Baby Itsy Bitsy Yoga classes contain dozens of unique yoga postures designed to support baby’s development. Each class is filled with calming, nurturing ways to enhance bonding and improve baby’s sleep. During a Baby Itsy Bitsy Yoga class, babies enjoy yoga while on their backs, tummies, or held in loving arms. For parents, this class is a special opportunity to meet other moms, get support, and learn about baby's emerging personality. Most of the yoga we do in Itsy Bitsy Yoga is for baby, but you will also learn breathing and relaxation techniques as you practice a bit of yoga yourself. No yoga is experience required.
Each class is between 45-60 minutes.
Amanda Santo (BM, MM, CIBYF) has a bachelors degree in education and a masters in music performance. She is also a Certified Itsy Bitsy Yoga Facilitator. Itsy Bitsy Yoga has combined her love of yoga and her love for working with children. She is happy to provide bonding and community building opportunities for families to connect with each other. Amanda loves sharing yoga with her own children as well as the moms and budding yogis and yoginis in her classes.

Are you always saying to yourself: I’d love to find out about yoga..., or, I feel awkward walking into a yoga studio..., or I want to do yoga, but... Then this is where you should be! In our Beginning Yoga (or New to Yoga) workshop we cover the basics of yoga philosophy, yoga poses, breathing techniques, and meditation. We explain some common terms used in a yoga class, what to expect in a yoga class, and studio etiquette – all geared towards making you feel at home in a yoga studio. We also address some of the many, and sometimes confusing, yoga styles. You will leave with a detailed handout, and recommendations for further learning.
If you have a mat bring it, if not we have mats. Come dressed comfortably, and prepared to go bare foot.
