Brain Based Movement Flow Part 2 (Ages 4-8 months)
Babies are learning every movement and thought pattern from scratch. We want to help optimize these pathways and their nervous system so they can function at their fullest potential!
Babies are constantly growing and developing. This is the the second brain movement flow for slightly older babies around 4-8 months.
We will be building off of the prior exercises and movement patterns from the first brain movement flow.

We know that movement stimulates the brain and if there are imbalances in our movement patterns there are imbalances in the patterning of our brain!
We want to optimize babies brain development and movement patterns from the very beginning of life. This will build a very strong and stable nervous system foundation that they will have for the rest of their life. And will help support them as they learn more advanced movement, education and emotional processing.
This video will take baby through key movement patterns during the first 4-8 months of life. We will work on engaging the core, getting the left and right hemispheres of the brain talking, more complex eye tracking, deep neck flexor strength, sitting support, hip range of motion and nervous system calming techniques. All very important foundational brain exercises!
This video is meant for babies around 4-8 months. You want to make this brain based movement flow fun for both you and your baby. Please modify any exercises to best suit your baby. And if they have troubles doing any of them, it might be a good sign to take your baby to a chiropractor (or another pediatric skilled body worker).
👉 For this class you will want a couple exciting toys, maybe a high contrast picture, a rattling toy, etc..
Depending on your baby's current ability and attention span you might need to break this video up into smaller chunks or do more/less reps. And a good goal is to try to do a couple of these exercises most days of the week for optimal benefits.
