This Is Russian Swinging Baby Yoga. You Need Answers

What am I seeing? What is the purpose of the Russian baby throwing? I had so many questions after seeing this. It’s so hard to fathom why this might be a good idea, but I am open to finding out if it has a good reason.

After investigating, this is what I found.

It is called Russian baby-swinging yoga, or dynamic baby gymnastics. They start them as new born infants, some only two weeks old.
It’s popular with Russian and Eastern European hippies.
The older babies seem to be fine with it, as they are probably used to it. But the newborn babies are often heard crying.
It’s not an ancient tradition, it only started 30 years ago.
The man who dreamed this up is Russian yoga teacher Igor Borisovich Charkovsky. There is a specific method to this, to make it safe. Parents are taught how to do it themselves.
It is not safe, it is considered child abuse.
They say it’s good for their babies’ health.
They don’t always do it in the snow naked. They like to do it at beaches, standing over gravel roads, and in living rooms surrounded by TVs and other sharped-edged furniture.

"It is – you guessed it – entitlement. Entitlement to others' money. Entitlement to privilege. Entitlement to power."



"At the moment, my mother is funding us," Catalin wrote on the pair's GoFundMe page. "She works two jobs and has not much herself. We didn't ask her for money but she loves that she is able to help. Mom, I want you to know, that it is not only us but hundreds of others that benefit from your help."

It may be tough to hear, but you are not everyone else’s responsibility — and no one owes you anything. Grow up or, at the very least, shut up — because there are people out there with real problems who are likely sick of hearing you whine.
