At Yogababy, we honour the fourth trimester as a sacred transition — a time of deep physical recovery, emotional recalibration, and bonding with your newborn. Your body has carried and birthed your baby with incredible strength. Now it needs softness, care, and simple practices that help you feel supported from the inside out.

Your birth is one special day — but your postpartum lasts for months and beyond.
Join a Yogababy Pregnancy Yoga course to prepare for both — your birth and the beautiful community that can carry you through the weeks after.

The Yogababy program is a special sequence of movements for your baby that assists in their postural development from lying to walking. We recognise that your baby needs to strengthen its muscular abilities and nervous system.

Relaxing into a more open and connected way of being is our challenge in a world wanting outcomes and demanding schedules. Read more https://bit.ly/2V1BJe9

I have put together a few easy yoga tips for Mums to practice from the comfort of their own homes and start to enjoy the benefits. I have also included a tip to soothe babies as well.

A child's sense of connection and safety is easily broken. With infants and young children, a parent turning away to wash his hands or do the dishes is sometimes enough to break a child's sense that all is well.

A child becomes afraid when circumstances beyond her control, or circumstances she doesn't understand, rock her fragile sense of safety. The process of development, birth, and growth in the first vulnerable years presents many moments when a child's sense of safety is challenged.

Since the ground-breaking studies in attachment by Dr. John Bowlby in the 1950’s, there has been increasing recognition that babies need frequent physical closeness, prompt responsiveness, and continuity of carers.
