Happy Baby Pose!

If you ever do yoga then you’ll know this pose.  It’s happy baby pose!  It helps to calm the brain, reduces stress and promotes a feeling of wellbeing as well as being amazing for your hip joints.

Well, Ava is demonstrating it wonderfully here and also showing why it’s got the name of happy baby.  After a baby gets to four or five months, when they’re on their back, they’ll usually adopt this pose quite naturally and so it’s a lovely one to incorporate into a baby photo shoot.  Partly it’s about them having discovered that their own feet are remarkably fun to play with but I’d also like to think that it generally makes them happy just the same as it does for us adults in a yoga class.
