Baby Yoga!

беби-йога, платона и лена
Whoa…this is CRAZY!!
Russia has been doing “baby yoga” for years, and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.
Lena Fokina, the woman featured in the video, talked a little about why Americans should try it:

“Americans should be able to do a lot of this themselves, in order to pass something on to their children. An immobile American loses their naturally given reflexes (swimming, reaching, stepping—they have machines that do this for them). That’s why, in parallel with their children, the parents learn to do these things: dive, swim, run, jump, bend and much more. Our workshop is called “family active lifestyle.””

We definitely want to hear some scientific research backing baby yoga before we recommend anyone trying it out. In general, swinging a baby around by its feet is a bad idea!
