Whether you’re an experienced baby yoga teacher, or you're coming to it for the first time, it’s always useful to read around the topic and familiarise yourself with the background, the benefits and moves in infant yoga.

Our founder Julie has been teaching baby yoga and massage for 13 years, and has built up quite a library in that time. If you're preparing to start to learn to teach baby yoga, or you're currently mulling it over, these books are a great place to start.
