Baby Om Body
Just for Mom: A Personalized Yoga Remedy
Baby Om Body is perfect for those who find participating in regular yoga classes difficult, or who find their participation in life diminished due to chronic pain or injury. Sarah and Laura combine Iyengar yoga techniques with occupation therapy goals in order to maximize an individual's life participation through increased strength, flexibility and alignment.
Baby Om Body is a package of three classes.
- In the first session we evaluate the individual, set goals, and give a preliminary set of poses to address the problem area.
- In the second session we go through their individualized yoga program (which is created and printed out for them), teach proper body mechanics, and modify any poses that need tweaking. The first two sessions should be held within a week of each other to ensure good follow through and sequencing.
- The third session is scheduled approximately two weeks after the second one, so we can check on progress, and implement new yoga strategies if required.
Sarah and Laura will confer on each case, so each Baby Om Body series will get the benefit of both professionals. The personalized yoga sequence will be created for each student for home practice to maintain progress and meet functional goals. Our goal is to show the student a very personalized way to use yoga to participate fully in their lives.
This mini-series is perfect for the woman who has a physical issue preventing her from returning to her favorite yoga classes, exercise of choice or optimal life experience. Although Baby Om Body is designed with women in mind, we are happy to work with men as well.
The Baby Om Body package is $450, all-inclusive. Email us at info@babyom.com to schedule your session.
Two 'Baby Om Body' Case Studies
One woman came to us complaining of lower back pain; every time she tried to take a yoga class, the class moved too quickly and the instructor was not able to give specific modifications. Through our personalized session, we were able to strengthen her back and she was then able to rejoin her yoga class practice.
Another woman, with wrist pain, found it hard to make it through a regular yoga class without re-injury. She had recently had a baby and when we went to her home we were able to give her a yoga sequence she could successfully practice to maintain and build strength. We were also able to guide her in better ways to hold and care for her baby so the injury was not aggravated.
