3m+
Baby yoga helps to attune to your baby’s needs and to calm or stimulate them as appropriate with a sense of security and wellbeing.
​
It is beneficial for all babies, you don’t need to practice yoga or even know anything about yoga to get started with your baby.
​
From Birth, babies respond positively to the stimulation of movement and touch together.
​
Baby Yoga includes a wide range of different practices that can be combined to suit the needs of each baby through their individual development, these are as follows:
• Gentle body strokes
• Yoga moves adapted to babies (mini twists, mini stretches, upper and lower body movements, diagonal movements) These moves have been transmitted though generations in India for at least 2000 years
• A blend of postnatal yoga and baby yoga for new mothers
• Playful moves with rhymes
• Joint parent/baby relaxation (walking relaxation, instant relaxation, relaxation to sleep, feeding relaxation)
• Transitional practices (head control, sitting, crawling, standing, early steps, first jumps and balances)
​
Baby yoga offers quality physical stimulation that has become essential in an urban sedentary lifestyle. For every hour that babies spend strapped in cars seats or home seats, 5 minutes of Baby Yoga provide stretching as a start to a healthy lifestyle.
