We believe that specialised Yoga can be of benefit to every pregnant woman.  This course will give yoga teachers the skills and knowledge to teach pregnant women safely and with confidence and  a respect for the natural continuum of pregnancy and birth. We know that regular yoga practice invites mothers to  feel more in tune with their bodies and babies, building confidence through the emotional and physical transitions of pregnancy and gathering tools to prepare for a satisfying birth.
