Whether you're new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, these sessions are suitable for all levels.

👶 Bonding with Baby: Incorporate gentle baby yoga into the sessions to support your baby's development, including balance, coordination, and motor skills. Learn baby massage techniques to address digestive issues, improve sleep, and deepen your connection with your little one. You are encouraged to tend to your baby's needs throughout the class, including feeding, changing, and cuddling. For older babies, gentle baby yoga is included, but there’s no pressure for babies to participate – they may enjoy watching you while they explore the room.
💬 Community & Connection: We will have time to chat, stretch, and strengthen together as a community of parents. Whilst the class aims to support postnatal recovery, if you are a parent who hasn't given birth, you are still more than welcome to join, yoga is beneficial for all!
To ensure your safety, please consult your GP and inform your teacher of any complications that occurred during your pregnancy or birth. If you have concerns about your suitability for the class, feel free to reach out to us at info@croydonyogahub.co.uk.
