This 2 day workshop qualifies for 6 Contact Continual Education Units (CEUs) and 1 Non-Contact CEU for Yoga Alliance upon completion.
As a Yoga Teacher, have you ever felt nervous and unprepared when a pregnant student comes to your yoga class? Or are you a practitioner who would like to continue regular classes safely during pregnancy?
Join Catherine (ERYT200 YACEP) in a two day workshop understanding the physical requirements of each Trimester of a Yogi’s pregnancy, and discover practical, safe and insightful ways of supporting the practice of pregnant Yogis in your classes. Build confidence in your role as Yoga Teacher ensuring a competent assessment and handling of this tricky situation!
We will discuss a variety of topics including:
- Overview of Different Stages of Pregnancy.
- Changes in the body that influence practice.
- Special conditions to take note of.
- Contraindications & modifications.
The workshop facilitated by Catherine will cover both theory and practice, and will include relevant documentation to support your learning. It is suitable for:
- Teachers who would like greater confidence in guiding an open class with both pregnant and regular students.
- Expecting mothers who would like to know how they can modify their practice during pregnancy.
This workshop is the first of several in the "Teachers Toolbox" Series, a curated selection of workshops hosted by Nithya Priyan School of Yoga relevant to Yoga Teachers and designed to add competancy, confidence and direction to your teaching.
