Massage is an age-old tradition that has been passed down since the age of time. We do it daily without realising though winding, tickling, cuddling, feeding, skin on skin time etc. It is an amazing skill for childcare professionals to learn as it is a wonderful, nurturing experience to share, whilst having lots of health benefits for the baby.
Baby yoga perfectly complements baby massage by expanding the benefits of touch with movement and relaxation.
You will understand the benefits of Baby massage and how it is helpful in relieving wind, gas, colic, teething, sleeplessness, crying and fractiousness. It helps babies develop motor skills, muscular control and stimulates their minds through a gentle, rhythmic stroking of your baby’s body with your hands.
The soothing strokes of your hands stimulate the production of oxytocin, the feel-good hormone.
You will learn how to soothe a baby by using rhythm and breathing techniques. The course will also include gentle stretches for areas of the body that may have become tight during pregnancy or during feeding a baby. During this Baby Massage course, you will learn a full massage routine, along with baby yoga sequences in a relaxed, friendly environment. You will cover the following topics;
Introduction and Leg & Feet Routine & Opening the hips
Abdominal and Colic/Gas Massage Routine
Chest and Arm routine – Open the front of the body Yoga routine
Head, Face and Back Massage Routine, Teething relief sequence & strengthening spine & back muscles.

Baby Massage is a great course and Natalie is an amazing trainer. She is so approachable and warm. I left the room with the knowledge I was looking for and lots of ideas to use with my 4 month old charge. Thanks very much! A course I will recommend to everyone who wants to enjoy time with their babies and also help them with their development and well-being.
