Yoga Mama & Baby
Yoga Mama & Baby is a loving course for new mothers who want to gently strengthen their bodies after giving birth while spending valuable time with their babies.
This special hour is not about perfection, but about well-being, connection, and conscious movement. We integrate the babies where appropriate—in gentle stretches, small flows, or simply in shared closeness on the mat. Breastfeeding, feeding, or diaper changing are possible at any time—everything is allowed, nothing is required.
The course combines mindful yoga with targeted strengthening exercises that specifically strengthen the back, shoulders, abdomen, and pelvic floor. Mobilization relieves tension, while conscious breathing promotes relaxation and inner peace.
Yoga Mama & Baby gives you moments in which you connect with your body, strengthen yourself, and at the same time feel your baby's energy. It is a space full of understanding, openness, and lightness—where you can move, breathe, laugh, and simply be.
The course is suitable for mothers who have completed postnatal recovery exercises – babies aged around 2 months to crawling age are welcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Yoga Mum & Baby?
Yoga Mum & Baby is a yoga class for the time after giving birth, to which you can bring your baby. With gentle postures, conscious breathing and moments of relaxation, you get moving again, release tension in your neck, shoulders and back, and recharge your energy for everyday life with a baby – with or without your baby by your side.
How soon after giving birth can I join?
To take part, you need to have completed a postnatal recovery course – whether with us or elsewhere. Haven't done one yet? Then it's best to start with our Postnatal Pilates course block. If you still have any complaints after the birth, please check with your doctor or midwife beforehand.
Do I have to bring my baby?
No, your baby is welcome to come along but doesn't have to. You're just as welcome on your own. Since there are babies in every class, though, things can sometimes get a little livelier and louder – that's simply part of this class.
How old can my baby be?
There's no minimum age. Your baby can come along until they start walking – after that, it becomes too restless in the class room for everyone.
What if my baby cries or is hungry?
There are no fixed breaks – you decide for yourself, as needed, when to breastfeed, feed, change or soothe your baby, and then simply rejoin. Nobody expects a perfect class; all the mums in the class know what it's like.
Do I need any yoga experience?
No. The class is just as suitable for beginners as for mothers who already practised yoga before or during their pregnancy. It's led by specially trained teachers who show you suitable variations for every posture.
What's the difference from Pilates Mum & Baby?
Your baby is welcome in both classes. Yoga Mum & Baby is more oriented towards flexibility, breathing and relaxation; Pilates Mum & Baby focuses on strengthening your core and building stable posture. Many mums combine both.
What should I bring – for me and my baby?
For you: a towel – it's mandatory for hygiene reasons; if you forget yours, you can rent one at the studio for €2 –, comfortable clothing, something to drink (no glass bottles) and ideally non-slip socks (Pilates or grip socks). For your baby: ideally your own blanket to lie on – if necessary, you can also use one of our yoga blankets –, nappies (we don't have any on site) and anything else your baby needs to feel comfortable. We provide mats, bolsters, blocks and blankets for you at the studio.
