Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby! Yoga is a wonderful way of looking after yourself after the birth of your baby. Yoga relaxes the nervous system and brings balance to the endocrine system (hormonal balance). It helps to create a balance between your body's physical needs and your emotional state. For babies 6 weeks to actively crawling.

Those Yoga classes focus on yoga postures specifically designed for the postnatal months by helping your body regain strength and tone in a safe and effective way. The emphasis is on strengthening the pelvic floor, the abdomen, legs and back as well as on opening and relaxing tensions in the shoulders, neck and arms. The yoga taught in these classes is gentle and slow, giving you time to integrate the experiences of your body after birth.

In each class we focus on:

- Restoring stability in the pelvic floor

- Building strength and tone in the abdomen and lower back

- Opening and relaxing tensions in the shoulders, neck and arms

- Improving circulation and posture

- Breathwork and relaxation techniques to calm the nervous system and relieve stress.

No yoga experience is necessary. Classes are suitable for babies from the age of 6 weeks to pre-crawling.

Yes! Sometimes your baby will cry during class, and that's ok! You are encouraged to feed, change, cuddle and comfort baby when needed, but we also understand that sometimes babies (and mums too) are just having a shitty day, and need to have a cry. Go for it babies. You and your mum are in a safe and supportive environment.

We will also do yoga on baby, which is a wonderful playful way to connect and bond with your baby.

Places are limited to 8 students, ensuring you get the most out of your practice.
