You and your baby will both make friends while you stretch out your body in a "mom and baby" yoga class
The benefits of Postnatal Yoga Classes are:
- They help restore your body – the poses are geared toward the post-pregnancy body. There is emphasis on the parts of the body that need it the most such as upper back, neck, shoulders, abdominals and the pelvic floor.
- Rejuvenate your mind – the deep breathing can help calm a tired and overwhelmed new parent’s mind.
- They are a social network – yoga classes are a great way to get to know other new parents that are going through the same things that you are
- Ability to look after baby – since everyone taking the class is a mother with a baby, you can feel comfortable looking after your little one when needed, be it nursing or changing a diaper in the middle of class.
There are also benefits to the babies:
- Experience of movement combined with touch provides awareness of their bodies
- Yoga postures bring state of deep relaxation and promote deep sleep
- All the baby’s bodily systems are stimulated, including the digestive and nervous systems
- Baby yoga helps the parent and baby to get to know each other, enhancing communication between them
- Through the high quality attention the baby receives from it’s parents , the baby learns to interact with others and play actively
- The baby’s enjoyment of the positive stress of yoga will increase the babies ability to cope with future challenges
- Great place for babies to start interacting with other babies
