The postnatal period is a very special and delicate time for mother and baby. Mummy and Me yoga classes provide a supportive environment where the mother can reconnect with herself physically, mentally and emotionally while bonding with her baby though the practice of yoga. Babies love watching mum move along with them, and also enjoy the infant engagement part of the class where we stimulate them with some gentle movement.

When can you practice? Speak to your GP first and if they say it’s ok, then come to a class six weeks after the birth of your baby. If you had a cesarean section, then it’s best to wait at least 12 weeks. Always listen to your body and rest when you need.

Mummy and Me classes are very sociable and allow the new mother to emerge from the potentially isolating and confusing stage of early parenthood. You’ll get to meet other new mums and share your joys as well as your frustrations. Postnatal yoga uses movement, balancing, strengthening and restorative poses that allow your body and mind to recover from the pregnancy and birth.
