When I was pregnant I saw video lesson on baby yoga and I decided that when my baby is born I will practice baby yoga. It was amazing how easy and fun exercises can make you happy mom and your newborn happy baby.

I practices baby yoga in addition to infant massage. Baby yoga is physical stimulation for your little baby which includes holding, movement, touch, voice and deep relaxation. Baby yoga is also a happy and care-free parent-infant interaction which develops as the baby grows.

Touch is probably the richest stimulation we can offer babies from birth. In yoga, the stimulation occurs through the mutual involvement of mother and newborn, at a volume at which the baby can absorb and integrate it. As yoga postures induce deep relaxation in adults, so in babies they bring a state of deep contentment and promote deep sleep.

Yoga helps babies to avoid stress and help them to relax. Our handling of babies is a loving one, in which the conversion of a challenging movement into a safe game, to play and enjoy, is repeated again and again. Baby yoga is a game for your baby and at the same time it is a perfect stimulation that is the best possible way to help your baby to grow happy and successful person.
Below you can found some benefits of baby yoga.
