Can I bring a friend?
Of course! If you enjoy our classes, please spread the word and bring your friends along. For doing so, you will receive a $10 voucher per person you refer to use towards a membership or 5, 10 or 20 class pass.
What does it mean by a "baby- led class"?
The birthlight Mother & Baby Yoga and Mums & Bubs Pilates classes are baby- led. This means, how much activity you are able to participate in is led by your baby.
If your baby needs changing, feeding, settling, putting to sleep etc, it is your responsibility to attend to his/ her needs. You're welcome to do all of this within the room and we encourage you to join back in when you can. Like us, babies have good days and bad days. Some days you will be able to participate in an entire class, other days you may spend a lot of time settling your baby. These moments in class teach us to be flexible not just in body, but also in mind.
What if my baby is sleeping?
If this happens in a Mums & Bubs Pilates class, great! If it happens in a birthlight class, we have dolls who you may practise on and then when your baby wakes up or when you get home, you can practise the new moves with him/ her. Or alternatively, ask your teacher to suggest some exercises for you or take advantage of the quiet time and get some well- earned rest!
Can I still attend classes when my baby starts to crawl?
Once your baby starts to crawl, then we recommend graduating to the birthlight Baby Yoga class for Crawlers and Early Walkers on Tuesdays at 3.30pm. This class is only offered during the school- term.
