Millie and Monty Mum & Baby Yoga
What is Baby Yoga used for?

During the early years, a child learns with their bodies before they learn with their minds so physical activity aids the development of both brain and body. Millie & Monty Baby Yoga uses stretches and relaxing movements alongside fun rhymes and songs to aid in overall development, helps support posture, improve balance, promotes better motor development and can lead to enhanced future learning.

Millie & Monty Baby Yoga will also help to tone post pregnancy pelvic and back muscles by learning simple postures and stretches that can be easily used at home with baby. It also encourages eye contact between mum and baby which can promote enhanced bonding, ‘special time’ and nurturing touch with baby.
