Yoga

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.
