COCOON AND BLOOM

Cocoon & Bloom Little Blooms Baby Yoga

In your loving arms, your baby will experience swings, dips and holds, enjoy active play and tummy time and relax with you. The use of song in baby yoga promotes your baby's language development and rhythm. Certain moves and holds can also help relieve digestive pains or the discomfort of colic and wind.

These classes are the perfect follow-on from our Baby Massage classes, however you do not have to have attended a Baby Massage class to join in with Baby Yoga - all are very welcome! Baby Yoga classes are suitable for babies from 3 months old (when neck strength has developed), and can continue until baby is very mobile (usually around 8 months, but every baby is different and some may wish to come for longer!)

​Life for parents and baby can be busy; time spent in car seats, pushchairs and highchairs can be balanced with the active movement and beneficial stretching of Baby Yoga, helping to stimulate your baby's nervous system and strengthen their muscular system. This development helps with your baby's balance and body awareness which are vital as your baby moves on to more complex movements, gross motor skills and co-ordination. In one session of baby yoga, your baby could experience a level of beneficial stimulation equal to a whole day's worth.

​The benefits for mum and baby are in equal measure as whilst baby develops their sensory integration and range of movement, you will have a chance to promote your post-birth restoration with gentle yoga poses. These poses will help you to stretch out any postural issues you may be experiencing from perhaps feeding baby or carrying baby, whilst also bringing you relaxation in a calm and non-competitive environment.

​It is important to note that repetition and anticipation is important for babies and, as with traditional yoga poses, baby yoga is focused on the practice of poses as baby develops.

​A welcome pack is provided on your first week. During the final week we also make special memories with a footprint/handprint memento card.

​Parents and babies love these classes, and many sign up for the course again and again. For those wishing to come for a subsequent term, there will be a discount on your booking.

​These classes take place in the beautiful Flowstone Wellbeing Studio, located within The Climbing Experience in Maidstone. There is plenty of parking and space for buggies. ​There is also a cafe on site, which is a great place to have a coffee and a chat with other mums and dads on the courses before or after class. With your permission, I can invite you to a WhatsApp group for your class. We are always stronger together.
