BABY SENSE MASSAGE AND YOGA

Duration: 5 weeks (45 min classes)

Time: 09:45 & 11:00

Cost: £45

A quiet, relaxing and baby-led 5 week course of baby massage in a small group setting with a qualified instructor. Each week you will learn to massage a different part of baby, starting with the legs and moving on to the tummy, chest/arms/hands, head/face and back. The first session will start with about 20 minutes of massage, to make sure we do not overstimulate and to get baby used to it. This will increase each week as we add to the routine and cover different parts of the body. By the end of the 5 week course you will have a full routine, with strokes for all parts of the body. A complimentary small bottle of massage oil* will be provided, as well as a handout showing all the new strokes covered each week to help you practise at home. (*please do feel free to bring your own massage oil, I recommend a patch test for any new products used on you and baby).

Your touch and voice are like magic to your baby so I encourage you to use both during these sessions - there may be some singing (this will not be mandatory but I’d rather not show off how tone deaf I am alone!).

The benefits of Baby Massage are numerous, but this class will provide you with: the time and opportunity to bond with each other, helping to improve sleep, gaining confidence in handling your baby, aiding relaxation, connecting with other new parents/carers, helping to relieve some of the effects of wind, colic, teething and constipation, whilst practising nurturing touch.
