Training Overview
Santosha’s Pre + Postnatal & Children’s + Teens’ Yoga Teacher Training Intensives allow yogis to share their knowledge with all ages. In our 2-day intensive, you’ll learn the skills to support and empower children, new mothers and pregnant women. Santosha’s Pre + Postnatal & Children’s + Teens’ Yoga Teacher Training Certification is accredited to provide registered teachers with 30 continuing education hours with Yoga Alliance, including 10 contact hours.
The Santosha Prenatal, Postnatal, Children’s and Teens’ Yoga Intensive is an inspiring course that will provide you with the skills and knowledge to share the benefits of yoga with new and expectant mothers, children and teens. The course is suitable for anyone interested in enriching their understanding of the applications of yoga in these areas, whether your goal is to practice as a specialist yoga teacher, apply the knowledge to your work in a range of fields, or simply to deepen and evolve your own yoga and life experience. Santosha’s pre and postnatal course modules are formulated to provide students with the knowledge, confidence and holistic understanding of appropriate asanas and practices for safely teaching pregnant women during and after pregnancy.
Prenatal Yoga classes provide an opportunity for expectant mothers to develop greater vitality and awareness of their blooming body that is home for two, as well as to deepen their relationship with their unborn baby. Gentle postures, breath work, vocal toning and meditation are taught to cultivate flexibility, calmness and confidence in preparation for labor and childbirth. Women are assisted to access greater relaxation, comfort and enjoyment. Calmness and flexibility ease the birthing process, thus reducing pain and increasing the joy of giving birth. With prenatal yoga, women prepare for as active, enjoyable and natural a birthing experience as possible. The course provides practitioners with the skills to empower mothers and enrich their experience during this transformational time in their lives.
The children and teen yoga modules offer a comprehensive experiential-based training that will give you the building blocks to specialize in teaching children’s or teens’ yoga as a career. This is fundamentally one of the most important and vital areas of yoga teaching, because teaching our children and youth will help to create a profound change in our world. Planting the seeds of peace in our children will allow them to experience the benefits of yoga, share them and practice them throughout their lives! Teaching our teenagers yoga can provide them with beneficial lifelong tools to help them cope with daily stresses, navigate exams and deal gracefully with the increasing pressures placed upon them as they transition into adulthood. By sharing the magic of yoga with the children and youth of today we are helping to create a better world tomorrow, one child at a time.
During this intensive course, you’ll have the opportunity to role play as children in a children’s yoga class, to experience it from a child’s perspective. You’ll also learn how to plan and sequence classes for young children’s drifting attention spans, as well as how to adapt poses to different age groups of children.
