Class Description - Itsy Bitsy Yoga

Jgroves4ward2 — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:31:47 CST

Created by Helen Garabedian, Baby-Yoga expert, a Registered Yoga Teacher and Infant Developmental Movement Educator.

Baby Itsy Bitsy Yoga

Ages: Newborn to Almost Crawling Baby with a Parent or Caregiver

Itsy Bitsy Yoga is a calming and nurturing yoga practice full of ways to enhance bonding and make babies happier and more comfortable in their bodies. This class contains dozens of unique yoga postures designed specifically to soothe and support the development of a baby's body. During the BABY IBY class, the baby is mostly lying on their tummy, back or in a parent’s arms. For parents, this class gives the special time necessary to bond with and learn about your baby's emerging personality. Most of the yoga we do in Itsy Bitsy Yoga is for the child, but you will learn breathing and relaxation techniques as well as practice some yoga for yourself. (No yoga experience required)

BENEFITS TO BABY • Better & Longer Sleep • Improved Digestion & Ease in Gas Pains • Relief from fussiness and colic • •Neuromuscular-Development • Positive Body Image and Increased Self –Confidence • • Strengthens the Immune System • Better Regulated Emotions •

Tots Itsy Bitsy Yoga

Ages: almost crawling to 24 months with a parent or caregiver

A fun-loving, supportive, and active yoga practice filled with dozens of Itsy Bitsy Yoga poses just for tots. In a time when tots naturally become busier, Itsy Bitsy Yoga continues to build the parent/child bond, helps our tots feel happier and more confident in their moving bodies, and encourages their creative spirit. IBY founder, Helen Garabedian, has discovered many proven techniques playfully teach tots yoga postures while they are standing, sitting up, walking, and jumping set of yoga postures. Parents get to do a little yoga too (no yoga experience required). Experience the shared joy when Tots move into yoga poses on their own!

BABY & TOT BENEFITS • Better & Longer Sleep • Improved Digestion & Ease in Gas Pains • Relief from fussiness and colic • •Neuromuscular-Development • Positive Body Image and Increased Self –Confidence • • Strengthens the Immune System • Better Regulated Emotions •

Tykes Itsy Bitsy Yoga

Ages: 21 month to 4 year-old

Itsy Bitsy Yoga® for Tykes offers more than 50 unique and engaging yoga postures, rhymes and activities for you to share with your 21 month to 4 year-old. You and your tyke will delight in practicing yoga, discovering new movements and singing together. Now that your tyke can mimic, walk and talk, Itsy Bitsy Yoga uses his skills and interests to enhance his awareness and self-confidence. Preschoolers have a mind of their own, and trained Itsy Bitsy Yoga facilitators know exactly how to honor and appeal to these independent spirits. Each Tyke IBY class is personalized around the curiosities of the child participants as the children learn yoga through social interactions, repetition, and play.

About Rebecca

Jgroves4ward2 — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:26:23 CST

Rebecca Gitter is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) having completed her teacher training at the Yoga Center of Columbia. She is also a Certified Itsy Bitsy Yoga® facilitator for babies, tots & tykes and holds a level 2 certificate from the Radiant Child Yoga Program.

In 1998, shortly after the birth of her son, Rebecca began her yoga journey in an attempt to find her pre-pregnancy "self".
Instead, she found a new awareness of her body and acceptance and appreciation for the natural changes resulting from pregnancy and childbirth. In addition, she found new techniques to calm and relax from the stress of being a working mother. Pre- and post- natal yoga proved to make for an easier second pregnancy and recovery as well.

In 2005, at the suggestion of her yoga teacher and mentor Douglas Thompson, Rebecca attended Itsy Bitsy Yoga facilitator training with founder Helen Garabedian. She was hooked and knew that this was her calling, the perfect outlet to share yoga with parents and children. Inspired by her new role in the yoga community.

Rebecca decided to continue her yoga training and deepen her personal practice by becoming a certified yoga teacher. She trained with Kathy Donnelly and Joe Roberson at the Yoga Center in Columbia and has recently been approved as a registered yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance. Rebecca has also completed level 2 of the Radiant Child Yoga with Shakta Kaur Khalsa.

Rebecca's experience and primary practice is based in Hatha Yoga, but she has practiced and incorporates, Anasura, Iyengar and Kundalini yoga disciplines into her methodology.

Rebecca has enjoyed sharing the joys of yoga with her own children and is
honored and delighted to share that joy with all of her students - babies, children and adults.
