    Ever wonder what happens to the female body during pregnancy, birth and beyond?

    Do you wonder how to safely teach postures and breathing techniques to postpartum mothers?

     

    Whether you plan to teach or not, this course offers fascinating learning on the mystery and majesty of the female body during the most poignant phase of physical transformation. You will emerge from this training with knowledge on:

     

    • Empowering yoga techniques for optimizing core stability before and after birth
    • Breathing techniques for pregnancy and new motherhood
    • The role of the pelvic floor in yoga postures and in pregnancy and postpartum recovery
    • The transforming anatomy and physiology of pregnancy & the “4th” trimester postpartum
    • A guideline on aryurvedic principals for pregnancy and motherhood
    • The power of mantras and sound for yoga and wellness
    • The art of sequencing: yoga for the new mom
    • An overall feeling of confidence in the ability to guide pregnant women in yoga classes.

     

    Pregnancy and birth are rites of passage in a woman’s life, preparing her for the timeless challenges and gifts of becoming a mother. Through yoga, a pregnant woman learns to listen to and trust her body, to dive into her clarity and to shed the confines of conditioned thinking. This fosters authenticity and deep connectedness with her growing baby. Embracing nature’s perfect design, women can thrive, heal and evolve through pregnancy and birth.

     

    Any person wanting to dive deeper into prenatal knowledge while learning the skills to teach prenatal and postnatal yoga, as well as those who want to learn how to safely guide expectant moms in their regular yoga classes are invited to take this training series.

    Yoga teachers, Midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, expectant mothers, health & wellness practitioners, therapists, doctors & nurses also welcome!
