MINI & ME YOGA CLASSES
Thursday and Fridays 10:45 - 11:45am
Suitable for babies from birth until actively mobile. Includes a 45 minute yoga class,
a coconut water, H20, or tea and a chance to connect with other parents!
Our beautiful Mini & Me Postnatal Yoga (Mums/Dads & Bubs Yoga) classes, at Holland Park on Brisbane's Southside, are a joyous combination of bonding with your baby, moving your body after birth and keeping yourself and your beautiful bub calm, happy and healthy. It's also a lovely way to connect with other mums, dads and carers, get out of the house and enjoy your postnatal period!
FAQ's
What do classes involve? Classes involve a mix of you doing yoga while bub is on a blanket or mat, yoga while you hold your bub (if they're awake), some baby yoga (massage and movement guided) and an opportunity to chat and connect with other parents at the end of class
What if my baby is unsettled? You're surrounded by other parents so we promise you're in a safe place! We encourage, and will support you to cuddle, feed (breast or bottle), console and change your bub if they need it, the teacher may offer to hold your baby (if you and bub are comfortable with that) so you can get some hands free time in, there's an outdoor space or reception where you can step out for a moment to help bub settle, and if you bring a carrier we can help you to get some movement in hands free!
At what age can we start? You can join us anytime after you have had your postpartum check up. From there, it's up to you when you think you are ready to leave your house, start moving and start socialising - for some of us this is almost straight away, for some of us it might take a month or two.
What age can we come until? This is really up to parental discretion. Our suggestion is that this class is appropriate until babies are actively crawling. In other words; up until they are moving too much to keep contained! When babies move beyond crawling, some are happy to sit with their parent for long periods of time, and others not so much. When you start to notice bub is beginning to explore the studio space, is making it too far from you, may be disturbing the experience of other mums and younger bubs, or you are just up off your mat chasing them too often, it's probably time to find another activity you can both enjoy, that is a little more geared more towards your toddling bub.
