Women can improve their bond with their children by attending family yoga sessions, perhaps in their bamboo yoga wear, according to a commentator.

Madelyn, aged nine, attends a parent and child yoga fitness class with her mum at the Heart of the Valley YMCA in Kimberly, Wisconsin, the postcrescent.com reports.

She told the news website that the exercise sessions give her the opportunity to chat with her mum about what they are going to do at the weekend and how their days have been.

"It's something we can do together and we both enjoy and have that mother-daughter time," said Madelyn's mum, Christy Doering, 30.

She went on to say that Madelyn looks forward to going to the classes every week.

Back in January, YogaKids teacher Cheryl Crawford told CNN that, regardless of whether a person is donning their ladies yoga clothing for the first time or is more experienced, the exercise is great for building strength and flexibility.
