Celebrating Ten Years of Mum and Baby Classes

Ten years ago I trained to teach mum and baby yoga with the wonderful Marion O’Connor at Birthlight, it was the birth of Breathing Space Yoga.

On 7th May 2013 I taught my first Mum and Baby Yoga class with these gorgeous mums and babies at Weaverham Children’s Centre. It was the start of my yoga teaching career and what a lovely way to start!

In this blog post I revisit the last ten years of Mum and Baby Yoga and Massage classes with photos from each year – can you spot yourself and your baby?

How to choose oil for Baby Massage

Skin is the primary conduit to touch which is critical for comfort, development, good health and well-being for baby and parent. Massage nurtures touch, and the process for attachment of baby and bonding for the parent. Skin, as well as a sensory organ, acts as a temperature regulator, hydration manager, waste eliminator and protective barrier – baby’s first line of defence.

This is why it’s really important to ensure that you choose the most appropriate oil for you and your baby. In this article I offer some information and research to help you decide on the oil you’d like to use, and you can also decide not to use any oil at all.
