Sacred Spaces: Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training

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 expectant 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:

  • Safe and empowering postures for each trimester of pregnancy
  • Breathing techniques to optimize oxygen levels and reduce stress
  • Anatomy of the pelvic floor: priming the gateway of birth
  • The transforming anatomy and physiology of pregnancy & new motherhood
  • Pregnancy & Ayurveda: optimizing wellness for each trimester & for postpartum
  • The power of mantras and sound for prenatal classes and the birth process
  • The art of sequencing: how to create a safe and empowering prenatal class
  • An overall feeling of confidence in the ability to teach prenatal & postnatal 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 attune to 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. Yoga teachers, Midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, expectant mothers, health & wellness practitioners, therapists, doctors & nurses also welcome!

Weekend 2: Yoga for Pregnancy, Labour & Delivery – The ultimate rite of passage January 3-5, 2025 
Weekend 3: Postnatal Yoga – Supporting the mother’s journey January 31-February 2, 2025

Yoga is both the path and the tool to uncover space within the body and the mind. Within this space lives the truth. We are whole, unburdened, and blissful. My journey to yoga was sparked during my time as a birth doula. Witnessing and holding space for women as they gave birth in a powerful and connected way, ignited a curiosity in the connection between our physical body…

…the mind, and spirit. Deepening my understanding of the physical body I completed a massage therapy diploma in 2011. My passion for anatomy and functional movement began here. During the remedial exercise component of the program I was introduced to Akhanda yoga. Akhanda yoga opened up the world of pranayama, meditation, and mantra, along side the physical aspect of yoga.

This was the bridge between the physical body and the spirit that I was looking for.

I continued to deepen my practice and completed my 200hr yoga teacher training at Prana in 2017.

Always curious and wanting to dive in deeper, I’m currently working to complete my 300 hr teacher teacher training.

I look forward to sharing and continuing the journey to wholeness with you.
