How is a yoga class with baby?

A yoga class can be integrated very early after the birth, only a few days. Post-natal yoga can thus precede perineal rehabilitation sessions.

Concretely, the sessions are focused on the mother's needs and the postures proposed allow her to maintain contact with baby.

Each movement allows you to approach different essential points when you have been pregnant:

• Breathing exercises, especially to help the uterus rise,
• The abdominal muscles, in a very gentle way, the exercises preserve the perineum while stimulating the abdominal belt, strongly impacted by pregnancy,
• To soften the legs, the back, the nape of the neck,
• Muscles, thanks to stretching,
• Relaxation to feel soothed and relaxed.

Thanks to post-natal yoga, we regain possession of our body, we resource ourselves and we find a certain harmony. Once the basics of yoga are acquired, one can easily practice yoga at home. Applying your yoga teacher's teaching to your daily life becomes obvious.

Post-natal yoga also takes into account baby's needs, especially through massage. The practice of yoga reinforces the mother-child complicity and soothes baby. Relaxation, improved digestion... The benefits are both psychic and physical.

The yoga sessions will evolve with baby. Once the mother has recovered physically and baby has grown a little, the exercises become more tonic for the mother and turn into a play session for the little yogi. Plane, swing, slide...

The postures help to work on the muscular strengthening of the abs, legs or back while mommy is carrying baby. Once you're older you can also enroll him in children's yoga!
