My courses blend the best of classical and contemporary yoga techniques with mindfulness training and birth education, crafting a truly holistic and effective framework aimed at empowering and nurturing the pregnancy and birth community.
Training courses that we run:
Pregnancy & Postnatal Yoga Training Courses
Step into the sacred journey of motherhood and discover the transformative power of yoga at this potent time. Our specialised and in-depth courses are crafted just for you—empowering yoga teachers to guide and support women through every stage of the incredible journey to motherhood. Dive deep into the heart of prenatal and motherhood yoga, where ancient wisdom meets modern expertise; where classical yoga intercepts with pelvic healing, birth dance and somatic movement to nurture both body and soul.
What makes our trainings unique is the emphasis on mindfulness practice, which is a key component of both trainings. As teachers you learn how to weave both practices together in a powerful union designed specifically for the needs of the pregnant women and postnatal mother.
Embrace the spiritual essence of yoga as you expand your teaching toolkit, seamlessly blending timeless practices and ancient female wisdom with up-to-date birthing knowledge. Gain the confidence to lead with grace and safety, walking alongside your students through pregnancy, preparing them for birth and supporting their postnatal integration afterwards. #EmpowerMotherhood #SacredTeachings
Maternity Chakra Course
Explore the radiant energy of the maternity chakras and unlock the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit at a uniquely transformative time. Empower pregnant women to embrace their bodies, explore their mind and reconnect with their spirit, as they journey through the chakras in readiness for the powerful energetic experience of childbirth and matrescence beyond.
This training is a call to bring the spiritual dimension back to childbirth; for woman to remember their authentic body-based spirituality and to discover the true capacity of yoga as a powerful practice for womankind.
Join us on a soul-stirring adventure, where each session becomes a portal to awakening; where yoga is healing, and every moment is infused with the beauty of female empowerment. #YogaTransformations #SacredTeachings
