Hi! I’m Lauren, the creator of Island Prenatal Yoga School! I created these courses to help yoga teachers and yoga practitioners be able to enjoy and safely teach pre- and postnatal students! I remember the first time I had a pregnant student in a group class and how scared I felt, and I never want you to feel that way! This course will teach you everything you need to know about teaching prenatal and postnatal students — whether you're doing it for your own personal knowledge, or maybe you're pregnant yourself, or you want to be able to reach more students — I'm here to help! Let me know if you have any additional questions about the courses!
