Babies in Bloom – Wokingham and surrounding areas is a children's club and school that specialises in baby massage, baby yoga, and toddler yoga. Located in Finchampstead, Wokingham, they offer a range of classes and courses designed to promote bonding between parent and child, improve sleep quality, and provide relaxation for both baby and parent.
The club is run by a qualified and experienced yoga instructor who is passionate about promoting the benefits of baby massage and yoga. With small class sizes, parents can expect a relaxing environment where they can learn and practise various massage strokes and yoga poses with their little ones.
One of the key focuses of Babies in Bloom is to enhance the bond between parent and child. Through touch and close contact, parents can develop a loving, caring, and respectful relationship with their baby. Actions such as holding, kissing, hugging, and touching all contribute to a sense of secure attachment, which is crucial for a child's development.
In addition to strengthening the parent-child bond, baby massage and yoga also offer numerous physical and emotional benefits. These practises can help to relax both baby and parent, relieve tiredness, ease the pain of teething, strengthen and tone muscles, relieve mucus and sinus congestion, support baby weight gain and growth development, and alleviate common issues such as colic, reflux, and constipation.
It is important to note that prior to starting a baby massage course, it is advised that babies undergo their 6-8 week check to ensure they are ready for the practise.
Babies in Bloom offers a variety of courses to cater to different schedules and preferences. Their baby massage courses run on Mondays and Wednesdays at the FBC Centre in Finchampstead. The classes are held in a relaxing environment and include an array of massage strokes, history, and benefits. Mats and organic grapeseed oil are provided, and parents receive their own baby massage booklet to support their practise at home.
For those interested in baby yoga, Babies in Bloom offers courses on Mondays and Wednesdays. These classes combine yoga for both parent and baby, using sensory resources and relaxation techniques. There is also a new class on Fridays called Music and Movement Yoga for babies aged 6 to 18 months who can sit unaided.
All face-to-face classes at Babies in Bloom run in accordance with Government COVID-19 Health and Safety guidelines. In the event that face-to-face classes are not permitted due to additional nationwide or localised measures, all classes will move to 'Live Online' sessions via Zoom conferencing.
