POST NATAL AND BABY YOGA bring together activities and relaxation practices that are beneficial for both baby and mother. The sessions are gentle and tailored to suit mums from six weeks after the birth onwards, and babies up to approx. six months old. For mums yoga can aid postnatal recovery, strengthens the pelvic floor and also the abdominal muscles. It strengthens the back and supports good posture. It promotes relaxation and restful sleep, relieves stress and anxiety and boosts energy levels. For babies, yoga helps with the bonding processes and can relieve common ailments such as colic, wind and constipation. Yoga will also encourage good feeding, promote restful sleep and support infant development with appropriate sensory stimulation. For information regarding small group sessions for mums with babies during the daytime please contact me. One to one private daytime sessions are also available

I offer a 'one to one' session for mother and new born baby in your own home soon after you have had your baby. This session is designed to help you learn good handling and feeding practices with your baby, awareness of good postural support, and pelvic floor strengthening. Breathing and relaxation are also included. This is invaluable as good practices started straight away help mum and baby to bond with confidence, and help with all the healing processes physically and mentally. These sessions can be carried out before your 6 week check up as they are very gentle and tailored to suit you and your baby's needs individually depending on your birthing experience. (This can be a shared session if wished)
