For Yoga Teachers, New moms interested in deepening their practice, Nannies, Doulas, Daycare Providers, Postnatal Massage Therapists, and Prenatal Yoga teachers looking to continue with their students and babies!

Learn to guide and serve new mamas with grace and humor.  Mommy and Me Yoga is for moms in the first year of motherhood who want to practice yoga with their baby!  It is an important year for healing, and a crucial year for connecting with other moms.  A Mommy and Me Yoga teacher can serve as a guide, helping support the new mom to meet the challenges of becoming a mother.  Mommy and Me yoga is a combination of healing, strengthening, and humility.  This training will help you teach in a way that empowers women through their journey and builds community that lasts a lifetime.

What is included: 

• Humor:  What does it take to hold space in this interesting time?  How can I be in a room full of crying infants and still teach a yoga class?
  
• Healing:  Learn about common postnatal discomforts (pelvic prolapses, diastasis recti, scar tissue, healing from surgical birth, hemmorhoids) and how yoga can help.  Learn specific asanas, and pranayama for the year after pregnancy.
  
• Help: Who are your allies on the path? (postnatal practitioners, knowing when to refer, what to do when a student needs more than you can offer)
• Humility: Learn to surrender your ideas of what a yoga class is 'supposed to be'   Learn to have fun and embrace the chaos of the first year of motherhood.
• Honor:  Learn to honor these new beings as concsious and present yogis in very small bodies.  Learn poses to interact with the babies, as well as infant massage.
