Bini Birth Loft Space

If you want to learn more about how yoga can support you, your students or your clients, this weekend will open up a world of possibilities. Learn the fundamental principles of yoga, specifically the biomechanical and heart-based alignment principles of Anusara (“to align with your true nature”), and how they can help pregnant women move through the trimesters with ease, grace, even joy.

No interest in teaching prenatal is necessary – just curiosity, an open mind, and a willing heart.  If you do want to teach, you will receive a certificate and support for starting your own class. 

Friday 7:00-9:00pm
General Q&A, and in whatever time is left, enjoy some prenatal yoga with how’s and why’s about supporting the pregnant body.

Saturday 9am-5:00pm
Delve into the Anusara Universal Principles of Alignment and how they apply to the trimesters, to help pregnant women relieve common aches and pains and feel strong and spacious throughout the journey. Learn variations of poses to accommodate the physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy and labor, and optimal sequencing for pregnancy.

Sunday 9am-11:00am
Learn about pregnancy and labor-related concepts and weaving them through classes, practice finding ways to adjust pregnant students, and, if you are taking this as a teacher training, teach your new friends a little bit of prenatal yoga.  If not, enjoy a wonderful practice and in whatever time we have left, touch on helpful topics such as the Yoga of Post-partum Care, the Business of Prenatal Yoga, and Mom Yoga.
