..to ensure your classes are interesting, vibrant and enable your participants to experience the joy of being deeply connected with their own inner flow.

This training is open to you if you are looking to begin your perinatal yoga teaching journey.

Mindfulness Training led by psychotherapist, Cllr and Mindfulness facilitator Belinda Freeman is a key feature of this course with great emphasis on practice. As part of the learning, you will be taught about the architecture of the mind, inner preparations for childbirth, how to use the breath and the body as a place of insight and how to use mindfulness to work with difficult emotions including fear and the the experience of pain.

The course offers a strong focus on anatomy and physiology with our visiting lecturers’ osteopath and women’s health specialist Laura Tilson, midwife Joy Horner and Nadia’s commitment to promoting and encouraging holistic pelvic health.
