200 hour teacher trainings only scratch the surface of yoga, I am sure you agree. There is so much to learn to get you started teaching that typically 200 hour courses out there just cover very basics of pregnancy awareness, if at all! 


When I was a new teacher I can honestly say that my knowledge of teaching 

pregnant students was this:




no core work,

no belly down poses,

no deep twists.


That mindset was ok, until pregnant people showed up to my general classes. I can't explain the panic. I probably messed the whole class up worrying about every flow, every pose, every breath. With hindsight what I actually did, if we are being honest here, was chat to them at the beginning, tell them to take it easy, rest when needed then I let go, I assumed they would be all good on their own, creating their own evolutions of poses to suit their changing body. Imagine being that pregnant person, hearing cues for cobra, bow, dancer, wheel, arm balances and more and thinking "no way I can do that, I don't know what alternative to do so I'll just sit it out". They would be sitting out half the class! 


We cannot argue that recent years have shone a light on inclusivity and as teachers we have had to look at how we teach, what we teach, what we say, what language we use and ultimately how we show up. As we work to create inclusive spaces we must look at how we guide every person that comes to our classes.


What you will learn in this 10 hour course:


pregnancy adaptations of common poses



what poses to avoid and why



what props to offer and how they can be used in pregnancy



how to evolve your teaching for pregnant students



how to evolve common vinyasa transitions and sequences



when and where to refer out if needed



crucial conversations for before class begins



what is happening in the body each trimester and how that can affect a yoga practice


......................................



Who is this course for?

200 hour qualified yoga teachers looking to increase their knowledge and skills set regarding pregnancy


Teachers who feel their 200 hour course didn't cover enough about pregnancy for them to feel confident with pregnant students


Studio owners who want their teachers educated about pregnancy


Please note this course is designed as additional learning to a 200 hour yoga teacher training and supports you in guiding pregnant students in your general classes. It does not qualify you as a full pregnancy yoga teacher nor cover curriculum for pregnancy yoga classes/courses.
