Infant Massage: a full body sequence

For Parents and Babies (3 weeks to 1 year old)

Infant massage is one of the most rewarding and loving activities you can share with your baby. At Sri Janani Yoga, you learn a full-body massage sequence based on ancient, timeless Ayurveda massage techniques, accompanied by specific baby-movement exercises and playful songs that are fun for you and your baby. This wonderful combination helps to develop your infant’s brain and nervous system, improve visual acuity and stimulate the senses.     

You also learn techniques that, with regular massage, can…
• help your child sleep better
• soothe and calm baby during teething
• enhance baby’s digestion and elimination, and relieve symptoms of colic
• prepare your child for rolling, turning and crawling

• help avoid torticollis (when an infant’s head turns mostly to one side) and plagiocephaly (flathead)
• foster more nurturing tummy time between you and your baby

Please bring an extra blanket, or soft towel or two, for your baby to keep warm and comfortable during the massage. Since we’ll be working with oil for the massage (complementary), an everyday blanket is best, rather than your treasured heirloom.

Rate includes parent and baby; spouse/partner welcome at no extra charge. A handout of techniques is emailed for your home practice.

Tuesday January 20th, 11:30am-12:30pm

Parent Baby Yoga with Baby Gym

Parent Baby Yoga with Baby Gym

We weave in Baby Gym moves with exercises designed to help your baby’s growing mind and body during this incredibly influential time of brain development.

We rock and roll, move to the beat of lively music with exercises designed to help your baby’s growing mind and body during this incredibly influential time of brain development. Babies delight in loving skin-to-skin contact with mom and/or dad, being held and carried, and spending tummy time on your body, which helps to stimulate your infant’s nervous system and aid physical and cognitive development. Your baby gains more control and coordination while increasing strength, agility and flexibility for a beautiful foundation to grow on—and is likely to sleep more soundly, too!

Gentle yoga poses are taught to help you to strengthen, energize, and tone your whole body while deepening your sense of well being. We focus on specific areas such as neck and shoulders, abdominals, lower back, and pelvis. Come to any of our postnatal classes when you feel ready. Our classes are gentle, safe and individualized to meet your needs. (Newborns through to pre-toddlers all welcome!)

Moms and Dads, both, and any caregivers are welcome to this class.

The Labor Workshop

The Labor Workshop

Childbirth is a transcendent experience unlike any other. How can you prepare for something so spontaneous and vast as birth? 

You may wonder: What will labor be like? How will I cope with the pain? Will I be able to help her the way she needs me to?

It is normal to feel anxious about the unknown.  The intention of this workshop is to help ease any anxiety you may have about labor and delivery, and allow you to bring more relaxation and consciousness to each step of your journey through movement, breathing, massage and relaxation techniques, and specific labor positions.  You will also learn about the normal process of labor, how the environment can affect labor, along with information on the benefits and risks of our current birthing practices.

By the end of the workshop, you will feel inspired and confident to birth your baby!

A handout is given for continued home practice. Taught by Colette Crawford, RN,BSN

$125 per couple

Register here. Workshop is at SolarYou Yoga, 268 Central Ave, Kirkland, WA
