You will be amazed by the magic that takes place during this class and how much babies love it. They also clearly like to be together! You will learn to communicate with your baby through loving touch. The art of massage will help you to build your confidence and trust in handling your baby. You will enhance your baby's health and well being and be able to relieve common ailments such as colic and restlessness and encourage deeper sleep. Each massage session introduces and develops the changing techniques needed as your baby grows. These simple massage techniques can be readily learned by parents and everyone is welcome to attend. Baby massage classes are best attended from newborn until your baby is sitting independently. As the weeks progress, you will learn to massage in baby yoga positions that encourage flexible joints, prepare for the next developmental milestone and encourage optimal postural development. Many parents like to come to this ongoing class after completing the Postnatal Starter Course, but it is not necessary to have done so. You may wish to attend this class regularly and also bring your partner to a one off weekend workshop on Baby Massage led by Lynn Murphy, so that you both learn this invaluable parenting skill.

Once your baby is sitting, or approaching this stage, you can move on to the Baby & Me yoga class, where Lynn will lead you through more playful sessions of yoga moves and songs. These sessions are great for to move onto as both you and your baby become more adventurous and confident. There will be much more movement which babies love and interweaved into the class will be yoga for you. So you both will leave feeling stretched and more in touch with your bodies.
