Stokke® Yoga™ is the first of its kind, featuring innovative dual-motion technology with motor-free bouncing and swinging movements—initiated by the baby or caregiver. Developed with input from physiotherapists, it’s designed to soothe, stimulate, and support development.

The unique movement is patent-pending and made to trigger the vestibular system, giving babies the stimulation they naturally crave. Vestibular stimulation is triggered by gentle motions like swinging, bouncing, and rocking—which in turn can improve balance, soothe little ones, and support essential developmental milestones like posture, sitting, crawling, and walking.

Designer Bianca Hanauer highlights the inspiration behind the brand-new design, “Through talking to families worldwide, we learned that it is more beneficial to combine different movements in one product. Babies’ needs are constantly changing depending on their development stage, their mood and their age—therefore the movement has to adapt.”

The development process was thorough, focusing on user needs through research in key markets (US, China, and Europe), on-site studies, and user testing at every stage. This iterative approach ensured thoughtful adjustments for a purposeful product. It stands out from the market as it offers parents a versatile two-in-one product. As one participant from user testing shared, “I prefer the bouncing motion because it keeps the baby the most engaged and it’s easier to play with the baby […] My partner prefers the swinging motion as it soothes the baby.”

Beyond its innovation, the premium and user-friendly design of Stokke® Yoga™ makes it a natural fit for everyday family life. The breathable mesh combines a soft cotton top with polyester underneath, releasing heat to keep babies cool without compromising comfort. It has three recline options for different development stages, a removable newborn cushion, and a thoughtful design to accommodate even the tiniest newborns up to 9kg/20lbs.

One user highlighted its ease of use, sharing, “It is easy to put the baby in the bouncer and close and open the buckle. The swinging and bouncing come very easily, without any noises or interruptions.” Furthermore, Stokke® Yoga™ is designed with parents in mind. Assembly is quick and straightforward—simply snap in the pole and adjust it to the ideal position. Disassembly is just as easy, with the bouncer folding flat for convenient storage or travel. Its legs are made from high-quality FSC-certified European beechwood, the same durable material used for the iconic Tripp Trapp® chair.

The soft swing is designed to soothe, while the bounce is ideal for stimulating—both giving parents hand-free time while keeping their little one close. Featuring machine-washable fabric and a secure swing lock, it’s effortless to use and able to move from room to room.

Stokke® Yoga™ provides a safe, nurturing spot for babies to rest, play, and grow. With its unique combination of bouncing and swinging, it mimics the soothing rhythm of being cradled in a parent’s arms— offering both comfort and developmental benefits. As Designer, Bianca Hanauer explains, “Parents intuitively use movements that imitate patterns of nature, like waves or the motions of the womb, to soothe or stimulate their newborns. Stokke® Yoga™ mimics these natural movements, which also helps infants slowly learn how to swing or bounce themselves.
