Baby Yoga: Rolio!

This is such a fun yoga pose for babies! It almost always gets me a big grin and giggles.

To get your baby in position, you sort of "hog-tie" them, by taking your first finger and thumb and clasping their feet. Then use the other three fingers to grab their hands. Then bring their hands and their feet to the center of their bodies. If you can't get their hands and feet to touch in the middle, that's OK. And if they aren't in the mood to have their hands grasped, you can just do their feet.




















Then you roll them to one said and say Rrrrooolll.




















And then bring them to the center and say LLLiiiii.

And then bring them to the other side and side and say Oooooooo!

Go back and forth saying, Rol. li. O!!!! When they are a bit older, or just get used to the pose, you can go back and forth more seamlessly and pick up the pace! If you are doing this on a tiny baby, you need to go pretty slowly or they can get overstimulated.

If anyone ever has any questions about a pose, you can ask me in the comments section or shoot me an email. I am always happy to help!

Just FYI, most of the baby yoga poses I post, I learned at my Itsy Bitsy Yoga training. The founder and creator, Helen Garabedian, has a great book and dvds that you can purchase to help your home practice. Or you can go to her website and try and find a class near you!
