I first became interested in Baby Yoga with the birth of my first son in 2005
while living in England. I was looking to meet other mothers with babies of
similar ages; though I was looking for more than just chatting over coffee
and biscuits as my child lay next to me or sat in a stroller. I happened
upon Yoga classes for babies and thought "yes this is what I am looking for"
as it would be an interesting way to meet people while bonding with my
new baby. It was the best thing I ever did!
While practicing Yoga with my baby I found that he became more advanced in
rolling over, grabbing objects, eye contact, and crawling as well as learning how
to be relaxed. I felt that Baby Yoga strengthened his mind, body, and spirit
as well as gave me the time to be with my baby with no other distractions of everyday life.
Later, I gave birth to my second son who had colic. While practicing Yoga with him I found that his colic was quickly relieved by performing certain yoga moves. As a result he overcame his colic and at the same time he was a happier baby spiritually and physically.
I then realized that I wanted to spread the joy of Baby Yoga to other parents. I spent 6 months training with Birthlight in London, England founded by Franciouse Barbira Freedman, and became a fully qualified instructor of Baby Yoga for babies from the ages of 0 - Walking.
Come and experience with me the joy and enlightenment of Baby Yoga with your baby!
