I've just had my baby - when can I start the yoga class?
This yoga is designed just for postnatal mums and their babies. I suggest starting when your baby is about six to eight weeks old, but wait till you both feel ready.

How old can my baby be?
I teach babies until they are confidently crawling. Once babies can move around the floor on their own, their needs change. They'll be happier with a more active session, encouraging them to move out to explore their world.

What do I need for the class?
A blanket or pillow for your baby to lie on, and you'll both need to wear comfortable clothes that you can move around in easily. There's space for prams if you're walking and car parking locally if you're driving.

What if my baby cries? Or needs changing? Or feeding during the class?
The class is really informal. If babies are generally asleep we'll do something just for mum, and we can have yoga playtime when they're awake. It doesn't matter if they cry, you're free to comfort, feed and change them whenever you need to. And a snooze is fine - for you or for baby!

I had a caesarean - can I still come to the class?
It's a gentle practice, but as I would advise after any operation, it's best to talk over your plans to come to yoga with your GP or health visitor to check when is the best time for you to start.

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, Smiles awake you when you rise; Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, and I will sing you a lullaby
