POST-NATAL YOGA
"Mommy and Me" classes aim to gently nurture and slowly strengthen the body after childbirth. The primary focus is the reintegration of organs and muscles that have been stretched. These classes are performed with your child and aim to awaken muscles in your body and motor skills in your babies body as well as to provide a time and space to connect with your baby in a fun and interactive setting. Tessa requests that mommies wait atleast six weeks after giving birth to begin classes and that they specify the conditions of their birth (natural, cesarean, first child or other), and any other relevant details when contacting her for appointments.
Classes are taught in French or English and are not limited to the Brussels Region.
