Baby yoga is a loving and playful practice that encourages bonding between mum and baby, creating positive feelings and interaction. The practice is baby led and with roots in yoga; it is a mindful practice of awareness with respect. Though I use the term ‘mum’ here, fathers, grandparents or carers can join this Class with baby.
The Class focuses on baby and also includes gentle yoga for mums with breathing practices, stretches, postnatal strengthening and relaxation techniques.
We use dry massage techniques and yoga postures for baby which are often practiced whilst singing – this delights everyone, especially babies! Baby Yoga helps to build trust and understanding, enhancing communication and building confidence, as both mum and baby continue to get to know one another. This promotes a feeling of security, as baby becomes accustomed to mum’s touch, voice and smell. Baby yoga helps to release tension, is relaxing, calming and fun!
Baby yoga supports your baby’s individual development. Benefits for baby include:
• Improved digestion and relief for colic
• Strengthening the physical body
• Stimulating all the senses
• Balance and harmony of the body systems
• Helping to settle baby and improve sleep patterns
• Helping baby to move from reflex to voluntary movements
• Increases baby’s ability to cope with future challenges
'I found Baby Yoga incredibly healing and relaxing. It helped my son to settle to sleep incredibly quickly in the evening when it normally takes him a while. It also helped with my postnatal recovery. I would thoroughly recommend Yogalime compared to other styles of yoga, as it is very much in tune with mother and baby. If you can’t do a particular move or feel uncomfortable, Sky always shows an alternative that is equally as effective.’ Sabrina, August 2016
