Baby Massage Classes
Massaging your baby is a wonderful way to connect with them. Learn how to do this in a safe and comfortable space.
Infant Massage Classes
Infant Massage is the very special art of using nurturing touch to communicate with your baby. To show them that they are loved, welcomed, and respected and that they can feel safe and secure in their new world. It is a wonderful way of bonding with your baby as it works on an emotional as well as a physical level. Developing closeness between parent and baby that has lifelong benefits.
Parents/Caregivers massage their own baby using a specifically designed series of strokes. This series combines Indian and Swedish massage along with Reflexology techniques and some gentle yoga-based exercises into a routine designed to be beneficial for infants.
Some of the benefits of baby massage * Promotes bonding for parent and baby * Increased respect, trust, and empathy * Enjoyable one to one time * Relief of wind, colic, constipation, teething, growing pain * Stimulation of systems – circulatory, immune, nervous * Muscular development and tone
All equipment will be provided for the class, including yoga mats, cushions, pillows, massage oil, handouts, tea/coffee, and treats.
