This module is the first part of our yoga teacher training modules. This module will give an overview of yoga for yoga and non-yoga teachers alike in relation to the pre natal period.
Pregnancy is a time of great change for mothers. Not only are there physical changes taking place but hormonal and emotional ones as well. In addition, many women suffer from a variety of conditions during pregnancy and may not be aware that help can be sought through many alternative sources.
Yoga assists in helping mothers to accept changes that take place and take steps to help alleviate many problems that can occur. Perhaps more importantly, yoga helps a mother learn to relax. A skill that will be needed during pregnancy, labour and for many years to come!
This module includes:
Anatomy and physiology refresher Common complaints during pregnancy Helping to bond your group Yoga asanas suitable for each trimester Propping for pregnancy Relaxation and visualisations Class sequences Yoga as therapy for specific conditions Other alternative therapies or sources of help Part IV - Empowering birth through yoga
Yoga can make a huge difference with those looking for a more positive birth experience. Building a strong and flexible body allows a woman to feel more positive about her abilities to give birth. Allowing breath to flow and trusting in the instinctive nature of birth is great preparation in pregnancy.
Given the freedom to move, breath, make sound and express her wishes, a birthing mother will be more empowered to believe in her own innate abilities to give birth.
This module will look at the specific benefits of yoga for those wishing for as natural birth as possible, remaining active and mobile. It will teach you how to encourage a mother to believe in herself and trust her body.
This module includes:
The reality of birth Approaching the 6 weeks prior to birth Suggestions for pre-labour Mobility during the first and second phase of labour Noise and getting primal Teaching the importance of privacy Coping with pain Visualisations for the cervix and opening the pelvis Other tried and tested support measures Affirmations and meditation homework for your mothers Part V - Partner workshops teacher training
The support a woman gets during birth makes all the difference. During labour a women is often spaced out and feels vulnerable. Having effective support allows a woman to feel protected and nurtured. In reality, unless someone has been present at several births, being faced with supporting a birthing mother can be very daunting. Fathers especially feel vulnerable and like a fish out of water. How they react can have huge effects on the birth process.
This workshop will look in detail at a birthing woman's needs, how she behaves and how best to support her during this time. Learning to teach this workshop will benefit mothers who are looking to have a natural birth by empowering their partners to believe in them.
The great thing about yoga is that it builds on existing instincts, but you don’t want a labouring woman to think too much about techniques or positions during birth. You want her to space out and for her partner to take control. This workshop will teach you how to pass on that information. This module includes:Teaching anatomy and physiology The stages of labour and how to identify them Support measures for each stage of labour The importance of language The art of distraction Things for fathers to do to distract themselves Mobility The value of pain Teaching interventions Explaining how to deal with medical staff Using touch How to remain active if things don’t go according to plan The importance of the post natal period The reality of breast feeding and practical tips Part VI - Post natal yoga teacher training
The first year is very important in the bonding of mother and baby. Women get precious little time to sit and enjoy motherhood in relaxing surroundings! Postnatal yoga with babies is a great opportunity for mothers to spend time with their babies, enjoying their development and watching the changes unfold.
Furthermore, women can feel a sense of isolation after having a baby and meeting as a group with others can give a great sense of companionship. Mothers are also keep to try and regain their shape and bring back pelvic tone.
Carrying and feeding babies along with interrupted sleep can play havoc with a mothers wellbeing so taking the opportunity to address their needs in a post natal class can be of huge benefit.
