...Just to scratch the surface of the iceberg, here are a few ideas to consider. prenatal Yoga is a specialists field. Just because you briefly covered it in a level 1 Yoga teacher training, does not mean you should enter this field without a specialist education and certification in prenatal Yoga.

Each trimester is handled differently. The first trimester can be as dangerous as the third trimester, if a student is not receiving specialized prenatal Yoga instruction. The last trimester is similar to Chair Yoga, but that does not qualify a Chair Yoga instructor to work with pregnant students.

Additionally, if you are starting out then it is advisable to find a study course that also incl...more
