For over a decade and a half and having taught pregnancy yoga to more than 5,000 women I will be sharing my wisdom leading this teacher training in the art of yoga for pregnancy and womanhood.
What makes this training unique is the spectrum covered to not only understand pregnancy in all it’s fluctuations and transformations. Students will also develop a comprehensive understanding of women’s practices in general, from the physiological to the subtle to the spiritual.
This course will enable you as a teacher to incorporate pregnant students safely and holistically into your existing classes and the skill set to teach exclusive prenatal classes. The more intimate study of women’s bodies and cycles will deepen your understanding of how to teach all women through all the stages of their lives.
Guest Teachers include Megan Sheppard, midwife and head of the parental education department in the Coombe women’s maternity hospital.
