Mum & Baby Postnatal yoga is a great way to bond with your baby and to get you out of the house!

It’s a great way to get moving again in those tender weeks and months after giving birth. Here are 6 amazing ways this beautiful practice can help the modern mum.

1. Bonding: You will gain confidence in handling and communicating with your baby while enjoying postures that are beneficial for you both.

2. Increases strength & mobility: Yoga is a great way to gently introduce the body to exercise again post pregnancy. It will gently strengthen and tone the muscles, building abdominal strength, working the pelvic floor while reducing tightness and tension in all areas of the body.

3. Socialising: You can meet and interact with other mums and babies in your area - a great opportunity to share tips and make new friends.

4. Breathing /relaxation skills: Yoga classes can help you learn breathing techniques to keep you calm and centred, helping you to relax your mind and body - ultimately promoting better sleep for you and your baby.

5. Playtime: It’s all about fun! Yoga classes create a special place for you and your baby to play and interact using sound, rhymes, singing and movement.

6. Massage and touch: You can learn strokes to help relieve gas and colic pains while aligning your baby and stimulating their digestive and immune system.

Your body needs to be nurtured in the postnatal period and Mum and Baby Yoga is a fantastic starting point to get you back to moving your body and feeling great.

After class you’ll find you go about your day in a more calm and centred way. Every new mum needs a little bit of that in those early weeks and months!
