Why This Training?

Pregnancy... a time of amazing intensity, expansion and adjustment. Teaching Prenatal Yoga is so much more than just Do's and Don'ts. The Pregnant Person needs teachers who can confidently speak to their needs, provide a place of comfort and support as well as show them how to access an inner strength and wisdom. We as a culture are waking up to the importance of pre and postnatal health and this training will have you front and center in that conversation.

​

This is a training that honors a birthing persons many phases and stages throughout their life, especially the awesome rite of passage through pregnancy and birth. Our prenatal yoga teacher training fuses scientific knowledge of the pregnant body with safe practices of dynamic, meditative and nurturing movements as well as offering holistic approach with a spiritual thread for a layered learning experience.

ABOUT THE PRENATAL YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

Led by Jessica Fawcett E-RYT 500, RPYT, Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, ​as well as an array of working birth professionals. Students can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the prenatal body, how to develop classes that will speak to the needs of a prenatal student, as well as study up to date research and methods within the birth work field that will support students in becoming a teacher who can guide with confidence.  

We believe the role of a well educated and passionate Prenatal yoga teacher can make a large impact on the overall health and wellness of our communities.

This training will draw from a rich history of birthing wisdom and will take you through a journey as you explore your own beliefs surrounding birth.
