What are the benefits of baby yoga?
Songs and rhymes
Promote a developing baby's communication skills by combining more singing and rhyming with movement and touch. The individuality of each baby is reflected.
Improving body functions
Yoga has a positive effect on the body. Yoga strengthens the muscles and tones the body of the baby and parent. Yoga improves circulation and the elimination of waste through exercise. This also promotes hormonal balance and stimulates cell growth. Yoga has a positive influence on the development of the nervous system. Senses are stimulated. We stimulate the transition from reflex to targeted movements with baby yoga.
Stimulate balance and coordination
Yoga stimulates the vestibular system. Movements such as rolling and rocking support a baby's development of balance and coordination.
Parent support with an increasing need for carrying capacity
Because parents experience an increase in weigth and mobility of their baby, parents also learn muscle strengthening exercises to lift and carry their baby. This is important in the prevention and relief of neck, shoulder and back problems.
Relaxation
Moving and enjoying relaxation together has advantages for parent and child. Loving and respectfully touching your baby reduces stress and helps your baby to release built-up tension. This promotes a baby's sleep. Parents also enjoy this wonderful moment of peace.
Attachment and basic trust
The bond between parent and child continues to grow. Positive experiences strengthen this bond. Mutual trust grows. Basic trust just makes it easier for children to discover the world around them. Parents with an eventful birth story or postpartum depression can continue to recover.
