benefits of baby yoga
Many women, after recovering from childbirth and adapting with the baby, still don't feel comfortable starting a gym, for example. The desire to stay close to the baby and follow its every step made many women find in baby yoga a way to be together with the baby and also to strengthen the body. Learn about some of the benefits of baby yoga practice:
- Assists in postpartum recovery;
- Reduces tensions;
- Provides pain relief;
- Helps calm and provides well-being;
- Improves sleep;
- Creates a bond between mother and baby;
For those who think that this is another fashion that España brings to the population, you are wrong. In India, people have long practiced shantala (baby massage) and yoga itself, which is already performed between mother and baby.
When to practice?
There is no right time to start baby yoga practice. The right time is when the mother and baby feel good. Baby should have fun and relax during lessons. If he starts to cry, the mother sits down, feeds and plays with him.
Most experts recommend baby yoga for babies over three months, as they are already a little firmer and stronger in terms of health. For those who have never practiced yoga, it is not mandatory to have practiced yoga to do baby yoga with your baby.
Two classes per week lasting from 30 minutes to an hour are recommended. During classes, it is important that both of you feel comfortable. The mother also needs to observe that the baby is not getting stressed with classes and also look for a professional who is certified and reliable.
