As Baby Gloria gets older, she becomes more flexible. She is now 6 months old and is able to bring her foot to her mouth. She loves to put practically everything into her mouth to explore!Instructions for Pose:
1. Mummy can either kneel or sit cross-legged on the floor. Have your baby either sitting on your thigh or in your lap, with her back closest to you.
2. Use your right hand to hold your baby's right leg near her ankle. Your thumb can rest on her shin while your first few fingers support the back of her leg. Support her left leg with your left hand.
3. Bring baby's toes to her nose. You can even tickle her nose with her toes.
4. Repeat 3-5 times.
As with all other yoga poses, it is important to respect our baby. Notice the limit of her flexibility and if she resists the movement, do not force. You can always practise again another day!
This pose helps to improve and maintain hip flexibility. Hip flexibility in boys is different from that in girls. If your baby is a boy, he will be less flexible because of the way the thigh bones (femurs) are positioned into his pelvis.
