Baby yoga songs and rhymes
We use a lot of songs and rhymes during baby yoga to complement the yoga poses during our sessions. These are just a few of them that you can use at home when you are practicing and playing with your small person

Shake them just like this
Roll them, roll them, roll them, roll them
Blow a little kiss!
The Wheels on the bus
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round, round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town.
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
The people on the bus go up and down
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep.
