A beautiful space for you and your baby to connect, restore and simply be.

Mums and Bubs Yoga is a gentle 10-week program designed to support post-birth recovery while providing a safe, nurturing space for new parents to honour their emotions and embrace the beautiful and sometimes challenging journey of parenthood.

This gentle class supports your return to movement after birth, combining soft stretching to release tight muscles and fascia, supportive yoga postures to rebuild strength and alignment and breathwork and meditation to calm the nervous system, quiet the mind and offer moments of rest from sleep deprivation.

For your baby, the class offers a calm and nurturing environment. As you slow down and care for yourself, your baby benefits from your relaxed presence and energy.

Introducing your baby to yoga and mindful movement from an early age can also be a beautiful way to nurture and strengthen your bond.

Benefits

• Quality bonding time with your baby in a calm, supportive space

Who is it for?

• Mums and Bubs Yoga is for mums or dads who have recently welcomed a baby.

• You’ll need clearance from your healthcare professional to return to physical activity after birth, typically around six weeks, although this may vary.

• Our classes are a safe, welcoming and judgement-free space for new parents and their babies.

• Your baby is welcome to feed, sleep, cuddle or lie on their blanket during class. You are free to tend to them at any time, whether feeding, changing, rocking or comforting as needed. There is no expectation for babies to stay settled.

• Each class ends with a guided relaxation, giving you a moment to slow down and reconnect with yourself and your baby.

What should I bring?

• Bring anything that helps you and your baby feel comfortable.

• We recommend a baby blanket or play mat for Bub.

• We provide yoga mats, bolsters, blocks and other props and there is space for prams.
