WELCOME TO BABY YOGA 

Baby yoga is a playful and exciting activity to do with your baby. 

Keep your baby supple, strong and healthy through  yoga based stretches & swings, flying & rolling activities, relaxation & massage, and songs & games.

Babies love yoga!

WHEN CAN I START?

For babies aged 0 – 4 months it is best to join the baby massage classes first, as this class is designed for this  age and includes the very early stretches and postures of  baby yoga.

• For babies 4m+ who have good head and neck control, baby yoga classes will be perfect.(please refer to Class Times to find a class)
  
• Babies who have started to walk tend to find being handled and held gets in the way of their desire to move around on their own, so it is not always appropriate. However, every baby is different and if in doubt contact Kathryn to talk it through.

CLASSES

Baby yoga classes are one hour long and always start with a warm up, followed by a range of postures and stretches.

Each sessions includes some more dynamic and active games and movements before the babies are guided through a range of calming activities and a short relaxation for everyone.

The babies remain fully clothed for the sessions and it is helpful if the girls could wear trousers or babygros rather than dresses & skirts.

All sessions will involve some rhymes, songs and games.

• Classes are held in and around Chichester (please refer to Class Times to find a class)

WHY BABY YOGA

Baby yoga is a wonderful companion to baby massage and many parents progress from massage classes to baby yoga.

Building on the same benefits, baby yoga uses postures, movements and stretches to support physical, emotional and cognitive development.

With buggies, car seats, baby bouncers etc. many babies spend less time on the move, exploring their world and are becoming more passive. Baby yoga is playtime in action!
