Baby Yoga Information

What is baby yoga?

Baby yoga is based on traditional yoga movements which have been used to help improve health and wellbeing. It takes much from the practice of yoga incorporating aspects of breathing, stretching and relaxation. Baby yoga sessions also include massage and songs to relax and captivate baby’s attention and to increase the fun. There will also be gentle yoga inspired stretches for you.
Baby yoga uses various poses and positions to promote baby’s general health and support baby development. They can help to increase a baby’s flexibility, provide beneficial stretching, improve muscle tone and co ordination. Baby yoga also provides tummy time and active play in the form of rolls, swings and dips which help to develop baby’s sense of balance and body awareness.
Remember yoga is non competitive. It is for everyone. There is no goal, just participation.
