These volunteer classes are offered in the community, at the Centretown Community Health Centre, in collaboration with the Early Years program, for families of moderate to low income.
Offering similar Baby & Me class structure as in a yoga studio, for parents, and babies to join together for gentle, stretches, and exercises coupled with bonding activities. The main difference is there is no cost, and the community centre setting which offers extra Early Years, community, and family programming services on site.
For mom we work on some pelvic floor, and core engagement which help restore the area, using breath, and mobility exercises, as well as just getting moving. Some exercises, and stretches for the upper body that help with day to day strains as well, and relaxation to help with the days that follow.
For baby we do some massage, and interactive play, as well as have fun with movement that helps both baby and parent get into the activities together.
Both parents/partners are welcome to join as these exercises are inclusive for anyone who wants to improve their mobility, and engage with baby, enhancing the bond and their development.
