Today, my husband Anth and our daughter Izzy attended a Daddy and baby yoga class. As Anth works through the week he only gets to spend quality time with Izzy during the weekend. I think it's so important for him to have one-to-one time with Izzy and what better way to do this than in a baby yoga class.
Who's ready for baby yoga? "I am!"
The class is run by a lovely lady called Stacey who is the owner of Much Loving Touch. She specialises in baby massage and yoga.

Yoga has so many benefits for babies,
- Increase bond between parent and baby
- Increase social interaction between parent and baby and also baby to baby
- Joint relaxation helps parent & baby to communicate non-verbally
- Increase and improve sleep patterns
- Help to relieve the symptoms of colic and constipation
- Help to strengthen babies and parents muscles
- Stimulate the nervous system through touch, movement and rhyme
Daddy and baby classes are also a great way for Dads to meet other Daddies in the local area.
Izzy and I have completed baby massage and yoga courses with Stacey. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and met some lovely Mummies who have now become great friends.
I highly recommend baby massage and yoga classes,
It's a lovely way to spend one-to-one time with your baby. The classes are structured and fun with lots of songs and rhymes. Each class starts with a warm up section that includes a 'hello' song, then the main stretches and finally a lovely relaxation section with soothing music.
Anth and Izzy loved taking part in the class and will be practicing their yoga moves at home :)
