Mindful Mamas Postnatal & Baby Yoga

Service Description

Mindful Mamas Postnatal and Baby Yoga is a welcoming class which teaches yoga for mum and baby, as well as mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Yoga is an ancient practice from the east, and encorporates the mind, body and breath into a mindful state of finding balance between steadiness and ease. The yoga class is 45 minutes and is suitable from birth - fast crawlers/pre walkers. You can join in/opt out of any part. This class is BABY-LED, so please feel welcome to attend to your baby with whatever they need, whenever they need it. You are welcome to feed/change your baby throughout, and don’t worry if they fall asleep or cry. This is a safe space, we all understand what being a new mum is like! Ran by Holly, a mum of two, 200hour yoga teacher and doula. Expect some light baby massage, yoga and singing for your baby, aimed at supporting their development. You will learn techniques which you can practice at home. The baby segment is always included, however the main focus is mama here. We will move through a gentle asana (yoga posture) flow, and finish off with a short, relaxing meditation. The final 30 minutes are optional for refreshments. Free tea/coffee and biscuits are included, you are welcome to stay for a social chat, but there is no obligation to stay. (Please note that the terms ‘Mamas’ and ‘mother’ used refer to and include any/all type of parent and caregiver. The mums flow will be tailored to postpartum recovery, however Dads, parents, caregivers and guardians are definitely welcome and can still benefit from a gentle yoga practice) What will you need to bring: Yourself and your baby, some water, a blanket (to place baby on) and anything else you need. Mats and toys are provided and are sanitised in between every use. You are welcome to bring your own mat/toys if you prefer! :)
