Mums + Bubs Cancelled

Maternity Resource Centre, Te Kuiti, 20 Carroll St
Ainslie Speedy

Description

Join Ainslie to find your breath & gently re-strengthen your body whilst having your little one close by.

For mum, our series has been designed to support you in your postnatal months by helping your body regain strength and tone in a safe and effective way. Yoga relaxes the nervous system and brings balance to the endocrine system (hormones). We provide a safe, gentle place with other mums to honour your emotions and the beautiful (but sometimes challenging!) journey of motherhood.

There will be a focus on:

Re-strengthening and balancing the deep core and hips
Strengthen back and shoulders to help to help relieve tension in shoulders and chest
Postures and breathing techniques to manage stress
Rejuvenating postures for when you haven’t slept
Connect with other mums and make new friends
Mamas must be 6 weeks postpartum and have been cleared to exercise by doctor or midwife.

What do the babies do?

The classes include some activities to bond with your baby – you will be offered the choice to involve your baby in the yoga postures or have him or her near to you. Ainslie will help calm babies during Savasana with gentle sounds and singing bowls – giving you all the rest and relaxation you need.

Bubs can be babies, crawlers & toddlers (we have loads of space and toys available).

Please bring your little one’s favourite blanket or pillow to lay on. We kindly ask you to bring a mat or blanket and wipes to change your baby.

Since these classes are baby centred you are welcome to attend to your baby’s needs either by feeding, changing, holding or generally reassuring them in your presence at anytime. With the support of others, you will be able to develop a balance between doing yoga for yourself and meeting the needs of your baby.

Our sessions will be start and end with tea/coffee and chats with our lovely yogis.
