Baby Yoga and Developmental Massage

We welcome your yogis to our baby yoga and developmental massage classes from 6 weeks of age after an initial health check from their doctor.

This is where the yoga journey begins for tiniest yogis. 

 A holistic approach to health can have huge benefits for you and your family helping to promote well-being through the treatment of the body, mind and spirit.

As teachers we have seen the many positive effects massage and yoga can have on children of all ages that’s why we believe an introduction to your child from an early age is pivotal in their own health and well-being.

Kalma Baby Yoga: From 6 weeks to 6 months (sitting unaided)

After a health check is completed our baby yoga classes can be started.  We offer a relaxed but fun environment where classes are delivered using yoga inspired stretches. Classes are structured to offer 45 minutes of yoga as well as some lovely relaxation at the end-which is always well earned!  In a typical session baby and parents will be introduced to music, song and rhyme along with lots of sensory props.  There are stretches for mum during sessions, and together stretches but primarily we focus on the infants.

Classes are taught in block sessions.

Once sitting unaided is established a progressive move can come into this class where the pace is faster and little ones are introduced to more yoga inspired stretches that are age appropriate. The same structure surrounds these classes as the younger class previous, but at a more advanced level for little ones. The focus is on balance, coordination and reaching milestones.

Classes are taught in block sessions.
