I have just had the pleasure of attending a Birthlight Baby Yoga training with Trainer Sally Lomas inSuffolk. This was a dream come true learning new ways to engage with babies and to help parents with their confidence and parenting style.
 I loved seeing how the babies experienced this playful time and it was great to see this cue based training that parents and babies really enjoyed. Cooings and little sighs of pleasure drifted through the air throughout the parent classes and mothers beamed with satisfaction that they were engaged in this fun activity with their child.
 I also really enjoyed learning about Francoise Freedman’s, the Founder of Birthlight,  personal journey to discover baby yoga. Having worked in Peruvian Amazon with native people she observed the wonderful ways in which the Amazonian families handled and cared for their babies and she then applied the ideas to her own children. Some traditional techniques used with infants inIndiawere also been incorporated and adapted into the yoga sequences.
 The next Baby Yoga training is in Essex September 2012. See website for further details
