Description
Don’t miss this unique opportunity for yoga teachers, doulas, labor and delivery nurses, childbirth educators and midwives interested in teaching prenatal yoga and pregnant women interested in deepening their practice. This in-depth training is based on the most current information about pregnancy and birth and will provide a rich understanding of Yoga during the childbearing year including the physical, mental/emotional and spiritual aspects. This training counts toward meeting Yoga Alliance’s continuing educational requirements.
In this training we will cover:
• The physiological process of pregnancy and birth including a detailed discussion of the major bodily systems.
• Understanding of the pelvis and how asanas encourage “optimal fetal positioning” for an easier labor and birth.
• Asana modifications, indicated and contraindicated poses.
• Prenatal Yoga Sadhana including pelvic bodywork, kegels, pain coping techniques, vocalization and mantra.
• The effects of emotions and thoughts on pregnancy and birth outcome.
• Medical problems and discomforts in pregnancy and how to address them with yoga.
• Exploration of how our own belief systems about pregnancy and birth affect our teaching.
