Baby yoga, my ass!

I cannot watch more than the first minute or so of this video, it creeps me out so much. That infant’s neck could snap in an instant! Someone either tell me that this is really safe and OK, or join me in my horror.

:eek:

Damn, woman, it’s a baby, not a pizza crust!

Jesus Christ, how are that infant’s shoulders not dislocated?!

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if it does do nice things for the developing brain, nervous system, proprioception, etc. But I’d like to see a lot more truck support here!

…And, I gotta be honest, the baby seems not to mind. To like it, even. Weird. I think I prefer my charges to have a little more fear of gravity instilled in them.

Hmm… Kitty kitty kitty, here kitty.

funny, she didn’t look pregnant in the video where she was tossing the puppies in the river.

There’s a music soundtrack over that video to cover the screams of the infant. Of course the shoulders were dislocated, unless they started that way.

My God that’s horrible. I can’t imagine letting her hold a baby, let alone twirl it around like a prop from Cirque du Soleil.

LOL. Nah, the kid’s relaxed. No rigidity in the arms or legs, and no crying or back arching when it’s over (yes, I actually did watch it all the way to the end).

I do have some suspicions that parts of it may have been a doll, but heck, people have done weirder things with their babies.

Paralysis after the spine shattered.

I read this topic as “Baba Yaga, my ass!” and was all ready to have a discussion of slavic witches and posteriors. I’m sorely disappointed

Well, hell, now I am, too.

It kind of looks like a baby Yoda.

Well, I know what tops the list of things I’m NOT going to be doing with Junior.

How can this not cause shaken baby syndrome?

That was disturbing to say the least.

Anyone else thinking of Maxwell the Geico piggy screaming weeeeeeeeee? :smiley:

I thought that it was going to be this.

Holy frijoles! I watched the whole video, and it was unnerving as hell. The following thoughts occurred to me:

  • I would be unable to rescue that child. The woman would beat me to death with it. The baby would survive the beating.
  • this is not the first time she’s done this. In fact, she’s probably done this every single day since the kid was born.
  • babies are made out of super-advanced space age rubbery resilient stuff. Someone should get a patent on it.
  • that kid is going to be an insanely talented something when he grows up, or he will end up chopping pieces off himself and eating them.

That was a little disturbing.

A few years ago, at the Palace of Auburn Hills, during the Pistons Half Time show, we saw a father and child/ren act where the Dad laid on his back (supported by something) and juggled his kids with his feet and tossed them into the air.

It.was.freakingly.awesome.

Best half time show I’ve ever seen.

Nice shot!

I am going straight to hell. I did a literal spit-take when I saw that.
