Baby Yoga Offers

Baby Yoga leads on perfectly from Baby Massage, and as with Baby Massage, Baby Yoga promotes a life-long bond between you and your baby, and creates a foundation for a happy, healthy life.

In one short daily 45-minute session, Lullaby Lucy Baby Yoga can ensure that the baby receives as much physical activity as if they were handled for a few hours.

The style of yoga that Lullaby Lucy teaches is based on Hatha yoga. The classes teach you to help your baby into carefully developed movements that are beneficial to both growth and development.

However, Lullaby Lucy Baby Yoga goes far beyond physical exercise by actively engaging a baby’s brain and stimulating the vestibular system. Located in the inner ear, the vestibular system primes the entire nervous system to function effectively. When we make certain movements such as rolling, swinging or tumbling, the fluid in the inner ear passes over the nerve receptors, which send messages to the brain about the position of the body in space. These messages help babies learn to counter gravity and to have control over eye movements, which are vital for the co-ordination of all the sensory messages the brain receives. Lullaby Lucy Baby Yoga classes deliberately stimulate the vestibular system and so actively develop a baby’s co-ordination and sensory-motor skills.

Most babies will reach their developmental milestones in the end. Baby Yoga provides the building blocks to support the baby’s development and enables them to reach these milestones competently and confidently. Baby yoga doesn’t rush your baby to crawl or walk, your baby will learn how to do each stage properly and learn all the detail before moving on. For example, a baby that tries to walk before they can crawl proficiently may suffer in the future with diagonal co-ordination as this learning point was missed.

Other examples are tip toe walkers, Baby yoga uses positions and poses that focus and prepare your baby for applying their weight and pressure to the heels of their feet. Making your baby more aware of their body, develops their confidence and spatial awareness as well as stimulating quality muscle development and muscle tone.

Lullaby Lucy Baby Yoga incorporates moves that stimulate the Moro reflex and allows the baby to experience new feelings and emotions. Like with anything, at first this can be daunting but after each of these moves you will give your baby lots of encouragement and big smiles to reassure them that they are ok. This builds trust between you and Baby and encourages the baby to be brave and help them realise that new experiences can be exciting.
