Hilaria Baldwinhas no problem showing off heryoga poses everywhere from the park to the pedicure chair.

But for her, it isnt only about playing up to the paparazzi. Its a practice that she takes seriously and really believes can help new moms.

Recently, she took time to share some postpartum-friendly posesand tips with Giada De Laurentiis for Giada Weekly, the chefs online magazine. And she brought along a special guest for the demo: 7-month old daughter Carmen Gabriela!

Baldwin, 29, says her little girlis already a mini-yogi, and she was just born with it. Yoga makes sense because its the natural way of movement, she says. So I see things that Carmen does and I encourage it. Its reinforcing what she does naturally.

The new mom isreferring tothe happy babypose (shown in the cute photo below!), which Carmen, like most babies, quickly takea shine to.

She also admits she started doing yoga right away after she gave birth to Carmen, but took it easy, starting with stretches in the hospital.

Three weeks later, she was able to do a 15-minute run. Butof course, there have beensome changes to her regular routine.

I do yoga every day, says the instructor at N.Y.C. studio Yoga Vida, but now I only teach two classes a week. At one point I was teaching 36 classes a week!

Its a good thing she took things down a notch Baldwin started to develop stress fractures in her hips. She explains, Yoga is good, but like anything, in excess it can be bad for you.
