Itsy Bitsy Yoga® Facilitators are highly trained in seeing the Yoga in each child. 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.

Are you wondering if yoga is safe for babies? According to pediatricians and nurses, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" Itsy Bitsy Yoga is safe, gentle and very effective when done with instruction at home or in a class setting. The parent is responsible for carrying out all of the baby's yoga movements until the baby is walking. In the more active program for tots, parents are there to support and assist their toddler into yoga poses whenever necessary. Parents also enjoy the time to practice yoga poses, while letting their child imitate and explore yoga on their own two feet.

For spirited babies, Itsy Bitsy Yoga includes a number of "Magic Poses" that can literally calm crying in seconds when practiced with the right intensity. As babies grow older, walking babies learn various yoga postures so well that they will move into different poses with IBY's Sing & Do technique. One of Helen's longtime students, Lily, a joyful 22 month old redhead, moves gracefully through many yoga poses such as mountain, tree, downward dog, cobra, upward facing bow pose, and extended child. It is beautiful to watch.
