* Bond with your baby
* Enhance your physical and mental well-being
* Tone your body
* NO yoga experience necessary

Find a new way to deal with the stress of being a new mom. Now that baby has arrived, take time to connect with other mothers to revitalize and renew your mind, body and spirit. Classes will enhance your physical and mental well-being while you bond with your baby.

Itsy Bitsy Yoga® introduces your baby, tot or tyke and you to the many benefits of yoga in the first years of life. Helen Garabedian, an Infant Developmental Movement Educator and Registered Yoga Teacher, created this program which includes more than 125 yoga poses and techniques for babies from birth to 4 years old (please note - this class is for infants 6 weeks to 9 months) that are developmentally nutritious and deepen the parent/child bond.

According to The Heart of Yoga, by TKV Desikachar, meanings include 'to unite' 'to come together' and 'acting in such a way that all of our attention is directed toward the activity in which we are currently engaged.' Itsy Bitsy Yoga Facilitators help bring the various meanings of yoga to life for babies, toddlers and parents. When mom or dad comes to class, they are not distracted by the outside world. Parents relax themselves completely and witness their baby's growing personality and emerging body composition.

You and your baby will delight in practicing Yoga, discovering movement, and singing IBY rhymes together. Babies, tots and tykes participate according to their ability, learning style, and personality. They will learn yoga through repetition, play, and bonding.

Babies should be 6 weeks to 9 months. Please bring a blanket for your baby and all other items your child may need to be comfortable (pacifier, toys, etc.)
