Open to all yoga teachers and trainee teachers from any background.
Students on The Life Centre Yoga Teacher Training Programme who attend all six days may count this as one of their approved intensives. However, as the course requires some teaching experience, it may not be taken either as a first intensive or within six months of starting on The Life Centre Teacher Training Programme.
For yoga teachers and trainee teachers who wish to teach specialist yoga for pregnancy classes, this 6 day course offers a unique synthesis of many less widely taught aspects of yoga for pregnancy, and enables teachers to meet the needs of pregnant students who come to pregnancy with an existing yoga practice, as well as those who are new to yoga.
Sessions will include mantra, mudra, nada yoga and pranavidya practices. With contributions from midwives, it will provide both the theoretical and practical training necessary to teach yoga classes specifically for pregnant women.
The emphasis of the course will be on supporting healthy pregnancy through appropriate holistic yoga practices. There will be opportunities for teaching practice, as well as informal assessments during the course and you should be prepared for both a short pre-course assignment and written work after each session.
Uma Dinsmore-Tuli was first introduced to yoga at the age of four, and has been teaching yoga and meditation since 1986. Together with her husband, Nirlipta, she founded Sitaram Partnership in 1998 to provide an authentic experience of appropriate yoga practice for the whole family - from unborn children, to their parents, siblings and grandparents. Uma has a PhD in Communications from London University, a diploma in Yoga Therapy from the Yoga Biomedical Trust and is a recognised teacher of the British Wheel of Yoga. She also teaches the British Wheel of Yoga Module in Pregnancy Yoga, and designed the British Wheel Module in Postnatal Yoga and is a training tutor for the Yoga Biomedical Trust, and the Birthlight Trust for whom she trains and assesses perinatal yoga teachers and baby yoga teachers on courses and apprenticeships. Uma has produced several pregnancy and family yoga CDs and, most recently, the widely acclaimed book Mother's Breath, a definitive guide to yoga breathing, sound and awareness practices during pregnancy, birth and postnatal recovery.
