Parents and Baby Yoga

Baby Yoga at our Adelaide Studio is a gentle yoga class designed for parents and their babies. The class combines postnatal yoga, mindful movement, breathing, relaxation and simple activities that encourage bonding between parent and baby.

At yogafusion, Baby Yoga provides a welcoming space where parents can move, connect and share the experience of early parenthood with their little ones.

yogafusion's Baby Yoga is generally suitable for babies from around 6 weeks old through to crawling age, although every baby develops differently. If you have any concerns about your baby’s readiness, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider.

We recommend bringing:

• A yoga mat
• A blanket or play mat for your baby
• Nappies and wipes
• A change of clothes
• Any feeding supplies you need
• Water bottle for yourself
  
  Most importantly, bring whatever helps you and your baby feel comfortable.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and is suitable for caring for your baby. Many parents choose breathable activewear or clothing that makes feeding and moving easy.

Many parents return to gentle movement after a caesarean birth once they have received clearance from their healthcare provider. Always listen to your body and let your teacher know about your birth experience so appropriate modifications can be offered.

The timing varies depending on your birth experience, recovery and individual circumstances. Many parents begin gentle postnatal yoga after receiving advice from their healthcare provider, often from around the six-week postnatal period.

Definitely. Flexibility is not required. These classes focus on gentle movement, recovery and wellbeing rather than advanced yoga poses.

Many parents find that gentle movement, breathing and relaxation techniques provide valuable moments of calm during the busy early months of parenting. Yoga can be a helpful way to prioritise your own wellbeing while spending time with your baby.
