Happy Holidays Mammas. Hope you’re having a lovely break with your families. Chloe Redmond and I have even more Baby Massage and Yoga classes for you from Thursday 4 Jan. We have expanded to 7 classes per week. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. You get a discount with a class pass and there is a cancellation facility if you change your mind. It’s very flexible and you can pay as you go when it’s convenient for you. Here are some recent quotes. "This is the highlight of my week" "This is my favourite baby activity" "Thank you for creating such a warm, welcoming place for me to come to" (from a dad!) "My baby loves the class and sleeps and poos really well afterwards" Baby Massage and Baby Yoga is a wonderful way to bond with your baby plus give physical and emotional benefits for both of you. Babies are calmer and sleep better and are generally more supple and stronger after these classes. They increase their co-ordination abilities and their nervous system is developed. We also teach a colic or digestive routine that is ideal to help babies with digestive problems. You can start from about 2 weeks old. Many babies come until they are about 8-10 months old but why don’t you try a class or two and see how you like it. The benefits for mums are the increased confidence in handling their babies plus more awareness of how to soothe an upset baby. You also get to do some gentle post natal yoga-type stretches plus make friends with the other mums. We have a social time after class and eat snacks provided by myself and Chloe. I can’t resist posting this Christmas picture we took after class one day. http://thehealthworks.co.uk/online-booking/

***BIRTH PREPARATION WORKSHOP FOR COUPLES*** This informative and fun workshop will give you the tools you need to prepare for your special birthing day.

New mum? Haven't had your linear alba checked in your stomach to see if you've split (Diastasis Recti)? Probably the most underrated area of importance in post natal care and if gone undetected, can lead to permanent domeing (where your internal organs bulge through your skin un protected) leading to an unsupported core. I have successfully corrected mums with DR and would never demand exercises that could cause further splitting. Book in for your post natal Pilates induction at the Healthworks for more info. www.DanceChloe.com ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #ChloeRedmond #abs #diastasisrecti #strength #Exercise #diastasisrectirepair #postnatal #now #newmum #TBT #thehealthworks #experience #Healthy #Lifestyle #Fitness #love #Instamood #preandpostnatalexercise #pilates #motivation #walthamstow #wakeuphappy #like4like #follow4follow #morningworkout #fitnessinstructor #inspiration #groupexercise #onetoonefitness #eastlondon
