Yoga moves (asanas) for
babies are performed in partnership with an adult, usually the mother. A
"Mommy and Me" Yoga class is a wonderful way for a baby and his or
her mother to get to know each other, strengthen their bond, and participate in
a gentle Yoga class that is beneficial for both of them. A close bond between
mother and child has been well documented to help a new baby feel loved, safe,
and nourished. Ultimately, a strong mother and child bond will help the newborn
to thrive with deep feelings of love and security. A practice of Yoga asanas
for mother and baby will nourish them both.
Yoga asanas, for babies,
are designed to support the growth and healthy development of the newborn, as
well as enrich the continuous bonding process between a mother and child. Yoga
postures will support the baby's social, cognitive, and physical development.
One of the main benefits of practicing Yoga asanas, with your baby, is that the
experience of a concentrated amount of gentle touch from you, during the Yoga
class, will help your baby to feel safe, secure, and deeply nourished. Baby
Yoga movements are often supplemented with naps and infant massage. Both asanas
and infant massages will help to develop a baby's social skills, somatic
awareness, and sensory perception.
