Baby yoga! What is it?

Well, it's yoga for your little one - movements and swings that help support their development.

It's yoga for you - postnatal-friendly, movements that reduce aches and pains post pregnancy and build core strength.

It's connection with other new parents who will also be sleep deprived and going through the same stuff you are.

It's fun! We're not too serious in this class - we laugh and talk. Babies giggle and that makes us smile more ☺️.

It's relaxing - sometimes. And these moments of calm and breathing help us relax.

It's suitable for babies from their 6-8 week check (or 10 weeks post c section) until they are pre-walking.

We'd absolutely love to have you in a class.

Classes are available in Stockton Heath, Culcheth, Tyldesley and Worsley.

This is a tough time of year - the transition back to normality: work, school, daycare and the demands of everyday life that have been put on hold for the last couple of weeks. Many parents will lose their sh*t this week. It's understandable. Here's why you shouldn't heap blame on yourself when you can't keep everything in anymore (and what to do when it happens).

In the 1970s and 1980s, American Psychologist Ed Tronick was focused on working with young children and their parents, looking into the effects of something called Attunement (the ability of parents to anticipate, notice and respond to their children’s needs), and how this two-way communication (the infant’s communications of their needs and the parent’s perception of them and their reactions) affected the child’s emotional state. Tronick hypothesised that the more attuned a parent-child dyad was, the better the child’s emotional development would be. This positive emotional development doesn’t only happen if a parent is always calm though, children are incredibly resilient, providing a good level of attunement with their caregiver is present.

What does this mean practically? It means that it’s OK to make mistakes as a parent, so long as we understand how our children feel and help them to feel better if (or should I say ‘when’) we upset them. This is often referred to as the Rupture-Repair cycle. When we inevitably lose our temper and yell at our children, we cause a rupture in our relationship with them, but our attunement with them allows us to see the hurt we have caused and leads us to repair the rupture, through holding space and containing the emotions and behaviour that results in our children, and through gentle words and touch. I prefer to call this effect The Holler and Heal Cycle, because, even when I do holler and yell, I am reminded that we can still heal. I can make things right; all is not lost. Healing is always possible. Children are more resilient than we think, especially if we apologise and reconnect, or heal, after losing control. Research published in 2020, has shown that parents only need to provide a consistent secure base (or meet their children’s need for attachment) for their children fifty percent of the time, in order to raise securely attached, emotionally happy children.

They gathered around her in gossipy, hushed tones at the baby group. She apologetically explained that she was 'still' feeding her One-year-old every two hours throughout the night.

"No. Just No. Sorry but there's no way he needs that!" piped up the apparent leader of the pack, a smile plastered across her face. A smile that said I am winning, because she is struggling.

The others nodded in agreement.

"I know. I know!" she conceded, with an embarrassed half-laugh.

I sat watching from across the room, my face aching from years of no sleep, wanting to say something. But I didn't. And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I didn't offer up a reassuring "me too".

I'm sorry that I was still too dog-tired and unsure of myself to interject.

I'm sorry that I assumed her some sort of expert about these things because she had three children, and I was seemingly failing with my one.

I'm sorry that you were made to feel like you needed to do something about it. A plan of attack.

I'm sorry that so many fail to acknowledge the underrated beauty of surrender. Of waiting this stuff out. Because nothing lasts forever. Don't let them have you thinking otherwise.

I'm sorry that "success" in motherhood appears to be measured by lack of parental input overnight.

I'm sorry that you were made to feel less than, instead of celebrated for getting up and out the door after another hellish night.

I hope that you are getting more sleep these days. But on your terms, not theirs.

Not the books. Not the apps. Not the milestone cards. Not the opinions of others who by some stroke of luck have never known the all-consuming relentlessness of having a consistently wakeful child.

I'm taking a little break 🙂

This was my in-laws' garden last night. It's so lovely I had to share. And from tomorrow I'll be camping, enjoying the great outdoors and taking a break from social media and work.

Bookings can still be made through the website during this time and I will get back to you early next week if you message.

Sometimes we all need a little down time (especially after the last year) and I look forward to coming back fully recharged.

See you soon,

EXCITING BUSINESS UPDATE!

Hi, I'm Kate, I've been teaching with Warrington Baby Massage And Yoga for the last year - I'll have met lots of you already - and I have recently taken over the business from the lovely Abi.

Here's a little bit about me...

I have 3 children aged 11, 8 and 5 - who are my yoga/massage guinea pigs (I do also have 3 guinea pigs).

I've taught baby massage and baby yoga for around 4 years and have my own business Peace At Last Baby Yoga and Massage. I'm also qualified in antenatal/postnatal yoga, hatha and vinyasa flow, kids yoga and breastfeeding peer support so I bring allll this knowledge to my sessions. I'm also a Zumba instructor.

I love, love, love leading these sessions - they're not too serious and involve lots of opportunity to chat, connect with each other and play with your little ones.

The new term at Stockton Heath starts this week and you can book via the website https://www.warringtonbabymassageandyoga.com/classes

I can't wait to meet/see you in class :)
