50 HOURS PRE-NATAL
YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Prenatal yoga is a powerful way for expectant mums to prepare for birth and motherhood. It can support them in body and mind, integrating the changes of this life season and learning to navigate this rite of passage with a sense of empowerment, calm and confidence.
As yoga teachers, we play an important role for our students through this time, helping build their confidence and holding space for their unique needs, experiences and expectations. Whether you intend to work specifically with pregnant people, or simply want to know how best to support those attend your general classes, this training will be invaluable.
This accredited 50 hour course is for yoga teachers seeking to expand their knowledge and offerings, and pregnant people (or those planning to be) wanting a more informed practice.
Course facilitator, Julia-Rose Gribble, is a devoted mother, educator and experienced pre & postnatal yoga teacher. She feels energised and passionate in holding space for yoga teachers, pregnant people and mums, educating and supporting them on the benefits of pre & postnatal yoga, and empowering them to trust their bodies and innate capabilities. Julia’s knowledge and nurturing approach will support you to learn, grow and feed your passion for pre & postnatal yoga.
