FOR Yoga teachers and teachers in training

AND: Professionals who work with pregnant women (childbirth educators, midwives, doulas, nurses, doctors, massage therapists) who have an established yoga practice

PRENATAL YOGA strengthens and makes more flexible the pregnant body. It provides an opportunity for expectant mothers (and their partners), to connect to the ever changing body and the growing baby. Prenatal Yoga is all about pregnancy and birth as a powerful, natural and spiritual event.

The yoga teacher has the privilege of assisting in this journey. Through teaching safe postures, labor breathing and deep relaxation/visualization, we offer women an alternative to fear, drugs and powerlessness. And teaching Prenatal Yoga is fun!!!

In this workshop you will learn:

basic anatomy and physiology of pregnancy and the process/stages of labor

safe and effective postures and breath-work suitable for labor

deep visualizations and affirmations for a safe birth

ways to create community for young families
