Mama and Baby Yoga is back!

Three stand alone sessions, on Tuesday 22 September, 13 and 20 October, 13.30-14.30 (plus a bit of cake eating/sociable time afterwards) in Dreispitz. Regular weekly classes will resume in November.

Each session is a mixture of baby yoga, postnatal yoga and relaxation time. We embrace a gentle and sociable practice which nurtures and nourishes our bodies, minds, emotions and family and social connections, accepting ourselves and our babies where we are that particular moment and finding different ways to feel good and to share those feelings.

Some sessions you might do loads of yoga asanas and stretches, and another session it might be all about cuddling your baby and feeding them and perhaps you both having a little snooze, and anywhere and everywhere in between. These sessions meet you and your baby where you are each day.

These sessions are for all mamas, and babies from around six weeks old up to those who are not yet (very) mobile (so those who are wiggling and rolling around yes, those who are crawling fast or toddling, not these sessions). If you are interested in some sessions with crawling or toddling babies please just let me know.

I really hope you will come and join us. Spaces are limited so please reserve your place here:

Connected and Contented Babies Balls and Bubbles session was so lovely. With some really young babies and some bigger and energetic babies we had quite and gentle moments and lots of movements for the vestibular system. We bounced, rolled, stretched, sang, laughed and breathed, not to mention toon blowing bubbles and having a back massage. Here is one of the songs and the signs that go with it.

A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

Prénatal Relax, Stretch, Breathe this Thursday we are learning more about the Golden Hour, the precious, well protected first hour after birth.

Your baby is born with many reflexes and instincts that they use during this first hour to adapt to life on the outside, to start a happy breastfeeding journey, to facilitate your recovery (yes, really, it’s a real partnership), to develop their biome and connect with their people.

Come and learn more about it, and to have some time for breathing and relaxation techniques, gentle prenatal yoga, cake and chat.

Thursdays 18.15-19.45 at the Kindermusik studio in Dreispitz. More details and to book your place please see https://www.mignonbaby.com/prenatal -yoga
