What is Baby Yoga?
Baby yoga uses gentle stretches and movements for you to do with your baby. It incorporates over-clothes massage, breathing techniques, stretching and movements for your baby, songs, rhymes and actions, and sensory play.
Many of the movements have been around for centuries and have their roots in traditional Indian culture and can often be seen in traditional infant massage text.
Being able to deliver these fun, interesting and sensory-based sessions is a great asset for participants from a range of backgrounds.
What's the aim of this baby yoga instructor course?
To provide practitioners with the knowledge and teaching ability to safely and effectively deliver baby yoga sessions and courses in a variety of settings to various individuals and groups.
What age of babies is baby yoga suitable for?
Baby yoga can be used from around 8 weeks (we strongly recommend they have had the 6–8 week check with the GP or Health Visitor) and on into the Early Years. Most parents attend classes with their babies from around 8 weeks up until the babies are walking away (around 12 months). Although the techniques can be used with older babies and toddlers (up to 18 months), the above is usually typical of a baby yoga class or session.
Is this adult yoga training?
No — this is a baby yoga course and teaches instructors to teach parents to do stretches with their babies. It is based on yoga principles but is not an adult yoga qualification. You will not be qualified to teach adult or child yoga moves or classes. Our instructors are all infant massage and baby yoga instructors with strong and expert backgrounds in health, education and early years — not adult yoga instructors.
