Best-selling author Helen Garabedian is an innovator in specialty yoga with babies, toddlers, and tykes. Helen created Itsy Bitsy Yoga in 1999 because, “Since I was a child, I have worked with and cared for babies in different capacities. As a yoga teacher and infant developmental movement educator, and as a mother, I consistently use my intuition and creativity to care for and enhance the lives of little ones. I wanted to develop and share a way holistic-minded parents can connect with and raise their babies with awareness. Yoga gave me the platform for my purpose: 'To help many people help many other people find peace and realize their limitless potential in this lifetime.'

Helen has made a lifelong commitment to yoga and young children. As a Certified Hatha Yoga Teacher, Certified Infant Developmental Movement Educator, USUI Reiki Master, IAIM Certified Infant Massage Instructor, Certified Pregnancy Yoga Teacher and Level One Brain Gym graduate, she is a master in her field. Helen has been a student of Hatha Yoga and many other spiritual and holistic arts since she was a child herself and now as a mother, enjoys sharing yoga with her toddler Andrew.
