Can you imagine how adorable baby’s little chubby limbs would be in a yoga pose? I can! Parent/baby yoga classes have been popping up at yoga studios all over – many of them as a logical compliment to an existing prenatal yoga class.
Many benefits of prenatal yoga (including muscle tone, staying limber, strength, balance and circulation) also translate very well to a parent/baby class. Often these are aimed at parents with babies from 4 weeks to crawling, baby having constant contact with mom or dad with lots of time for interaction and affection! Not only is it a very special time for parent and baby to bond, it’s also a great way to help mom get back into pre-pregnancy shape. Although these classes are fabulous for your physical well-being, they are also a great place to meet other new parents and/or moms-to-be.
Most classes are perfectly appropriate for beginnners and as always, be sure to follow your doctor’s recommendations regarding physical activity when pregnant. Click here and here for additional great info about benefits of prenatal yoga!
