Damn mistral! On Monday April 22, he prevented the walk from taking place, a stroller hike, more precisely, planned in Talagard by the Salon Action Santé association and offered to young parents or future parents. It’s only a postponement (as of May 6).
To replace this outdoor activity, the parents – four mothers – were welcomed to the dojo of the MJC (House of Youth and Culture) in Canourgues where a yoga session followed by a time of discussion on topics of their choice was proposed to them by a dietitian from the association, Virginie Roman, as well as a midwife, Caroline. Meanwhile, their pretty babies lived their lives peacefully on the dojo mats.
The mothers learned yoga movements, a gentle activity to return to sport after baby (or during pregnancy from the second trimester). Then they spoke with health professionals. These ladies’ questions focused on sleep. Young mothers delighted to have participated in this activity, as Précilia, from Miramas, pointed out: “It allowed me to meet new mothers, I like this Salon concept.”
Same story from Audrey de Salon, who came with Robin, 18 months old: “Seeing other people, sharing with parents, it’s nice. Even more than yoga.” Priscillia, from Salon, is delighted to have practiced physical activity: “Doing sport when you’re with your baby isn’t easy. I already know yoga, it’s very good, it’s gentle”, explains the mother of Manoah, 7 months, who is also not unhappy to have been able to discuss breastfeeding.
“Physical activity followed by time for discussion”
Viriginie Roman is the dietician who hosts this meeting, with Caroline, a midwife, one Monday per month. But other activities are offered by Salon action santé, always on Mondays at 2 p.m.: “Either a psychologist and a midwife lead a discussion group on various subjects, or it is an educator and a breastfeeding nurse consultant who discuss, inform and support parents on breastfeeding, or it is Caroline and me who offer a physical activity followed by a time of discussion“, details Viriginie.
Five or six parents participate in each session. Mainly moms. But the association would happily welcome more participants. And dads are obviously welcome too. No membership or fees required. Next session, Monday May 6, at 2 p.m., it will be a stroller hike if the mistral calms down by then. Meet at the MJC dojo, at the Carrefour Market des Canourgues shopping center.
