Living the 8 Limbs of Yoga with Baby

Living the 8 Limbs of Yoga with Baby: A Parent’s Guide to Ethics, Daily Habits, Mindfulness, Meditation and Peace. This book is focused on infant development and raising peaceful children. There are activity pages and journal pages for new parents, all organized by the 8 limbs of yoga. Kids Yoga Teacher Training programs can add it to the resources for those yoga teachers planning to teach Mommy and Me Yoga.

Why do we care about the development of a newborn baby when we are practicing or teaching yoga?

This stage of life brings dramatic change to families, and the science of human development can inform and guide a yoga practice. There is so much research available in the area of child development; it makes perfect sense to bring this research to the fore when we teach our children yoga.

Living the 8 Limbs of Yoga

Yoga is an eight limb system and the connection between these limbs and psychological development begins early in life. For parents who are practicing with their child, or yoga teachers interested in tackling this stage of family life in group classes, knowledge of child development can make the practice safer and more age appropriate. Having a baby can bring your family deeper into yoga at a time you thought it may be impossible to practice.
