What is the class like?
Diksha's classes are taught over 4 weeks, to give both the parent and baby time to learn and become comfortable with the massage. Each week parents learn strokes for a new part of the body while reviewing strokes from previous classes. So new strokes are learned, and previous information is reinforced. Diksha will teach a little at a time to ensure that you are confident with every aspect and your baby doesn’t get overstimulated. Each class will be 1-1.5 hours!
The strokes and styles of baby massage are easier to grasp when demonstrated by an experienced instructor. Pressure, rate, rhythm, the length of the massage, respect, bonding, why baby cries, baby’s body language, positioning of the baby, relaxation and parent empowerment are some of the skills and topics that will be discussed.
Classes are held in small groups with 7 to 10 families, to ensure personalized attention. The classes are baby led. In Diksha's (Deek-sha) classes, it’s okay for babies to cry!
Supportive group sessions where parents can share experiences and learn from each other while having fun.
Recommended age for group classes is from birth to sitting.
The Fee for this class is $100. A $10 early registration discount will apply when registration is mailed 3 weeks prior to the beginning of the class, or if you have been Diksha's birth client.
