Baby yoga not only pampers your baby
MANILA, Philippines – Parents discovered a new way to bond and help their baby get a healthy start in life through a fun and hip new exercise routine unveiled at the Pampers Yoga Stretchycise launch recently.
Developed through a partnership of baby experts — Pampers, Mother and Child Nurses Association of the Philippines, and Gymboree Play and Music — Pampers Yoga Stretchycise is a fun playtime routine that combines yoga moves with stretching to help encourage the development of baby’s mind and body.
Participants were given a demonstration of these simple exercises that encourage baby movement and active play, which is essential for babies at this stage of their development. The first two years of life is when a child’s brain is growing fastest and before a child can speak, movement is the most important way for them to explore and learn about their social and physical environment, and develop new skills.
Says baby yoga instructor Maritoni Tordesillas-Rufino, “Baby yoga is a great way to encourage active play which is important because at this stage, the preschoolers and below, their way of learning is to play. The Pampers Yoga Stretchycise helps encourage your baby’s development by maximizing body movement.”
The event also celebrated the recent partnership of Gymboree Play and Music with Pampers, who will undertake a joint program this year to help promote active play for better baby development.
“Since Pampers’ mission has always been to help parents nurture their children’s development, we are very happy to have partnered with Gymboree Play & Music as they are the global leader when it comes to creating programs that help boost early childhood development,” remarks Pampers brand manager Chad Sotelo.
Meanwhile, Pampers’ new product — Pampers Active Baby — helps encourage movement through its unique stretchy side tapes that follow a baby’s body shape, allowing for a more comfortable fit so babies can play all day.
