How old does my baby have to be to start exercising?
We recommend from about 16 weeks old. The sequences need to be appropriate for the age
of the baby. We start very gently with smaller babies and as they gain strength and head control,
we move to more energetic and fun routines.

Is there an upper age limit?
We recommend starting baby yoga before your baby starts crawling as once they are more mobile
it is very difficult to maintain their interest with the static exercises.

What if my baby doesn’t seem to enjoy it or cries?
Babies do cry and this is perfectly normal, so don’t worry. Everyone in the class has a baby too
so it is perfectly acceptable and everyone understands. Try to establish if there is a reason why
your baby is unhappy – are they tired, hungry, too cold/warm or unwell? It may take a while for
your baby to become familiar to the new surroundings, but try to relax as if you are tense your
baby will be too!

What if my baby wants feeding during the class?
Don’t worry, you are free to breastfeed or bottlefeed at any time during the class, particularly
during the relaxation session.

What if my baby is ill?

If you or your baby have any form of infectious disease (such as chicken pox)or Sickness and/or
diarrhoea then please do not bring them to class until it has completely cleared.

Please avoid bringing your baby to a class for 48 hours after having any immunisation.

If your baby is receiving any form of medical treatment then please seek the advice of your GP
or Health Visitor before attending a class.

If you or your baby is suffering from a common ailment such as a cold or sniffles, please feel free
to attend, but remember you or your baby may not feel up to it and may not enjoy the class as
much as usual.
