Investigating the influence of an early postnatal mother and baby yoga programme on maternal mental health and relationship with baby: a randomised feasibility study.

It is thought postnatal mother and baby yoga decreases levels of depression and anxiety and increases subjective experience of maternal-infant bonding. This project will provide the necessary data to determine whether a regular programme would be beneficial to mothers.

The research study is an eight-week online programme incorporating gentle postnatal mother and baby yoga involving women 6-12 weeks following birth (at recruitment/study commencement). The outcome measures include mothers' feelings about their mental health and bond with their baby.
