Family and Baby Yoga (Term 3 2025)

🧘‍♀️ Family and Baby Yoga – Mindful Movement, Connection & Calm

This gentle weekly yoga group is designed for new parents and carers with babies (from newborn to crawling). Led by Kristie, a warm and experienced yoga teacher with a deep passion for supporting families, this class offers a safe and nurturing space to stretch, breathe, and reconnect with yourself—while keeping your baby close.

🌿 What’s Included

Each session offers:

• Gentle yoga and stretching to support postnatal recovery, reduce tension, and strengthen the body

• Mindfulness and breathwork to calm the nervous system and bring presence to the parenting journey

• Flexible participation: practise with your baby in your arms, lying nearby, or playing with provided toys

• Demonstration doll used by the facilitator to show poses you can safely try with your baby

• Inclusive and calm environment—babies can feed, sleep, or play freely with no pressure or expectation
