Golden Plains Shire Council invites parents, caregivers and bubs to join in the free Move Your Way – Baby Steps Program (the Program) from Monday 4 March to Friday 12 April 2024.
The program aims to overcome obstacles to physical activity by providing baby-friendly activities throughout the Shire over a 6-week period for parents and caregivers, providing opportunity for movement and social connection.
Weekly activities, including Yoga, mat Pilates and baby sensory sessions, led by local facilitators, will take place in Bannockburn, Meredith, Lethbridge and Smythesdale.
Golden Plains Shire Council Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham encouraged parents, caregivers, and bubs to come along to the sessions.
Move Your Way – Baby Steps is a fantastic initiative that aims to improve mental and physical wellbeing for parents and caregivers and provides an opportunity for social connection by reducing obstacles to local physical activity opportunities”, Cr Cunningham said.
Childcare limitations and lack of time can make it difficult for parents and caregivers to find time to exercise, so a key focus of this program is bub friendly activities with local facilitators who have a passion for helping people move better and feel stronger.
Registration is essential. To register for the activities, visit goldenplains.vic.gov.au/events
The first 30 participants to register and attend a class will receive a free yoga mat.
