Pregnancy is a completely natural process for the majority of women. The modern world often complicates pregnancy and shild birth with unnecessary interventions. The healthier and more conscious a woman is during this time, the greater her chance of having a joyful pregnancy and childbirth.
-
This pregnancy yoga training teaches how to help women remove the obstacles they may experience during this process. It draws on a broad range of expertise to teach how to create a supportive environment for pregnant women so that they can draw upon their inherent strength and open to their innate softness, strenght and ability to nurture both themselves and their baby during this time and beyond into early motherhood.
-
By feeling confident in mind, body and spirit a woman will have more internal resources to make conscious choices and informed decisions throughout her pregnancy and on the day of the birth of her baby.
-
Our vision with this pregnancy yoga training is:
· to broaden qualified yoga teachers' expertise and complement trained professionals who already support women during pregnancy and birth including doulas and midwives.
· to present a safe, conscious, healthy approach to yoga during pregnancy, and how to teach it effectively.
· to teach how to inspire women and their babies to appreciate and benefit fully from the journey pregnancy takes them on.
· to teach how to support women beyond pregnancy into early motherhood.
