It is unlike their past home of the fluid-full womb. Being born can cause some level of stress to a newborn. That is just the beginning of a lifetime of change and stressors. Baby-Yoga with Helen offers a baby the ability to learn and experience deep relaxation as a state different than waking or sleeping. Everything about Baby-Yoga with Helen is safe, gentle and very effective when done at home or in a group setting.
Babies get to feel their bodies as they are gently maneuvered to aid digestion and development.
The parent is responsible for carrying out all of the baby's movements until they are walking. Parents also like the opportunity to practice the yoga poses, while letting their child explore yoga on their own two feet. After one to six classes, crawling and walking babies learn various yoga postures so well that they will move into different poses by just asking them. One of Helen's longtime students, Lily, a joyful 22 month old redhead, moves gracefully through many yoga poses such as mountain, tree, downward dog, cobra, upward facing bow pose, and extended child. It is beautiful to watch.
