Baby yoga

Join Drummoyne Community Centre for a weekly course as they take you through a series of simple yet effective stretches and poses, suitable for all levels of physical fitness that will benefit both you and your baby.

Baby yoga is an interactive class between your baby and you. Learn the different movements that strengthen your baby’s spine, develop supple joints and a tonic for all the body’s systems. It is a fantastic way to support your baby’s development by improving muscle strength and tone, coordination, and balance. It is similar to infant massage in strengthening bonds between parent and baby and promotes many well-used techniques for calming, soothing and reassuring your baby.

Benefits for the baby
Baby yoga class involves lots of movement and singing which help infants develop language and enhance auditory discrimination. The infant’s brain is stimulated by movement and sounds especially the higher-pitched tones of their mums when they are singing to their infant. Baby yoga sessions can give the baby as much physical activity as they would receive if they were handled and carried all day. This activity alone will help the baby sleep more deeply.

Benefits for mums 
Help mums regain and retain healthy posture after birth, releases muscle stiffness and tension, strengthens the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. Get to know your new baby and bond while nurturing yourself.
