Baby’s Breath
Itsy Bitsy Yoga at Exhale 28 Arlingston St., Back Bay
Exhale, the go-to yoga studio and spa for an intense experience in a peaceful and luxurious environment, now counts babies and toddlers among their most dedicated practitioners. Peek into a Buddha-endowed, candlelit studio two mornings a week for a glimpse of the smallest seekers of spiritual soothing. The Itsy Bitsy Yoga regimen, founded by Helen Garabedian, is designed to help young ones feel comfortable and build confidence in their bodies. The program for newborns teaches new mothers to relieve stress through breath and meditation, and to instill calm and quiet to their babies through gentle movement and gas-releasing techniques. The sessions for tots are active gatherings with songs and the practicing of poses like downward dog, tree, and bridge. Here’s to early ecstasy.
