Mitchy Titch Baby Yoga Mondays 1:45 pm - West Derby, Liverpool
Babies 6/8 weeks to crawling are taught at a steady pace, giving parents time to digest the moves to use at home. Our classes help you connect with your baby and also include gentle postnatal stretches for you.
Sessions begin with a gentle, clothed massage for baby which is especially good for babys that have had a traumatic birth or mothers that have undergone a C-section or have postnatal depression. With positive touch your baby develops both physically and emotionally and enjoys a full range of movements with confidence. This is a great way to enjoy quality bonding with your baby.
Gentle exercise is encouraged for the parent/carer and classes are kept fun and stimulating with lots of interaction, song, sensory, massage, reflexology and yoga inspired stretches with a variety of props. Our unique Mitchy Titch techniques have been designed for the grown-ups to benefit too with our adapted yoga stretches, breathing and relaxation exercises which include partner and joint exercises which help to encourage peer bonding, so that you and your baby can make lots of life-long friends.
Our sessions end with a beautiful relaxation for you and your little one, most of our babies are ready for a good sleep by now!!
