Birthing a Conscious World: Pre-Natal Yoga Teacher Training
Our children are our future. Serve the world by ushering women into motherhood consciously, powerfully and gracefully.
This Pre-Natal Yoga Teacher Certification Course brings a holistic and integrated approach to birthing by drawing from Anusara Yoga®, Kundalini Yoga, Ayurveda and meditation. Students will train to become responsible and compassionate professionals while working with pregnant women. By merging the ancient ways of birthing and mothering that have been handed down to us through the ages with Yogic philosophy and biomechanics, you will lead a new mother to the awareness that she truly knows within herself of how to bring her baby forth into this world. Students will learn to empower and educate women about how to care for themselves and their babies during pregnancy, birth and beyond.
- N.B.A specialist in the birthing field will teach the anatomy and birth education portion of this training.
