 These are small  weekly classes for mothers and babies from about newborn onwards up to the time your baby is crawling. The class starts with a section of soothing yoga and there is an emphasis on tummy and pelvic floor toning as your baby is looked after by the pregnant mums from the class or any newborn grannies or aunties that would like to attend, there follows a section of relaxing “mummy massage”. This will not tire you out and is aimed at the relief of the strains of caring for a young baby, as well as a breathing and relaxation time. Your baby will be near in my home, so you can stop to comfort or feed when necessary. This is followed by baby massage, using organic sunflower oil, which I provide. This is a chance to learn techniques under instruction, which you may wish to add to the routine of caring for your baby. Massage can help tummy grumbles in babies, help their general development and enhance mother and baby contact. If your baby does not enjoy the massage to start with you may wish to watch and learn and try at home, as sometimes it can take a few weeks for you both to settle in. There is a nursery/action rhyme section, which all the babies absolutely love.    The session ends with tea, biscuits and discussion of issues around parenthood - being with other mums in the same situation as you is incredibly supportive and coupled with the yoga will help you to feel rejuvenated and refreshed, as well as empowered!

    Please bring an old thick towel, and a yoga mat if you have one. Wear stretchy, comfortable clothes.LOCATION/TIME: 12.00 to 1.30pm - BOOKING/PAYMENT - All classes are confirmed by Lynda only once the form and post dated fee are received by post. Classes are not refunded or carried over if you miss a class for any reason, as you pay for your place in the class. However, I can offer you a place in my mixed ability Monday night class at United Reform Church (without babies) for the following week you missed, or invariably there are mums and babies on the reserve list who would like to be called if you know you have a space available and they leave their class payment in an envelope for you to collect at your next attendance. If you no longer wish to attend please let me know so I can wish you luck and refund any unused payment.Tel. 07815 79 28 57
