These inspiring programs were originally created for mothers suffering with Pre and post natal depression. The body can have a powerful effect on mental well being and therefore moving your body and getting some exercise is a great way to make you feel good!
PARENT AND BABY SPA
The world’s first Aqua Parent & Baby Spa Concept. A relaxing program where both parent & child bond together combining PABA FIT Yoga movements and Aquababies swimming techniques. On top of that, children can enjoy the sensory experience with jets of bubbles, colourful lights, music and lots cuddles from their parents. This is an ideal franchise product where Aquababies can provide you your own spa pool and an extensive training program to enable you to run a unique rewarding business.
What are the real benefits of this program?
- a relaxing exercise for both parent and child
Parents may choose to hire the pool purely for fun and bonding whilst relaxing and enjoying the sensory experience. The bubbles and jets fountain help to stimulate touch, colourful lights which helps stimulate sight and bubbles and music to stimulate our hearing.
- Its suitable for different age groups
There are two levels based on the age of the child. The first is for parents with babies up to 12 months; the second for toddlers from 12 months upwards. This two age groups ensures that the children are engaging in age and ability appropriate activities and that the workout program is adjusted accordingly.
- Private Time Together
This program is also ideal for couples to enjoy quality time with their baby together in a private environment. The Spa area is private with fresh clean water each session. You can either have a teacher give you instruction on the combined techniques of swimming whilst enjoying the different sensations of the bubbles, lights and music. Or you can just hire the area for both parents to have fun and relax with their child.
What are the benefits For Babies?
Water is a great equalizer for babies and they can achieve some level of independence before they can crawl. The water provides support and they love the fun and freedom of the whole experience. More importantly, the classes will:
- Provide water safety training
- Build water confidence
- Teach basic breathing exercises
- Provide some of the basic foundations of swimming
- Encourage physical, social and psychological development
- Enhance their awareness
- Improve eating and sleeping patterns
- Promote co-ordination.
All this provides the foundation for an active and fit childhood, which is wholly beneficial.
What are the benefits for Parents?
- Physical
PABA Yoga is an excellent method of exercise which improves the fitness of the heart and lungs, tones the body and reduces fat. It is an ideal form of postpartum exercise as it is kinder to joints as the water supports some of the extra pregnancy weight. Body weight issues are important to postnatal women and exercising in a private spa helps to reduce self-consciousness.
- Physiological/Bonding
This program also offers a outlet for parents to spend time together with young children, commonly cited as a valuable experience for new parents. The multi-sensory environment of the pool opens up whole new experiences for children. The classes are a good opportunity for parent/child bonding as they involve plenty of physical and eye contact and they also enjoy the an unique form of interaction.
