| Yoga for Pregnancy, Birth and Baby |
|
|
| |
| Pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting is a miraculous journey many women undertake, one of self-discovery and learning. The practice of yoga during this transition is important and valuable for women, their unborn child and infant. Pregnancy is a process of spiritual, physical and emotional transformation for women. You will learn how to teach yoga in a holistic manner and support healthy women through pregnancy and post natally. |
| |
| Pre natal and post natal yoga teaching is one of the most rewarding experiences you may have as a yoga teacher. Pregnant women are very dedicated to their practice and women often feel physically and emotionally vulnerable during pregnancy and the post natal period. Knowing how to teach women safely during this time will help you to integrate pregnant and post natal women into your classes, in addition to teaching specific pre and post natal classes for women - which are very popular! |
| |
| Dr. Byrne's Yoga for Pregnancy, Birth and Baby Teacher Training is a comprehensive and intensive training course for yoga teachers, aspiring yoga teachers, pregnant women, midwives, doulas and anyone interested in yoga during and after pregnancy. It will provide existing yoga teachers and aspiring teachers with a 100-hour specialisation in yoga for this important time in a woman’s life. For those who wish to complete Jean's 100-hour Yoga for Pregnancy Birth and Beyond Teacher Training, the first step is completing the 25 hours pregnancy module and the 25 hour post natal module. |
