CE Workshop | Reclaim Your Center: Optimizing Yoga to Support Postnatal Yoga Students

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 · 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.
