What to Expect in the Training:
Participants can expect a comprehensive and immersive learning experience that blends theory with practical skills. This course is designed to build on your existing doula knowledge, enhancing your ability to support pregnant individuals through yoga-based techniques.
In-Depth Knowledge of Prenatal Anatomy and Physiology: You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how the body changes throughout pregnancy and how those changes affect movement, posture, and overall well-being. By studying the physical and hormonal shifts at each stage of pregnancy, you’ll be better prepared to customize yoga techniques that address your clients’ specific needs.
Prenatal Yoga Techniques to Support Each Trimester: This course will introduce you to yoga postures, stretches, and movements tailored to each trimester. You’ll learn gentle asanas (postures) to ease common pregnancy discomforts like lower back pain, pelvic pressure, and fatigue. The focus will be on aligning these practices with the natural changes in the body to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Breathwork & Mindfulness Practices for Pregnancy & Labor: Breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques are essential tools for doulas, and in this training, you’ll learn how to teach pregnant individuals breathwork that helps reduce anxiety, manage stress, and enhance relaxation. You’ll also explore how mindful practices can assist in pain management during labor.
Yoga for Emotional and Mental Support: Prenatal yoga isn’t just about physical health—it also addresses the emotional and mental well-being of expectant parents. You’ll be introduced to strategies for guiding clients through emotional challenges, helping them feel more grounded, confident, and connected to their bodies and babies.
Hands-On Practice and Cultivating Techniques: This course is designed to be interactive, with opportunities for you to practice yoga postures, breathwork, and relaxation techniques in a group setting. You’ll also engage in role-playing scenarios to build confidence in leading clients through these practices during prenatal visits and birth support.
Creating Safe & Effective Yoga Routines For Clients: You will gain the skills to design tailored yoga sequences for your clients based on their trimester and specific needs. This includes understanding the right poses, sequencing, and pacing to ensure each session is both safe and effective. You will also learn how to adjust your practices based on your clients’ comfort levels and any pregnancy-related complications.
Tools for Integrating Yoga into Doula Practice: You’ll learn how to incorporate prenatal yoga into your doula toolkit. This includes creating yoga-based birth plans, offering in-the-moment guidance during labor, and using yoga and breathwork to assist clients through different stages of pregnancy and birth.
Using Yoga to Empower Birth Choices Yoga not only enhances physical comfort, but it also empowers individuals to connect deeply with their bodies, making informed choices about their birth experience. You will learn how to guide clients in creating birth plans/preferences informed by yoga, which incorporate elements of breath, movement, and mental focus to promote a calm, confident, and supported birthing experience.
Collaborative Learning and Peer Support: Throughout the course, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded doulas, caregivers, and yoga practitioners creating a supportive community where you can share insights, ask questions, and collaborate on real-life scenarios. This peer interaction will enrich your learning experience and deepen your understanding of how yoga can be a powerful addition to your doula practice.
