At what age can baby first be massaged or do baby yoga?

Mar 25









If you're teaching a baby massage or baby yoga class, or you're a parent looking to take your baby to their first class, it's important to know when it's appropriate to start. 
Generally it is fine for all babies to be massaged from birth but they often cope better in a class situation from around 5-6 weeks.

However, any baby taking part in a baby yoga class must have had their 6-8 weeks check, even if that has been delayed for any reason. It is important, therefore, for parents to have signed any declaration to this end, so that instructors are covered for insurance purposes.

If you'd like to lead your own baby massage or baby yoga classes, check out our instructor courses. We have both courses available as an online distance learning option, and we also offer our baby massage instructor course via Zoom and face-to-face. Find our baby massage instructor course options here and our baby yoga teacher course options here.
