Mother and Baby Yoga
Yoga builds physical and emotional contact between parents, babies and young children and promotes joy in family life.
Kat teaches Mother and Baby classes for new mums and their younger babies (suitable until babies are mobile) and Parent and Baby classes for mums/parents/guardians and their mobile babies/toddlers. Both classes are interactive between Parent and Baby. This keeps the babies interested!
Mother and Baby classes are more suitable for younger babies and postnatal women. Of course, either parent or guardian is very welcome to come with the baby to enjoy a yoga class that's beneficial for both. There is an emphasis on postnatal healing, particularly focusing on practises that tone the waist and the pelvic floor and increase women's awareness of consistantly supporting themselves in this area. There is a balance of stretching and relaxing sequences to encourage healing, vitality and postnatal recovery for mums, with sound, movement and massage for baby to nurture his or her overall development. Suitable for babies aged six weeks to mobile.
Parent and Baby classes are more suitable for older babies that are crawling and walking. There are bountiful interactive practises between parent and child, giving adults the chance to build strength and flexibility while keeping children amused! The emphasis on postnatal healing is still present, with a focus on postural awareness, valuable for all carers who regularly carry children and perform the physically demanding tasks of childcare!
Some comments from students...
"Great balance between things for us (mum and baby) to do together, and yoga focusing on me, helping me get back into shape, and relax!" Rose with baby Luke, 4 months
"Kat makes us feel at ease and there are no expections so my baby and I can have the space to enjoy time together." Sally with baby Robyn, 9 months
"I really like your classes, I've heard other mums say baby yoga is hard because the babies get bored but yours is totally designed to keep babies happy. I also like how you smile and keep it all light, funny and friendly - yoga can be a bit serious and earnest." Rhonda with baby Martha 5 months
