Pre/Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training
Advertisement
Led by Katie Painter, Whole Heart Space’s beloved teacher since we opened & childbirth education lead, our hybrid Prenatal Teacher Training is specifically designed to not only prepare yoga instructors to lead students through safe pre- AND postnatal yoga practices, but to also build community and support for their students that goes beyond the mat.
With a decade of experience teaching prenatal yoga throughout RVA, Katie has taken her knowledge of what perinatal people need and want from their yoga instructors, and built a curriculum that will prepare new teachers with the expertise, knowledge, and empathy necessary to lead prenatal and postnatal yoga classes.
Our program will run for 4 weeks from 1/19 - 2/13 and consists of virtual lectures Tuesday - Thursday and in person on the weekends following to put that knowledge into practice. These hours plus assigned reading, journaling, observations, and practice teaching will complete your 85 hours.
We’ll cover:
Pregnancy basics, including anatomy of pregnancy and prenatal physiology
Childbirth education
Crafting challenging yet safe sequences for pre-and postnatal bodies
Using inclusive language and other ways to support different types of growing families
Common perinatal issues (mental & physical), how to address them in your classes, and building resources and referrals for issues outside your scope of practice
Pelvic floor and abs in pregnancy
Prenatal pranayama and the subtle body
Using hands-on support techniques
Partner yoga sequencing
Postnatal anatomy and physiology
★ Participants also receive an Unlimited Membership to Whole Heart Space for 2 months during the training (effective 1/10 - 3/7).
