Advanced Workshop Baby Massage

Prerequisite: Introduction Workshop Baby Massage.

This two-hour Advanced Workshop Baby Massage will enhance the skills you have acquired during your Introduction Workshop Baby Massage as well as add more variations and options to your SHANTALA Massage routine.
We strongly recommend taking one or two Advanced Workshops after your initial Introduction Workshop.
For this workshop, baby‘s age might range from about eight weeks to 8 months.

Workshop outline:

• Developmentally beneficial baby yoga-exercises for (and with) your baby.
• Refresh and add on to your SHANTALA Baby Massage technique.
• Massage techniques that can help with teething.
• You will learn some massage techniques for baby‘s face.
• We will practice some more with the base-affirmative holding technique.
• You will learn about which essential oils are safe to use on babies.
• The babies will have a relaxing TummyTub®, bath after the massage.

What to bring:

• Your baby, not necessarily dressed, p.j.'s are fine.
• One fluffy towel or soft blancket.
• Couple of face cloths.
• Something warm to wrap around your baby.
• Baby towel.
• Clothes for your baby, for after massage and bath.
• Be prepared to feed your baby during and/or after massage/bath (bring your own bottle warmer if you need one!).
• Something to let your baby sleep in or on after bath/massage.
• Perhaps a toy (without sound!) just in case your little one wants to play.
• For yourself comfortable clothes (we sit on the floor). If you want to massage your baby on your bare legs, be prepared for that. Do not dress too warm, the room we massage in, is warm because of the (naked) baby's.
• Your camera!

Cost?

Prices may vary per location and/or instructor, but we recommend a maximum price of $50 for this workshop, when done in a private or semi-private setting. Included are your choice of baby massage oil to take home and a comprehensive handout.
