Join Jane Austin (Perinatal Teacher and Trainer for 30+ Years and Founder of Mama Tree) to learn the essential information needed to practice and/or teach yoga at this powerful and transformative time.
This 3-hour workshop goes beyond the dos and don’ts, we will cover the whys with a deep dive into the anatomy and physiology of the pregnant body. You will learn modifications and variations of postures so that you can better practice and/or serve your pregnant students. There is a lot of misinformation about what is appropriate at this time. We will debunk some of the myths. This workshop will include lecture, discussion and a short practice. It will be fun, informative and maybe mind blowing. The only prerequisite is that you come with a curious and open mind.
Cost: $155 (10% off for Metta Yoga members applies automatically at checkout).
