Important Practical Details

Location:

The courses are held at the Kindermusik studio at Leimgrubenweg 9, 4053 Basel. See the map below for details.

This is a great space for the course as it has lots of space for the physical activities, such as breathing exercises, massage and different positions for labour. Please be aware however that you will need to sit on gym balls or mats or cushions on the floor (but we will keep moving regularly, so you won't seize up on the floor, I promise).

Insurance:

Some insurance companies will refund the cost of the structured group courses, however as I am not a Swiss midwife, not all will. Please be assured though that I am a trained childbirth educator and prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher.

Responsibility and liability:

Please understand and accept that these courses do not provide medical information or care, and you remain responsible for your own healthcare and well being and for the decisions you make as you become parents. I can accept no responsibility for any outcomes from the course or during your birth or parenting experiences. Any medical questions or concerns you have should be addressed to your doctor.

Group sizes:

The structured group courses are limited to seven couples, and places are allocated on a first come first serve basis for those couples confirming their attendance. If fewer than three couples enroll in a specific course the course format and hours may be amended to reflect the small group. The RSB group is limited to 14 women and RSBwB limited to 10 mothers and babies.

Mama and Baby Yoga

This five week postnatal and baby yoga course helps you reconnect with yourself, with your body and your breath. As your new role in your family evolves this postnatal yoga series gives you the opportunity to develop physically and mentally, finding strength, flexibility, relief and rest in your body, your breath and your mind.

At the same time our baby yoga asanas help your baby deepen their understanding of what and where their body is, how they can currently move and what potential their bodies hold and ways they are separate from you and ways they are connected to you. Asanas are adapted to suit babies across the age range, developing confidence, range, shape and movement as each baby grows and changes

Practicing yoga together with your baby can bring happiness, peacefulness, connection and understanding between the two of you.

We use both baby and postnatal asanas and movements, breathing and singing activities, stretches and rest and integration time to have a feel good time each week, taking care of ourselves, of our family and our community and world as we adapt to life with this baby.

Mignon Mama and Baby Yoga, for pre mobile babies (from around six weeks to starting to crawl). This is a five week course, with each class building on the previous class so regular attendance makes a real difference.

If you have a baby that is already mobile (crawling or walking) and you would like to join a Mama and Baby Yoga series with them please get in touch with me.

New sessions coming in the new year, please get in touch for details about dates

This course costs 100CHF for five session block or 25 CHF per session.

The course is held at the Kindermusik studio, 2nd floor, Leimgrubenweg 9C, 4053. All materials and snacks are provided.
