Upcoming Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training
I have been offering prenatal and postnatal classes in the Seattle yoga community for over 10 years. I am a Yoga Alliance 500hr-RYT and RPYT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher) with over 4,500 hours of teaching experience. I am also the lead faculty member of the 8 Limbs Pre/Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training and have taught Yoga for Pregnancy & Postpartum Bodies as part of several studios' 500hr programs.
My passion for teaching yoga teachers to support folks during the perinatal period stems from my own experiences as a pregnant student, finding little support for my changing body during pregnancy and postpartum in regular yoga classes, and from witnessing over the years the profound impact yoga has for pregnant and postpartum students. My hope is to create accessibility for pregnant and postpartum folks to find the support they need in their local yoga communities and to experience the benefit that yoga can offer in addressing the aches and pains common in these periods and the stress relief and nervous system support that all pregnant folks and new parents need.
