About This Workshop

In the rush to return to pre-pregnancy levels of fitness, many postnatal yoga students jump back too quickly to exercises and movements that can prolong postpartum healing and recovery. This workshop will offer ways to develop confidence and learn practical skills to best support yoga students who recently gave birth. Learn potent deep core work that lays the foundation to stabilize and support yoga practice after pregnancy and childbirth.

As a yoga teacher, you will leave feeling empowered to support students who have recently given birth. As a yoga practitioner, you will leave with a toolkit of exercises to access your deep core.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • A timeline of different phases of postpartum healing and recovery support
  • Common postpartum injuries and discomforts your students may experience
  • Yoga postures that are contraindicated for your postpartum students
  • Deep core exercises that are supportive for your postpartum students as well as for your advanced yoga practice
  • When it's appropriate to refer a student to a medical professional

Disclaimer: The intention of this workshop is to support the postnatal student in their yoga practice only. For more information on Yoga Alliance’s Scope of Practice, visit here.
