Whole Birth® Instructors provide a warm and open environment for women to support one another and to inquire together as to what it means to be bringing life into the world. Yoga in it's truest meaning of connection is explored in the training. There will be equal time given to the non-asana aspects of teaching the Whole Birth Yoga and Support Classes. This includes facilitating discussions that deepen women's connection to thier bodies, hearts, families and each other.

There is currently a growing demand for prenatal yoga classes taught by qualified instructors. As yoga has entered the mainstream of healthy activities, pregnant women, both in the United States and internationally are finding that yoga is a perfect match for their perinatal fitness needs. Yoga enhances flexibility, strength, and balance without overexertion. With it's emphasis on relaxation and body and breath awareness it dovetails nicely into childbirth preparation as well.

The Whole Birth® Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training course is 40 hours in length and includes a balance of experiential and didactic learning. Topics will include:

The Body/Mind Dynamics of the Childbearing Year
Anatomy and Physiology for Prenatal Yoga
Teaching pain management yoga skills for labor
Group Facilitation Skills
Themes for Group Inquiry
Teaching from the Heart
Teaching from the Body
Teaching in the Moment - Mindfulness-Based Education
Yoga Postures for Pregnancy, Birth and Postpartum
Poses to avoid & poses to suggest for specific symptoms
There will be time each day to observe Robin teaching a demonstration class to pregnant women and for participants to practice giving instruction.

Doulas, Labor and Delivery Nurses, Childbirth Educators, and Midwives can empower their patients/clients with new and effective tools for coping with labor and skillful ways to enhance their comfort in pregnancy. Whole Birth® Prenatal Yoga Classes also create and strengthen a needed sense of community and friendship among the participants and a forum for discussing issues pertinent to pregnancy, birth and family making. This training will also provide a rich understanding of the body/mind dynamics of the childbearing year and how to encourage a woman's trust in her own resources for birth and mothering.
