Overview

This postnatal yoga teacher training (in English) teaches you how to hold space for the transition from maiden to mother or from mother of x children to more. You’ll learn how to hold space and share space with women in a very vulnerable and open time of their lives after they’ve just gone through the biggest bodily and emotional change in the shortest amount of time together with the chaos of birth. This training will give you insights into a more feminine approach to yoga, which can be integrated with other styles of yoga too, whilst guiding you to teach new mothers in confidence.

 We’ll explore and dive deep into the postnatal hormones, nervous system, womb yoga, womb awareness, womb stories, holding space for both processed and unprocessed birth stories, sharing circles, and yoga with babies. All this mixed with sequencing, spaceholding, and how to create a postnatal yoga class in a blend of theory lectures, circle sharing, and practical learning. Each weekend you will receive inspirational practice examples of postnatal yoga classes & you will be teaching and sharing your knowledge with each other from the first weekend onwards.

• Sequencing postnatal yoga classes with and without babies

Who would benefit from this training?

This training is for yoga teachers. Whether you are self-taught or hold certification is to me not important. It is important that you understand the basics of yoga as a whole (asana, meditation, pranayama etc.) for this training to benefit you in your teachings and self-practice. The training is connected with the prenatal training and they are designed to supplement each other, however you are so welcome to join even if you don't take the prenatal YTT.
