Don’t miss this unique opportunity for yoga teachers, doulas, labor and delivery nurses, childbirth educators and midwives interested in teaching prenatal yoga. This in-depth training is based on the most current information about pregnancy and birth and will provide a rich understanding of Yoga during the childbearing year including the physical, mental/emotional and spiritual aspects.

In this training we will cover:
