Trust me I understand my baby cried constantly through every class we went too! Even if you end up watching the class while settling baby it will be beneficial as you can practice at home later and I will support you with this. If you both fancy just taking the opportunity to sleep on the mat, that’s ok too! Suitable from 6 weeks postpartum. You are still welcome to come at 6 weeks if you had a c-section or instrumental birth I just need to know so I can modify some of the postures. There may be things you can’t do yet but I can replace them with other beneficial things! If you are a parent who hasn’t given birth you are still more than welcome to join. There are so many benefits for baby and yoga is beneficial for everyone. All you need to bring is a blanket for baby!
