Mom and Baby Yoga
This is a fun way of getting back into shape after the birth of your baby. The classes are designed specifically to accommodate the effects of your recent pregnancy, and take into account reduced joint stability and core strength. However this is an opportunity to bring your baby along for the ride as you tone, tighten and realign your body.
Good for you and your baby
Infant research shows that when babies are massaged, rocked and bounced about within the context of a warm and interpersonal connection with their mother, they make great leaps in the development of their motor skills, visual alertness, memory and sensory discrimination.
What if my baby cries?
The classes are very informal and lively with babies from 8 weeks to 8 months old. Each mom and baby yoga class includes both flowing yoga movements and slow methodical exercises for strength and awareness. Throughout the class, moms will stop to feed or soothe their babies and will then rejoin the movements when it is possible and comfortable to do so.
There is absolutely no pressure or expectation for your baby to “behave” in a certain way in fact part of the yoga practice is accepting the babies just as they are, learning to cultivate awareness and breathing instead of tension and worry. The babies benefit from the bonding time with mom, baby massages and the stimulating environment of new baby friends! After a few weeks of attending babies start looking forward to the classes and once they synchronize with moms emotions, they even enjoy the relaxation time at the end.
No previous yoga experience required.
