You're teaching yoga to others, and have had pregnant or postnatal students attend your classes or approach you as a teacher to help them find or continue a yoga practice throughout this important change in their life.
Do you want to understand more about how you can offer safe and supportive teachings for your pregnant and postnatal students? Come learn the basics of how to better offer modifications and care for these students.
Over the weekend we will explore the physical, mental and emotional changes that can occur throughout pregnancy and the postnatal period. How yoga can be of benefit during this sacred time of pregnancy, birth and postnatal. Learn how to modify for these students based on this information.
We will learn through discussion as well as with a yoga practice each day exploring prenatal on Saturday and postnatal on Sunday.
Rachel brings her personal experience and passion for prenatal and postnatal care and yoga teaching together with her current real life experience of pregnancy, to deliver useful tips for ensuring your teaching is relevant to your prenatal and postnatal students.

Would you like to deepen your yoga practice by connecting to the legends and mythical stories which influence our timeless asanas?
Asana is so much more than a physical practice. Not only does it provide an opportunity to connect with your body and breath, but in the legends behind them, sit stories through which we can transform.
Over a 6 week period, on Monday evenings, we will journey through the ancient stories of gods, goddesses and sacred animals, to discover the legends at the heart of some of our asanas.
On each evening, we will deepen and enrich our experience with a 1.5 hour class based on a particular legend.
You can come along to all the sessions or you are also welcome to attend as many as you wish.
Week 1 Remain focussed with Sita – Vkrsasana (Tree Pose)
Week 2 The strength to act with integrity and compassion - Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose)
Week 3 Embracing the need for balance with Ganesh and the Moon – Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose)

Jen provides a safe and supportive environment for students to explore their relationship with yoga their practice, try new things, heal and grow.

Interested in deepening your practice or teaching of Yin?
Better connect to the theories of Yin stemming from Chinese Meridian theory and learn how to apply this in your Yin practice and teachings.
Over the weekend we will dive into the history of Yin, Meridian Theory, how a Yin practice differs from the more Yang yoga practices, how the organs link with meridian lines, how to work deeper into the tissues of the body through yin
practice, and the techniques of a yin class.
We will explore through discussion around theory as well as in practice ending each day with a yin asana practice to solidify and embody what we have learnt.
Rachel brings her practical experience of exploring Yin in her own yoga practice, as well as her learnings from teaching Seasonal Yin classes.
Since completing her 300hr training in Seasonal Hatha, and diving deeper into yin yoga and Chinese meridian theory, Rachel has developed a passion for working deeper into the body.
