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.
