The Yoga of Pregnancy: an Online Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training

Why I believe prenatal yoga teacher training is for everyone

There’s a lot of fear around pregnancy exercise. It was only in 2002 that the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology (ACOG) said it was ok for pregnant women to exercise daily!

If you feel a bit nervous when you have a pregnant woman in your class, you might be part of the problem, rather than part of the solution: educating and empowering moms-to-be to experience their fullest potential.

This 18-hour prenatal yoga teacher training is more than adjustments for pregnancy.

The Yoga of Pregnancy is an alignment-based prenatal yoga teacher training that will give you clear, repeatable principles as well as practices so you can confidently:

I took this training to get more knowledge about appropriate poses for pregnant women. I got a lot more… the Ma Yoga principles are golden and I can use this knowledge for every type of yoga class and even apply them to my own personal life.

I feel blessed to have been given this gift. Thank you Jess!

I highly recommend Jessica’s prenatal training weekend. Her expertise and professionalism, combined with her compassion and experience, makes for an incredible learning experience for teachers, but also for pregnant women with advanced yoga practices.

Truly, you are a gift. Your insight, knowledge, wisdom and pure love for the work flows through in a tremendously positive way.

It was a wonderful weekend and I feel I have learned so much that I can take out into the world with me and share.

Wendy O.

There are few other times in my life when I have felt so alive and inspired as I did during those three days. I cried many times in that class, tears of pure joy and wonder. I have known for a long time that yoga is my path, but it wasn’t until this prenatal training that I realized that prenatal yoga is my path within my path 😉

Jessica reached out to every one of us with compassion and warmth, and we learned so much.

We were in excellent hands with her!

Sarah T.

I really enjoyed the prenatal yoga workshop. It was very practical and spiritual at the same time.

I loved that it touched on the fundamentals of alignment and how to intertwine with theming.

Sara M.

The Yoga of Pregnancy deepened my teaching techniques. I learned about bringing space, earth, water, fire, and air in the body, mind, and heart.

Based on this I can teach easily. It’s fun!

This training felt like it went above and beyond. There is way more to prenatal yoga than just the do’s and don’ts.

Jessica is an amazing instructor that has put a lot of thought and care into the program.

Amber T.

I taught my first prenatal workshop and I wasn’t nervous at all.

I told my husband I felt sooo prepared! It went really well and I loved it.

Amber T

The Yoga of Pregnancy is a wonderful course that you will benefit from it whether you are pregnant or not. I strongly recommend it.

If you have any questions regarding the poses or what it is being taught in the course the instructor really dives in so you can get a better understanding of it.
