The Practice of Yoga during Pregnancy and Other Stages of the Female Life Cycles Enhances a Woman's Overall Wellness

What is offered with EMPOWER ™ Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training?

• Hormone Balancing and Stress-Reducing Techniques during Pregnancy

The relaxation techniques taught are specific to pregnant women who do suffer from hormonal imbalances and fluctuations. Each stage of pregnancy is different and the differences do affect all women in different ways. Each hormonal problematic dysfunction (such as mood swings and exhaustion) can be addressed specifically by using YogaBellies practices. Whether using these techniques as a yoga instructor, midwife, and even doula, seeking to assist women in overcoming hormonal fluctuations will be effective using these proven practices. The instructors of the EMPOWER ™ teacher training course focus on teaching each student how to present their knowledge of overall wellness and health during pregnancy as part of the overall yoga teacher training.

• Cycle Aligning in Every Stage of a Woman’s Life

Each stage of a woman’s life is very different. From menstrual cycle issues to fertility, to post-partum discomforts and changes in mood to pregnancy aches and ailments. As part of YogaBellies EMPOWER™ programme, YogaBellies practices bring enhanced physical and mental awareness and well-being for all women. The curriculum of training taught even includes the issues that women can face with regard to hormonal fluctuations. For example, during menopause, estrogen decreases, then while during pregnancy it increases. Understanding our hormones and how yoga can help balance them is a core part of EMPOWER yoga teacher training. Being able to assist women correctly with the right yoga postures and practices is imperative to instructors everywhere, no matter what stage of life a woman is at. The wrong type of yoga can be detrimental and even dangerous for a woman during pregnancy. Pregnancy yoga teacher training, however, is essential when working with women who are pregnant, and pregnancy itself has its cycles and trimesters as well, which need to be understood fully in order to work safely with women during pregnancy.

The EMPOWER modules and courses offered, take students on a deeply personal journey, further into the world of yoga than ever before.

YogaBellies® Teaches Empowerment in your Personal and Business Life for Women of All Ages and life stages

Although the YogaBellies EMPOWER™ Pregnancy Teacher Training Course is specifically geared towards yoga teachers who want to teach pregnant women, anyone working with women can benefit. Understanding the impact and significance of pregnancy and childbirth - or lack of it - on a woman's life, can be a key component to helping female clients find inner harmony throughout life. It's also vital to understand the physical and hormonal impact of pregnancy and postpartum when working with women. Even if you don't intend to work specifically with pregnant women, this information is vital in understanding the psyche of females at every life stage and how the right yoga does make a difference to the lives of the women who attend their classes and use their services.
