About the Training
Course Outline
We will learn how yoga's ancient practices and wisdom can help physically, mentally, and emotionally empower and prepare women at this particular time.
The training is taught over four two-day modules by Christine, a highly experienced yoga and prenatal teacher and yoga trainer, and it includes specific areas of study taught by a midwife.
​
This training can be a standalone Certified Prenatal Training or part of the Advanced Camatkara 300-hour training. For certification, you must hold a 200-hr foundational cert. Still, if you are working in the area of pregnancy or are pregnant yourself and want to go deeper, this may be for you, too.
​
When you finish this course, you can run a confident and fully informed yoga course for pregnant women, whether experienced or new to yoga. You will have the support of Studio Eleven teachers both while you are doing the course and after the course is completed.
