Integrating Babies into Postnatal Classes
Maximise fun, bonding & keep babies happy for longer in your classes :)
Perhaps you currently teach postnatal classes and the babies stay on the side of the action.
Or maybe you already integrate babies into the class but would like new ideas for songs, games and mini moves. If you’d like to be able to respond to what’s happening in the class and be able to keep the babies entertained so the mums have longer to enjoy their yoga or pilates, this workshop is for you.
Also get ideas about how to include everyone, even while they’re feeding their baby, and how to keep your postnatal clients return for block after block of classes.
Next training date: Tuesday 22nd April 18.30-9pm online

“I have been teaching postnatal yoga for mums and babies for over ten years now. Doing Tessa’s workshop was really great as it gave me some new inspiration and fresh ideas to bring to my classes. And lots of new songs and movements for babies to integrate into my teaching.
Tessa is fantastic and makes the workshop lots of fun. Highly recommended to both new and more experienced teachers looking for some new ideas.”
“This is brilliant! Love all your ideas. You’ve made it seem so natural and free flowing from one thing to the next. Shame my daughter is fast asleep, she would love it too!”
