This training is a unique blend of “in-person” learning through Zoom and an extensive library of online videos and a handpicked selection of Prenatal Yoga Center’s Yoga | Birth | Babies podcasts with some of the world’s leading experts in pregnancy, yoga, birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum.

The live “in-person” weekends allow you to get personal attention, interact with a hand-picked group of students, and have individual questions answered. With the online self-guided video feature of the PYC Teacher Training, you no longer have to frantically take notes during a live lecture or discussion. You can stop, rewind, and review the material as much as you need to ensure you fully comprehend the information.

Over the 3 months span of the training, you will be able to learn at your own pace with access to the full online library. All four Teacher Training Modules contain exclusive videos with Deb and Caprice intricately teaching you the material as well as four-hour long prenatal yoga classes. You will also receive our full teaching manual which will correspond with the videos.

No other prenatal teacher training provides this level of diverse insight in their program. We have proudly been providing training to over 300 new prenatal yoga teacher for the past 14 years.

Childbirth Education and Advocacy

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]Now more than ever pregnant people are being robbed of their choices about their bodies. As a prenatal yoga teacher, you have the unique opportunity to empower pregnant people to make their own choices in childbirth.

“We need to empower birthing people to take an active role in their birth so they can emerge feeling heard, seen, understood and supported.”

~Deb Flashenberg, Lead Teacher Trainer & Founder of Prenatal Yoga Center

Did you know that 25 – 34 percent of women report that their births were traumatic? Studies show most people feel unsafe and fearful of the birthing care they receive. They also fear they receive routine (and perhaps unnecessary) interventions and feel unsupported the medical staff.

A massive part of the PYC Teacher Training is examining the current state of birth in our culture, including systemic racism in the hospital system. Teacher trainees learn how to present evidenced based information to students in a non-biased manner so students can make their own educated decisions regarding birth choices.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”4/12″][vc_single_image image=”26043″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=”” transition_delay=”0″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”19106″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=”” transition_delay=”0″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1550947751444{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Community

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]During our program, Teacher Trainees immerse themselves in the prenatal and postnatal community by participating in classes and workshops. They learn first hand about the fears and concerns of new and expectant parents and observe how all different pregnant bodies move through a yoga practice. No more “practicing with pretend bellies” or theorizing about the pregnant body and mind, PYC boasts a robust community of people in all stages of pregnancy and postpartum.

Teacher trainees observe the community building aspect of “circle time”, a time where the students introduce themselves, say how far along they are, and discuss any aches and pains they would like to address in class. Pregnancy and postpartum periods carry such enormous physical and emotional changes; and this bonding time creates a springboard for long lasting friendships among students and is a rich learning opportunity for teacher trainees.

The Asana Practice

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]In order for a teacher to truly understand a prenatal asana practice with working knowledge of which poses should be encouraged and which should be avoided, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the anatomical and physiological of the pregnant body. Our training program moves beyond a memorized list of poses and unpacks the “why” pregnant and postpartum bodies benefit from some poses more than others.

The use of asana in class is multifunctional in preparing the student’s mind and body for birth. On a physical level, we use asana to alleviate common pregnancy aches and pains as well as we look at how each pose can create balance in the pelvis, pelvic floor and pelvic ligaments. When the body is well aligned, the baby may be better positioned leading to a more functional, speedy birth.

From a mental and emotional standpoint, asana practice is an amazing tool to lean into safe discomfort and find coping skills. Labor, birth and parenthood has emotional and physical challenges. We build essential lifelong coping skills to deal with these struggles.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”4/12″][vc_single_image image=”26041″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=”” transition_delay=”0.0″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_single_image image=”33715″ img_size=”medium” qode_css_animation=”” transition_delay=”0.0″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”180″ padding_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1608415190616{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” z_index=”” el_class=”hide”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1560387904293{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]

More than just asana!

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]Modifying asana for pregnancy is just the tip of the iceberg for a prenatal yoga teacher training program. It is important to speak the same “language” as the expecting parent and through evidence-based research and deep self reflection be able to guide them properly while supporting them as they transition into a new phase of life.

As a teacher, it’s your job to create a warm community for the pregnant person that extend beyond pregnancy, and through the often bumpy road of new motherhood, to a place of vitality, strength and confidence.

What they are saying…

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_column_text]”I have been practicing/teaching yoga for years. I have also had 3 boys now and have experience with childbirth and carrying babies! I truly loved the prenatal teacher training at the prenatal yoga center because I learned so much more about the entire process of pregnancy and beyond and it really deepened my ability to teach prenatal clients and student.”

~Kristin McGee, Peloton Yoga Teacher

As a midwife I found this training to be comprehensive and informative with regard to the pregnant body, labor and birth. It was the perfect combination of intense didactic learning and yoga teacher training. I loved the on line component, the required reading, the comprehensive exam required to gain certification- the whole training. Deb & Caprice have created the most comprehensive, evidence-based, pelvic-sound, prenatal yoga teacher training out there. At completion I felt prepared to teach and confident that I could keep my pregnant students safe and prepare them for an active labor.

~Julie Rauschenplat, Midwife, yoga teacher and PYC Graduate

This is an incredibly comprehensive program delivered by experts in the field of prenatal yoga who are also birth doulas and childbirth educators. I could not recommend PYC more highly – thank you!

Here’s How It Breaks Down

Module One: Anatomy and Physiology and Birth Culture

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_column_text el_class=”zxz”]You will start to explore the in-depth changes to the anatomy and physiology of the pregnant body. We place a particular focus on the abdominal changes and pelvic floor changes and how they can affect pregnancy and postpartum.

This solid foundation of understanding of the anatomy and physiology takes the guesswork and fear out of deciphering which poses will enhance the practice and which can be troublesome for the pregnant and postpartum student.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_column_text el_class=”zxz”]Module One also includes examination and discussion of the current birth culture and systemic racism found in the medical system in the US.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_column_text el_class=”zxz”]This module also includes interviews with Lindsey Vestal, Leslie Howard, Isa Herrara, and selected TED Talks and birth documentaries.

We welcome pregnant students! However, if your due date falls before the final exam or if your current work or life leaves little time for extracurricular activities, we strongly urge you to take the training later, when you have more time to devote to the coursework.

All fees and schedules are subject to change without notice.
