This 85-hr Pre/Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training is in-depth study of contraindications of pregnancy in regard to the asana practice, how pregnancy affects the body and how those contraindications may affect a student’s practice. Through lecture, open discussion and hands-on practice, we will learn how to modify asana and offer pranayama practices in order to develop class sequences that prepare and educate students mentally and physically for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This training is comprehensive, inclusive, and will prepare you to lead classes that nurture and support students throughout their journey.

​

Over our 4 weekends together, you can expect to learn the following:

• An in-depth review of pregnancy and birth education

• Fertility and infertility, and how to address & support all different journeys to pregnancy

• How to address discomforts, complications, and issues of pregnancy

• Modifications for asana practice for the pregnant body by trimester

• Prenatal class sequencing (including practice teaching!)

• Anatomy of the pelvis and abdomen in terms of how pregnancy affects the body

• Therapeutic approach to working with this population

• Cultural attitudes of pregnancy/birth and your role in supporting students

• How to address asana practice for the postnatal period, including a review of PMADs

 

★ Participants also receive an Unlimited Membership to Whole Heart Space for 3 months during the training (effective 2/1/25 - 4/30/25).

 

Please note: This group will maintain confidentiality throughout the training — the topic of pregnancy, birth, etc can bring up a lot of emotions so we commit to maintaining a level of comfort and security to ensure the mental health of all those involved.
