Mother & Baby Yoga

Claire's Mother and Baby Yoga classes are loads of fun and of huge benifit to both mummies and babies alike. She has trained extensively with Birthlight, International Association of Infant Massage & the British Wheel of Yoga in Postnatal Yoga, Baby Massage & Baby Yoga to ensure that her classes bring you a complete view of how you and your baby can enjoy positive postnatal experiences together. Claire's postnatal classes are specially designed to aid mum’s postnatal recovery whilst engaging, bonding and relaxating with baby. Specifically we look at helping mum to regain strength in the bodys, along with finding ways to open areas of tightness and find space for relaxation. In particular, we look at ways to reconnect with the body and work with it and the breath to gradually build long lasting tone, health & wellbeing. We explore postures and practices mum's can do with and without their babies so they can easily continue their yoga at home.
We also include elements of Baby Yoga in the class so babies feel the benefit too! Baby Yoga helps to ease digestive issues & colic, helps babies to relax and establish better sleep, assists spinal development, co-ordination and motor development and build their confidence through interaction with Mummy
Classes are informal and relaxed, allowing the opportunity to feed, change, comfort or soothe your baby to sleep whenever necessary. It’s a wonderful environment to meet new mums or reconnect with old friends from our Pregnancy Yoga classes.
