Learn to teach Prenatal Yoga, and guide pregnant women through the journey of pregnancy, while preparing them physically and mentally for the powerful transition of childbirth and motherhood.
This 85-hour Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training allows you to expand your career options while guiding pregnant students/clients through the journey of pregnancy – preparing them physically, emotionally, and informationally for the powerful transition of childbirth.
This safe and effective Prenatal Yoga teacher trainings adapts Vinyasa Yoga for the needs of pregnancy, providing a system that works with the pregnant body without sacrificing the intensity needed to prepare for childbirth. This unique approach to prenatal yoga gives pregnant people the opportunity to safely remain active and challenged in their vinyasa practice. The strengthening that occurs in this Prenatal Yoga practice prepares the necessary muscles for labour and childbirth, often resulting in shorter labour, less pain, and fewer interventions, including a decrease in the need for Cesarean birth. Learning to link breath and movements in a constant flow greatly increases the ability for women to work with their bodies, increasing the likelihood of a more natural and joyous birth experience.
