About Laurene

The postnatal period is a whole new world which many are rarely prepared for.

Postnatal Yoga - Bring your Baby

Wednesdays 11:15am-12pm

£10 per class / Pre-booking required

 

Becoming a parent is a huge change, physically, mentally and emotionally. This class is designed to support you with that transition, allowing you to move your body and connect with your baby and other new parents.

 

This yoga class is a great way to ease yourself back into exercising as a new parent, while bonding with your baby. Relax, strengthen your muscles and have fun. Gentle yoga moves are designed for you and your baby to do together so you can bond while getting fitter.

 

Please note:

- Suitable from 6 weeks after vaginal birth or 8 weeks after a c-section, right up until your baby is on the move.

- As with any exercise after birth, it is always a good idea to get the all clear from your doctor before you start classes - ask them to check whether you have Diastasis Recti (separated tummy muscles) as that is helpful to know, so exercises can be safely tailored.

 

This class combines baby massage techniques with yoga variations if baby wants to be held.
