Teaching prenatal yoga is a special gift to women. It provides a nurturing environment to stretch and strengthen, often relieving the common complaints associated with the childbearing year. It teaches women the important arts of relaxation and self reflection, which are especially helpful in the passage to motherhood. An added benefit for many women is that prenatal & postnatal yoga classes are a wonderful place for new friendships to blossom.

A woman goes through many physical, emotional and hormonal changes during the childbearing year. Our training addresses how to work with these changes in a safe and supportive way. You learn how to structure prenatal and postpartum yoga classes, including important poses and contraindications. We discuss how to modify poses to safely incorporate a pregnant woman into a regular yoga class. We share helpful tools on teaching yoga while babies are present, including how to integrate babies into poses. Our program delves deeply into the path of pregnancy, the journey of birth, and the challenges that can be associated with postpartum recovery.

Along with yoga, topics include anatomy & physiology, childbearing education, self-help acupressure, aromatherapy, holistic remedies, and nutrition. Western medicine and ancient wisdom are both discussed for a balanced understanding of how to help childbearing women make informed choices.
