What is the Yogababy program? (for babies 12 weeks to actively crawling)

The Yogababy program is a special sequence of movements for your baby that assists in their postural development from lying to walking. We recognise that your baby needs to strengthen its muscular abilities and nervous system.  Lack of physical exercise for a baby will have the same effects as for an adult - poor digestion, constipation, emotional agitation, poor circulation and laziness.  In the yogababy classes, we recognise that the baby needs to strengthen both his/her muscular abilities and nervous system.  The baby's physical development requires times of unfettered energy expression and times of peaceful stillness.  In the yogababy classes, both these needs are met. 

The yogababy classes include special activities to bond with your baby and connect with other mothers.  After the baby yoga sequence, there is time for yoga for you, followed by singing and time for you and your baby to socialise with others. 

Since the yogababy classes are baby centered we will ask you to attend to your baby's needs either by feeding, changing, holding, or generally reassuring them in your presence. With the support of others, you will be able to develop a balance between doing yoga for yourself and meeting the needs of your baby.
