What is Baby Yoga?
Baby yoga is a beautiful way to celebrate your growing baby. It offers your baby lots of opportunities to stretch out and enjoy the freedom of movement and interaction both with you and the other babies in the group. It is a wonderful progression from Baby Massage as we invite the baby to be more involved and aware of their movement. It is a lively and fun class with numerous health benefits for baby and mother, as we do lots of stretches aimed at relieving stress in the mothers body also. It is suitable for babies aged between 4 – 10 months.
