Our massage groups are suitable for newborns (and older infants) as we use specific massage routines.

Baby massage is a wonderful way for you as a caregiver to learn all about your baby and the wonderful things they can already do! Baby massage helps equip you with the skills to help your child regulate themselves, help them soothe to sleep and can help you to ease their discomfort when they are teething, have colic or feel constipated.

The 5 week group focus’ on promoting a child’s global development. We use a range of activities to stimulate sensory, motor, cognitive and social emotional development. We introduce you and your baby to the eight body senses and strategies to develop a child’s sensory processing skills (this is key to developing longer term self regulation skills).

We work through a range of key positions for play which promote gross motor development, activities and games to develop visual perceptual, fine motor and cognitive development. All of our activities promote communication and social interaction

Our group is for infants and is not a ‘mother and baby yoga’ class where you will get a yoga workout. Baby yoga focus’ on relaxation for both you and your baby, promotes their milestone development, helps you learn their cues and can help improve sleep patterns and digestion. It is excellent group progression after massage for those babies who need more stimulation now they are older and have good head control.

Baby yoga is more strenuous for mothers who have delivered by caesarean section and it is not advised until at least 12 weeks post delivery and once you have been given the go ahead.
