This training is great for yoga instructors and birth professionals including doulas, midwives, nurses, chiropractors, and therapists. Participants will leave prepared to confidently support pregnant people looking to modify their yoga practice or lead a prenatal yoga practice that builds a pregnant person’s confidence and strength, connection to baby, and uplifts the mind, body, and spirit.

The next training is scheduled to take place Friday, October 6 - Sunday, October 8, 2023 at All Life is Yoga in the Inman Park neighborhood of Atlanta, GA.

Tentative Training Schedule:
- Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
- Saturday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
- Sunday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Training Address:

All Life is Yoga
27 Wadell St. NE, Suite D
Atlanta, GA 30303

Following training weekend, you are required to participate in an additional 8 hrs of observation/yoga classes using Cherished Life’s Online Yoga & Wellness Prenatal Yoga video library. This portion of the training is self-paced. You will be given 30 days to complete it.

COVID guidelines change frequently, which may mean some of these guidelines will be out-dated by the time training begins. In the meantime, everyone is asked to adhere to best practices for the safety of all participants based on guidance from leading health organizations:

Participants are required to bring their own yoga mats. Studio props will be available for use, and participants will keep the same props throughout the weekend. Strict cleaning protocols for props will be used at the end of each training day. I recommend bringing props if you feel more comfortable with that option.

While social-distancing mandates have ended, this training will honor a minimum of a 3-foot distance between mats during class.

This training is designed to be an intimate, in-depth experience. To better support connection and individualized attention, this training is limited to a maximum of 10 students.

A 200-hour yoga teacher training certification is ideal but not required. At minimum, you should have some yoga experience prior to the start of this training; you cannot teach what you do not practice yourself. If you do not currently hold a 200-hour yoga teacher certification, the hope is that this training will inspire you to do so and further your yoga studies upon completion.

REQUIRED TEXT:

Cherished Life Holistic Prenatal Yoga Teacher Manual and Yoga Mama, Yoga Baby by Margo Shapiro Bachman. You will be required to read and write a review on Yoga Mama, Yoga Baby. Due (1) month after training ends.

PRACTICUM HOURS: 

Approximately 8 hours of class participation/observation via Cherished Life's Online Yoga & Wellness Prenatal Yoga video library. Due (1) month after training ends. You will be issued a class pass after training weekend. 

APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM: Once all certification requirements are completed, there will be an opportunity to apply for Cherished Life's Prenatal Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship Program.
