"Most toys today encourage babies to entertain themselves. Jackie's program encourages heartfelt human contact, which is what babies need most for healthy development."
-Daniel Aronzon, MD, Pediatrician, President and CEO, Vassar Brothers Medical Center

Benefits for your baby:
Throughout this program, you will be encouraged to gently move your baby's body rhythmically as you sing along with the movements. This rhythmic movement is based on modified yoga poses and has the following benefits for your baby:

• Improves circulation of blood & lymph, benefiting your baby's circulatory and lymphatic systems
• Stimulates your baby's proprioceptor system, the system of nerves throughout the body used to help with balance
• Stretches and strengthens your baby's major muscle groups
• Facilitates neuromuscular development, in turn strengthening your baby's mind-body connection
• Helps your baby begin to develop his/her own sense of timing and rhythm
• Offers your baby an opportunity to experience what she/he needs most for healthy development: your attuned and loving presence
  
  

Further, neuroscientific research suggests that the attuned presence of the primary caregiver, as encouraged in this program, promotes healthy development of an infant's brain. Psychological research indicates that empathic mirroring, as outlined in the DVD, facilitates a baby's self-understanding, which can have a positive effect on emotional resilience and psychological well-being later in life.
