Baby Yoga in Newcastle Upon Tyne

Mum and Baby Postnatal Yoga

Practicing Mum and Baby Yoga is a beautiful way to nurture the mother and baby bond and to share your experiences with other mums whilst promoting healthy development in your baby. Becoming a mum again, or for the first time, can be a daunting experience and being around others who are going through similar things can help to lighten the load and to remind you that you’re doing just fine. The classes offer a safe and social setting for you and a learning and fun environment for your baby.

What To Expect

The yoga practice for you is specifically for the postnatal period and helps you to heal from the inside out. The postures are tailored to strengthen pelvic and abdominal muscles, which can be weak after pregnancy and childbirth, and to release tight shoulders and neck from holding and feeding your baby. All the yoga postures are adapted so that you can do them with your baby.

You will learn breathing exercises that will help you to feel more energised when you are lacking in sleep, and less stressed when motherhood becomes a little more challenging. We also cover breathing practices that can be combined with toning exercises to strengthen core abdominal and pelvic muscles.

The yoga practice for baby includes massage, playful stretches to improve your baby’s digestion and coordination, and singing with holds, lifts and movements to stimulate your baby’s development on every level.

The relaxation at the end of class is for both mum and baby’s wellbeing as it is calming and soothing for all involved whether you are walking, sitting or lying down.

All yoga is about going with the flow and if baby’s happy, mum is happy therefore feeding, changing etc can take place at any time during the class.
