Blissful Babies Baby Massage & Yoga

Benefits of Melting Heart Pose / Puppy Pose / Anahata Asana 💚

💚Shoulders + upper back
It opens the front of your shoulders and chest where we hold all that “baby-carrying” tightness. Helps undo the hunched-over-feeding posture without forcing anything.

💚Spine + neck
Keeps hips above knees so your lower back stays safe. The long reach through your arms gives your whole spine a gentle traction. Forehead down takes pressure off your neck.

💚Heart + chest
“Anahata” means heart center. Physically it stretches the chest muscles and fascia. Emotionally a lot of people feel it releases grief, stress, or that heavy “I’m holding it all” feeling. That’s why it’s called Melting Heart.

💚Nervous system
Forehead or chin on the floor is a calming position. It signals your body you’re safe. Slower breathing here naturally drops you out of fight-or-flight. Feels like a reset.

💚Hips + thighs
Because hips stay stacked over knees, you get a subtle stretch through the hip flexors and thighs too. Good after sitting, feeding, or standing with baby on hip.

💚Best part for tired mums: You don’t have to “do” anything. You just melt and let gravity work. It’s rest + stretch at the same time.

🌼Hold them. Respond. Day + night.

It’s okay to hold your baby. It’s okay to respond to them at 2am, at 2pm, every time they call for you.

Holding with awareness isn’t spoiling them — it’s teaching them the world is safe. Every time you pick them up, every time you meet their cry, you’re building their trust and their calm nervous system.

Day and night, your arms are their safe place. You’re not “doing too much.” You’re doing exactly what they need.

We practice this mindful holding in all my online + in-person courses. Because you deserve support, and your baby deserves that connection.

You’re doing an amazing job, mama. 🫶

🌼When babies are overstimulated, their nervous system stays in high alert.
Slow, intentional touch tells their brain: You’re safe now.

That’s why massage often shifts fussiness into calm. It’s not magic — it’s physiology.

If you want to learn the full routine and feel confident doing it yourself, my online course Nurturing Touch walks you through it.
