Mother and baby yoga study
31 July 2023
Recently given birth? Join our mother and baby yoga study.
We are looking for new mothers to take part in our study examining the influence of a mother and baby yoga programme on maternal mental health and relationship with baby.
The project will provide essential data to help determine whether parent and baby yoga would be beneficial if offered as a regular service.
The eight week online course is designed to ease anxieties associated with emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic, enabling you to follow the course in your own time, within a safe environment.
The following study objectives will be addressed:
- Identify possible links between participation in a programme of mother and baby yoga and maternal subjective experience with mental health
- Verify whether mother and baby yoga can influence mothers feelings about the bond with their baby
- Request feedback from the participants to examine the feasibility of running a similar larger study
Who can join?
Women six to 12 weeks post-birth, aged 18 years and over can join.
