Mama & Me Yoga

Taught in an intimate and relaxing environment, my Mama & Me Yoga classes have many benefits. For mama, they help with troublesome postnatal issues such as tight shoulders, weakened core and lower back and pelvic issues. For baby, yoga is proven to help with flexibility, digestion, co-ordination, balance, developing language and fine motor skills. Together, the classes encourage bonding, understanding and learning to read each others cues. They are also a great way to get to know other mums and babies, to make lasting friendships for you and your baby. Everything taught is easily adapted as baby grows and can be practised at home. There is no need to have previous yoga experience.

Classes run in 5 week blocks and are open to mums and babies once mum has the okay from the GP to return to gentle exercise (usually 6 weeks for vaginal birth and 10 weeks for c-section), and before baby is an active crawler!

Mama and me Together

Being a Mum is the most rewarding job in the world, but it can also be the most challenging. In the early days everything is new and unknown, for you and baby. Even if you have other children, this is your first time to be with this baby, learning to understand and connect with each other. To nurture this connection, we have designed our Mama & Me Together class, teaching massage, reflexology and movement routines, that not only promote the health & well-being of your little one, but also encourage a long-lasting bond between you and your baby.

Each week we sing, we rhyme, we laugh, and sometimes we cry, all the while connecting with our breath, our bodies, our babies – learning to relax and have fun together.

During the classes you will learn and practice specific routines for your little one that can improve relaxation and sleep; ease digestion; relieve symptoms of wind, colic, and constipation; support baby’s growth and development; improve circulation; boost baby’s immune system, and much more…

After we have finished class, each week we encourage the group to exchange ideas and experiences over tea/coffee & homemade treats, giving you the chance to chat with other parents/caregivers in a relaxed and supported environment.
