🌿 Honor Female Physiology. Empower All Bodies. Transform Lives. 🌟
Yoga has historically been taught with a focus on the male body, often overlooking the unique needs of female physiology. This training seeks to address that imbalance with an inclusive and comprehensive approach that honors and supports the experiences of those with female bodies. Open to anyone who wishes to empower themselves and others, this program celebrates the full spectrum of human experiences while fostering a yoga community rooted in inclusivity and respect.
Recognized by the Yoga Alliance, The Dolphin Method Yoga Teacher Training goes above and beyond its basic requirements, offering a thoughtfully crafted curriculum that integrates science, traditional yoga philosophy, and a deep respect for the unique challenges and strengths of female physiology. This training is designed for those ready to embrace a comprehensive and transformative understanding of yoga and its potential for the body and mind.
We delve deeply into the profound experiences of menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause—phases of life that deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated. This program welcomes anyone committed to creating yoga practices that are accessible, empowering, and deeply impactful. After completing this training you will also be certified to teach pregnant and postpartum populations.
