- Support pregnant students in the 4th trimester
- Use restorative yoga in your classes
- Teach partner yoga for pregnancy
- Teach “Baby & Me” yoga classes
- Understand common postpartum discomforts
- Practice self-care as a prenatal yoga guide
- Birth your prenatal yoga teaching business!
This module includes additional offerings by a diverse group of guest teachers.Throughout this training, you will be guided through profound conversations centered around how to collectively heal and grow as a society by uplifting birthing people regardless of race, class, or gender identity. Module II: Advanced Techniques is recommended for yoga teachers who feel passionate about prenatal yoga and want to become a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT®). It is also recommended for pregnant students, themselves, as well as birth workers and educators.
