Baby Yoga & Massage

Touch has been proven to be the most important factor in infant social and mental development. Babies perceive it as the most basic form of communication. It does not come as a surprise that touch becomes a child's first language. When in utero, there was constant touch and movement, so to help babies adapt to the world outside, we must create comfort and a sense of security.

With the skin being the largest organ of the body, applying touch greatly stimulates the production of oxytocin hormone that has a very calming and analgesic effect. Touch also helps developmental coordination and balance as well introducing skills for crawling and standing. Touch through massage and movement can have a positive effect on sleep patterns, reduction of stress and crying episodes. In short, both touch and interaction are absolutely vital for babies to encourage and support all stages of healthy early development.

In my courses I’m using an intelligent and grounded methodology from the appleyoga approach to Pre & Postnatal Yoga with Baby Yoga & Massage that empowers women throughout the pregnancy and after to go deep into their practice with lightness and grace. It is biomechanically knowledgeable, safe and grounded and features key actions for empowerment and freedom in the body.

Transformational yogic tools used together with a balanced understanding of the emotional and psychological journey into motherhood and child development as well as the relevant and precise anatomy and physiology are the keys to inspiring safe practice of Pregnancy Yoga and Baby Yoga & Massage.
