YogaBellies for Mummy & Toddler takes off where YogaBellies for Mum & Baby finishes up and incorporates a hatha yoga class for mums and their mobile babies (from 18-36 months.) All levels of yoga practitioners are welcome along with their little people.
PS: Did you know Fearne Cotton is a fan of our Mum and Toddler classes?
who are these classes for?
Our YogaBellies for Mum & Toddler classes allow mum to enjoy her own yoga practice around her active toddler. While mum is practising her sun salutes, baby may be playing with the other children or exploring the treasure chest… and when the baby starts to become restless, we jump over to our Little Angels yoga for mobile babies. Both mum and baby can enjoy all of the benefits of yoga in a welcoming, fun and safe environment.
A typical session includes hatha yoga for mum and toddler stretches to take their growing bodies through a full range of movement which often involves breathing and focused yoga postures for the mums, and postures-for-two to give mums and mobile babies new ways to relax and play together.
