Yogalayam: Postnatal (Parent-Baby) Yoga Class

Our Postnatal Yoga Class, held on Tuesdays from 10 am to 12 pm, welcomes parents (Moms, Dads, Couples, Parents, Grandparents - all forms of Family) and their infants - singles or twins - from ages 6-8 weeks to about 11 months. We provide a full range of yoga props and equipment for the adults. And for the babies, we have little beds, blankets, toys and musical instruments. Three expert caregivers rock, bounce and play with the babies and help them to fall asleep, both right inside the classroom and in adjoining nap and play rooms. Class opens with relaxation and breathing, followed by exercise with the babies in arms and a warm aromatherapy infant massage session, with singing in different languages. After a post-massage nursing break, the babies either rest, nap or play under caregiver supervision, while the parents move through a good body-mind yoga practice. Attention is given to individual needs, including the special issues of the postpartum period. We have a lot of fun, with support and love flowing in all directions.
