Mum & Baby Yoga this Friday

Hello everyone,

Writing this from my desk - yes I'm back at work (part time) - but it's not too bad and am looking forward to a sunny day in the park tomorrow! I'm also looking forward to Friday afternoon as we have a mum and baby yoga session with local yoga teacher Madelaine Heinemann. She will be instructing an hour long class that you can complete in it's entirety or dip in and out of at your leisure.
 

The class is a fun way to bond with your baby. There are gentle postnatal recovery postures for mum, which restore the uterus, abdomen and pelvic floor muscles, help regain your posture, prevent stress incontinence and womb prolapse and relieve shoulder, neck and back discomfort which are all common postnatally. The class also includes yoga movements for the little ones which are incorporated into songs and nursery rhythms. The session is a great way to reclaim your body after giving birth.

Madelaine teaches classes locally and her details are below.

To counteract the health benefits we will have cake and tea/coffee (we now have cafetiere coffee, for all you caffieneaholics!)!

Hopefully see you on Friday - don't forget to follow us on our blog and on Facebook for the latest updates.

meanwhile, enjoy the sunshine,

Ping Pong!

Hello!

We hope you have all enjoyed these past two weeks and have perhaps even ventured out into the long-overdue sunshine once or twice? Well, it's time to 'ping' back inside again to Mum's the Word tomorrow because we're getting out the table tennis tables and we're up for a game!

Of course there'll be the usual tea and cake (in fact the chocolate cake's in the oven now and it smells delicious, if I may say so myself!) and what better way to work off the confectionary calories than brandishing a bat and playing Ping Pong?!

See you tomorrow
