Sessions

Restorative, energising, educational and social, both prenatal yoga sessions and Mother and Baby Yoga sessions are something more than the yoga classes offered by conventional yoga studios.

 

I am a qualified prenatal teacher, breastfeeding and postnatal supporter, as well as a prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher.  This means that each yoga session includes discussion, Q&As, specific topics and that all important social village building that keeps families going.  

 

For more information on the different yoga sessions available please see Prenatal Relax, Stretch and Breathe/Yoga for pregnancy and Mother and Baby Yoga

 

All BCT members are invited to join a free RSB or Mother and Baby Yoga class, but you do not have to be a BCT member to attend

Mama and Baby Yoga

This five week postnatal and baby yoga course helps you reconnect with yourself, with your body and your breath. As your new role in your family evolves this postnatal yoga series gives you the opportunity 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   
Practicing yoga together with your baby can bring happiness, peacefulness, connection and understanding between the two of you.
We use both baby and postnatal asanas and movements, breathing and singing activities, stretches and rest and integration time to have a feel good time each week, taking care of ourselves, of our family and our community and world as we adapt to life with this baby.

Mignon Mama and Baby Yoga, for pre mobile babies (from around eight 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.  however we know how it can sometimes be difficult to get out of the house with a small baby, so six dates are available for the price of five, giving a make up class option at the end should you need to miss a session during the series.  And if you amen all five then the sixth class is a free bonus class for you.

If you have a baby that is already mobile (crawling or walking) and you would like to join a Mama and Baby Yoga series with them please get in touch with me.
