• Instructors who approach teaching with a mindset of pregnant, not broken.
• Teachers who cue with confidence, encourage students to trust their bodies, and manage a room of students at different stages of the pregnancy journey.
• Community builders who create space for students to connect before and after class.

Requirements:

• Minimum 200-hour yoga teacher training certificate
• Prenatal yoga teacher training certification (RPYT or equivalent, minimum 85 hours)
