Moreover, we carefully select and design activities that are suitable for each developmental stage, ensuring that every movement and exercise is safe and beneficial for your child.

We know the importance of maintaining a hygienic environment, especially for activities like Baby and Kids Yoga. That’s why our studio is regularly sanitised to maintain a high standard of cleanliness. All equipment and surfaces are disinfected before and after each class to ensure a germ-free environment.

Generally, Baby and Kids Yoga classes are designed with safety as a top priority. We have certified instructors leading our classes, and they have extensive experience and training in working with infants and young children. They ensure that all activities are age-appropriate and tailored to the developmental stages of the babies in the class. The movements and exercises are gentle and non-strenuous, focusing on enhancing your child’s natural development without causing any strain.
How many babies are there in each class?
Our Baby Yoga classes are intentionally kept small to ensure personalised attention and a focused environment. Typically, each class consists of a small group of babies, allowing the instructor to provide individualised guidance and support. This intimate setting fosters a closer connection between the instructor, parents, and babies, enhancing the overall experience.
Can Baby Yoga help with sleep issues?
While this may be on a case-to-case basis, typically, Baby Yoga can help with promoting better quality sleep. The gentle movements and stretches practised in Baby Yoga classes help to relax your baby’s body and mind, promoting a sense of calmness that can lead to better sleep. Breathing exercises included in the sessions also aid in soothing your baby, reducing restlessness and making it easier for them to fall asleep.
Will Baby Yoga help with colic or gas?
Baby Yoga could help with colic and gas issues in babies. The gentle stretching and movements performed during yoga sessions can aid with digestion and discomfort associated with gas. Specific poses and exercises are designed to stimulate the baby’s digestive system, promoting the release of trapped gas and addressing colic symptoms.
Physical activity in yoga also encourages regular bowel movements, which can help with constipation and associated discomfort.
