We run drop-in sessions on demand on Thursdays from 1-2pm at Yoga Stable, 3A Montgomery Street Lane, EH7 5JT. Cost is £7 per session. Please book first as spaces are limited to 9 per session and the sessions only go ahead when more than 4 people book in advance. Previous baby massage experience is an advantage but not essential... just come and join in the fun!
And, we can come to you:
If you and a group of friends are interested in learning baby massage then why not set up a home course? We can come to you at a time that suits you and teach you the course in the comfort of your own home. Cost is £60 per 1-hour session in the Edinburgh area.
What is it?
Learn how to give a rewarding and fun massage to your baby with songs, storytelling and rhymes. The massage routine involves techniques from Swedish and Ayurvedic Massage, Reflexology and Yoga to massage your baby's legs, tummy, chest, arms, face and back. Our course is accredited by the International Association of Infant Massage.
What age are these courses for?
Baby Massage routine is tailored for 0 to 1 year olds. For older children find out about our 'Inspire Kids with Massage' Course
What are the benefits?
Baby Massage can help stimulate sensory development and improve sleep patterns in your baby, help to relieve gas and colic, plus give you new ways to interact and bond with your baby.
What is the structure of the course?
Run in 6 x 1-hour weekly or fortnightly sessions, the courses are relaxed, informal and a great way to meet other parents and carers, and to give your baby an opportunity to interact with other children. There are a maximum of 8-10 parents and babies on each course. Or you can book a series of individual sessions.
Why is our course longer than most baby massage courses?
We run our course over 6 weeks, rather than in 5 or 4 weeks, as we believe that this is a more relaxed time frame for the parents and babies to get used to, and grow to love, the massage strokes and routines. It also means we can focus on demonstrating in each session how to adapt the baby massage routines to fun rhymes and songs, which the babies love! We spend time demonstrating how you can adapt the routines as your baby grows and include time for an informal chat about some aspect of baby development and parent-baby interaction in each session - not forgetting the tea and biscuits!
