Taking the prenatal vinyasa yoga teacher training was one of the biggest gifts I could have given myself. While I did this training to gain more knowledge for a job I had recently taken teaching yoga to pregnant teens, the sacred circle of learning and sharing that Jennifer created during this training was so rich it felt like a milestone of transformation in my life. To gain the sisterhood of women from such diverse backgrounds coming together to help support women during pregnancy was truly magical. As I have begun offering prenatal yoga in my practice, it has been such a rewarding experience with deep lasting connections in my community. Thank you Jennifer!

I cannot say enough good things about my 85 hour Prenatal Vinyasa Training with Jennifer More. I now have a [much healthier] perspective on pregnancy, birth, and most importantly, myself. Jennifer is extremely caring and is able to connect with students. I really appreciate how research and evidence based her teachings are. Everything she teaches has years and years of research behind it. I feel confident that I can go out and teach pregnant women a vinyasa style class with ease. Thank you, Jennifer. Your training has forever changed my teachings, my perspective, my life!

Dear Jennifer, I just want to thank you for this past week. The training was absolutely fantastic and I got so much out of…much more than I expected. You are such an inspiration and your passion and enthusiam is so contagious. I am really excited to help share all of this knowledge and to learn so much more about the whole prenatal yoga world. Thank you, thank you and thank you again, and also thank you to your beautiful sister, Liz. You are both so wonderful and I hope to see you again.

I very much enjoyed the training. Jennifer was very knowledgeable and great at balancing out lectures with the actual practices; also wildly entertaining and funny. It helped keep me interested and excited for what was next.

…very knowledgeable, experienced, and had answers to almost everything and found the answers she did not know.

…Super knowledgeable, great instructor, great resources and manual and great exercises. I learned so much not only to help students, but for myself. I’m really glad I did not miss this experience

Fantastic! Something all yoga instructors should do/experience. I’ll highly recommend your course, website and DVDs to students, instructors and moms.

I Just wanted to thank you again for a truly amazing teacher training experience. I never imagined how enlightening, empowering and transformational the training would be. So exciting to have been shared this gift!

I love the way Jennifer teaches, I feel honored to have had the opportunity to take this training.

I was actually really impressed! When I signed up for the course, I was super excited, but thought it was going to be entirely focused on yoga and variation of the poses, etc…suddenly the course begun and I found myself learning a BUNCH of things about pregnancy, labor, birth and post-natal stuff! I learnt things I didn’t actually think I’d be learning until I was pregnant myself, and it was beautiful and amazing!

The amount of information that Jennifer gave us was unbelievable, and the way in which she conveyed all that info was fantastic. The passion that she has for what she does really shines through in every little thing she teaches. It was fantastic and I feel really blessed to have had Jennifer as my teacher…and as an inspiration! I actually asked my boyfriend if we could move to California when we’re married and pregnant with our first child, just so Jennifer can be our doula :P!

This was one of those choices that I know I will NEVER regret.

I really enjoyed taking Jennifer’s course, she really inspires me, her style, her voice during savasana, and the quality of information she gave us.

Thank you for these 4 beautiful days!! i felt myself full of love and i begin to share all the things I learned with my friends. it is just amazing!!! for me it was dream and you did that it is now a realty!!!! thank you!!

RPYS Reviews

This is an excellent Prenatal yoga training. I had a great time and they teacher, Jennifer Moore, was amazing. I felt well prepared to teach prenatal yoga after graduation.

Joyce Hsu

Jennifer More and supporting team offer a unique prenatal yoga teacher training given her supporting backgrounds in the field of doula work and clinical hypnosis. She has an unmatched knowledge of pregnant women’s physical, emotional and spiritual transitions during pregnancy, labor and childbirth. That knowledge is invaluable to what she teaches and how she trains prenatal yoga teachers.

Jessica De Los Rios

This training with Jennifer More is of a very high standard and it has exceeded my expectations. The curriculum was very well put together and presented wonderfully. It was great to have an opportunity to combine theory and practice within this training. Jennifer created a welcoming and safe environment for learning and sharing and has inspired me to not only continue teaching prenatal yoga, but also to keep deepening my understanding of pre- and post-natal processes and to become a doula in the future. I have gained a lot of confidence in my prenatal teaching and lots of knowledge and practical tips to share with my students. I would strongly recommend this training to anyone planning to become a prenatal yoga teacher.

Katya Mourits

I really appreciated Jennifer’s impeccable attention to detail and the very detailed explanations she shared. The integrity of the class and what I learned was far beyond my expectations as a certified labor and birth doula. Jennifer is deeply knowledgable and has a natural talent for conveying what she wants the student to grasp making the training a deep learning experience. She was professional, thoughtful and helpful. Her teaching methods for practice teaching were highly valuable- everytime a student taught and we discussed as a group I learned something new. This is an inspiring, impeccable, deeply valuable Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training. If you have only one training to complete in this lifetime, this is the one!

Julia Piazza

I was so impressed with the scope of information taught in this training. Jennifer More has much passion for teaching teachers and it is clear that she has a high level of integrity with this material and wants to create a community of like-minded teachers to offer these teachings to the pre-natal yoga community. I feel so grateful to have come upon this training and already have recommended her to others.

It was a great experience studying with Jennifer. I did not want the training to finish, every single day was full of helpful information. The instructor provided us with a bunch of tools to look for information. I have used lots of them for my prenatal yoga classes. I would take any training with Jennifer again in the future.
