Baby Itsy Bitsy Yoga®
Ages: Newborn to Nearly Crawling
Baby Itsy Bitsy Yoga classes contain dozens of unique yoga postures designed to support baby’s development. Each class is filled with calming, nurturing ways to enhance bonding and improve baby’s sleep.
During a Baby Itsy Bitsy Yoga class, babies enjoy yoga while on their backs, tummies, or held in loving arms. For parents, this class is a special opportunity to meet other moms, get support, and learn about baby's emerging personality. Most of the yoga we do in Itsy Bitsy Yoga is for baby, but you will also learn breathing and relaxation techniques as you practice a bit of yoga yourself.
No yoga is experience required. Baby Itsy Bitsy Yoga was created by Helen Garabedian, an Infant Developmental Movement Educator, yoga teacher, and mother. Classes are taught by McKenzie Shields, a trained & certified Itsy Bitsy Yoga Facilitator.

Thank you for your interest in Itsy Bitsy Yoga!
I have had such a wonderful time teaching, and have especially enjoyed getting to know all of the devoted mamas and adorable babies. Each class has been special and I appreciate every one of you who helped make it possible for me to teach, from those of you who coordinated class schedules, to those of you who participated in class, to those of you who cared for and played with my son while I was teaching! Thank you!
I have been offered a career opportunity that I couldn't refuse, and I have to make careful decisions about how to spend my free time now that it is going to be more limited. Unfortunately, that means that
I won't be offering classes at this time.
My friend (who is also an Itsy Bitsy Yoga mama)
may take over at the helm, and I will keep you posted.
We all know how wonderful yoga is despite the lack of substantial medical research on its benefits for adults or for children. Helen Garabedian, however, has been blessed to share yoga with thousands of children between birth and age 4 since she conceived Itsy Bitsy Yoga® in 1999.
