Lena Fokina believes her baby-swinging yoga techniques can help children be better prepared for life. Watch a video of her tossing an infant around and decide if you think it's appropriate.
The baby yoga video below went viral when many viewers were convinced that Lena Fokina was using a fake child. New source claim that the child is real and Fokina is very serious about her technique.
Baby yoga users claim that it's uses are innumerable. Their children could reportedly learn to walk and swim earlier. That their babies were fearless. Although no studies have concluded that the baby-swinging harms or helps children.
In an interview by DadWagon, Fokina described the video you see below and the infant she was practicing 'dynamic gymnastics' with.
'The child was born in the Black Sea region. Her name is Platona, and she was two weeks old when we took that video. We have a lot of children like her here. They are early readers, singers, talkers, swimmers. You haven't seen anything like it anywhere!! And there's swimming with dolphins, scuba diving with them,' Fokina explained.
Do you think this form of baby yoga is too extreme? Would you practice 'dynamic gymnastics' with your child?
