BBcise Mother and Baby Yoga
BBcise is a unique and fun exercise programme especially designed for Mother and Baby. BBcise classes provide a wonderful opportunity for a new Mother to ease her way back into exercise after the birth of her baby. Our classes use yoga based exercises and poses to help to increase fitness, strengthen and tone abdominal, back and pelvic floor muscles, regain good posture and help to re-energise and increase energy levels as well as gaining some vital relaxation techniques.
For baby, there is massage and fun yoga based exercises and games to play which encourage the baby’s reflexes to develop and in doing so will help with their gross and fine motor skill development. Baby is also gaining skills to encourage strength and development. The yoga also helps baby to relax and sleep better.
Music features throughout the classes and so is a good opportunity to re-learn all those nursery rhymes from childhood - and it makes it fun!
Mothers need to have had their six week postnatal check before attending.
What Mothers say about BBcise:"I thought Josie wouldn't be able to cope with the length of the session, but I felt really comfortable being able to attend to her needs during the session. My daughter doesn't like big groups, but the physical closeness, variety, relaxed atmosphere and eye contact seemed to work and she seemed really happy during those sessions. I had never done any yoga before, but the positions were simply explained and built upon each week." "The classes were extremely well structured for both mum and baby and an excellent way to meet other new mums too. The classes were also fun but you learnt a lot of things about the development of your baby." "The things I liked most about the Postnatal Yoga were the friendly & relaxing atmosphere, spending quality time interacting with our babies - they seemed to enjoy it a lot and were usually exhausted by the end! Also, I picked up some really useful massage and winding exercises that I've been using ever since." "I thoroughly enjoyed the class, as did the babies. It's amazing to have 10 babies in a room for a whole session and you hardly hear a peep out of them! The babies love the class, they are stimulated, yet calm, combined with some abdominal work for mum! Doesn't get much better than that!" "It is a great workout for both mum and baby - and the singing is added fun!" "The post natal yoga classes were mine and Ashton's first experience of a 'mother/baby class' so I was a little apprehensive. However, since joining we found the class really beneficial to us both. Ashton certainly loves being around other babies and for myself, great to meet other mums. Charlotte runs the class in a very relaxed way, very stimulating and fun, for the babies, including some great exercises and tips for us mums. I think the refreshments provided at the end of class are very well received." "A good way to ease slowly back into exercise after having a c-section & meet new friends in a relaxed & enjoyable environment, without having to worry about leaving my baby in a creche because he was doing yoga with me (or trying to disrupt the class anyway!!)." |
