Practicing yoga with your baby isn’t just an adorable good time—as the two of you bond, you’re toning your entire body as she develops motor skills. While you challenge your core, thighs, arms and shoulders during this gentle yoga practice, your baby benefits, too.
Stand holding your baby at chest
level. With your feet hip-width
apart, pull your abs in tightly.
Bend your knees into a squat,
sitting back on your heels.
Straighten your legs and gently
lift her into the air as you sing
out her name, squeezing your
chest, shoulders and upper
back [shown]. Slowly lower
your baby back to the starting
position. Repeat 3 to 10 times.
MOM BENEFITS Strengthens
core, legs, buttocks,
hips, shoulders and arms.
