CPD Online Training for
Baby Massage & Baby Yoga Instructors
Would you like to feel confident and qualified to support parents of babies with varying physical, medical and neurological needs through baby massage and/or yoga? Would you like to ensure your classes are truly inclusive and that parents feel safe and held in their journey of parenting a baby with additional needs with you through this ancient practice?
This specialist and certificated online CPD training will broaden the knowledge and practice of qualified Baby Massage and Baby Yoga teachers when supporting babies with varying physical, neurological, sensory and/or medical needs.
​
Research shows that parents with a baby with additional needs may be at higher risk of mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression, yet baby massage and baby yoga are powerful ways in which to support parental mental health, support parent-infant bonding whist also supporting infant mental health.

This training is for those Baby Massage and Baby Yoga teachers who feel called to do more for these families by providing baby classes and 1-1 sessions for babies with SEND, or needs that require more individualised support. This is for Baby Massage and Baby Yoga teachers who want to broaden their understanding and confidence in the practical skills to support these babies and their families whilst honouring the roots and the benefits of these ancient practices.
