Baby Yoga Playgroup
(Mum and Baby Yoga)
Alabang Studio
Yoga is applied to babies as an extension of baby massage, incorporating all the benefits of touch therapy, movement and rhythm as well as the stillness of deep relaxation. Classes cover techniques of breathing, relaxation and gentle yoga movements for mothers, fathers or caregivers, and their babies. All yoga sequences are age-appropriate for the baby and start with gentle strokes and opening stretches for small babies to more energetic and fun routines for older babies.
Baby Yoga is beneficial for the baby because it strengthens the physical body, improves digestion/ relieves colic, stimulates all senses, contributes to the development of the brain and nervous system, helps improve sleep patterns, enhances parent-child bond. Come in comfortable and stretchable clothing. Avoid wearing jewelry as this may get caught in clothing or hurt your baby. Bring along a baby blanket big enough that when folded over provides enough padding for your baby on the mat.
Babies often experience and increased appetite after the yoga class. Please bring along your baby's milk/snack. Baby Yoga Playgroup classes are a combination of techniques based on Birthlight Baby Yoga Program of Francoise B. Freedman founder of the Birthlight (UK), and Yoga for the Special Child, LLR by Sonia Sumar.
Sessions are an hour and 15 minutes long. Once a class is big enough, babies are grouped according to age: 0-4 months / 5-8 months / 9-12 months. Yoga experience is not required. Please fill up the following documents and bring them to class:
- Medical questionnaire
