About Itsy Bitsy Yoga International
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 that are developmentally enriched 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.
"For as long as I can remember, I have been blessed with the gift of looking at a baby and clearly knowing what he/she needs, or is trying to express in that moment," says Helen Garabedian." To teach parents how to do the same through yoga brings forth so much joy and understanding. Parents who meditate (or practice yoga) are better able to understand their babies on a non-verbal level. This is a valuable parenting skill that will continue to grow as the baby enters childhood and adolescence.
