Baby Yoga promotes tummy time and active play for babies in the form of swings and dips which help to develop baby's Proprioception and Vestibular systems (more on this later!). The use of songs during classes help to develop baby's sense of rhythm and promotes language development and communication between mother and baby. In addition, the release of endorphins in both mother and baby's body can help to promote relaxation and wellbeing.
Baby Yoga shares some of its benefits with Baby Massage. The main difference between the two is that baby yoga stimulates baby's senses through a variety of different stimulus;
-movement
-touch
-songs
-stretching.
Baby Yoga stretches can relieve pain or discomfort from Wind, Constipation and Colic. The movements in Baby Yoga compliment the movements in Baby Massage. A combination of both can provide the infant's digestive tract with a high degree of support.
As with Baby Massage Baby Yoga can help settle babies and improve their sleep patterns. It can also strengthen the bond between the parent and baby by having that close physical contact with Baby๐
