About this course

Birthing the Mother is the foundation of all YogaBellies practices and the first I created, 15 years ago. I created this programme for women who want to really understand and embrace the journey of pregnancy and childbirth- either as a mum-to-be or as a teacher. The YogaBellies Birthing the Mother is an empowering yoga and lifestyle programme that will guide you step-by-step through the beautiful journey toward becoming a mother. This programme doesn’t just look at prenatal yoga on the yoga mat but at using a whole range of Yoga and Ayurvedic tools to increase mothers' energy levels; stamina; cognitive function and positive pregnancy and birth mindset. We will also dive into bonding with the unborn child; preparing holistically for birth; dealing with caregivers and also vital tools such as birth hypnosis and practices to alleviate pregnancy aches and pains.

You’re pregnant (or trying to become pregnant) and want to follow a yogic approach to pregnancy and birth
You’ve heard that yoga is fantastic for pregnancy and in helping with a comfortable birth and you want to learn how to adapt your yoga practice, meditation and self-care, and lifestyle for each phase of your pregnancy. You want to approach your pregnancy naturally and give you and your baby the best possible chance for optimal health throughout. You want to prepare for a comfortable birth, free from fear and anxiety and learn positions and practices for natural birthing. You want to learn to alleviate ailments such as morning sickness; SPD and sciatica and more through your yoga practice. You want to find out about what to expect for you and your baby, during pregnancy and birth, guided each step of the way by world-case experts in prenatal yoga and wellness. This is a guided deep-dive into living a yoga lifestyle throughout pregnancy and birth.

You're a Yoga Teacher or Wellness Professional Working with Pregnant Women
You work with pregnant women, either as a yoga teacher or wellness professional, and don't feel confident that you are fully able to advise them on pregnancy and birth. This training will take you through the physiology of pregnancy and birth as well as what mum and baby will be experiencing at every stage. We dive into the female reproductive system and the YogaBellies BAP's philosophy, that women must maintain the integrity of the Back, Abs and Pelvic Floor, for optimal wellness and how to do this. You will learn which yoga practices and postures should be avoided during pregnancy as well as those that will be beneficial for pregnancy-specific ailments such as PGP; Pre-eclampsia; Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and more. Explore the current holistic birthing practices, nutrition, and supplementary treatments that can aid your clients on their pregnancy and birthing journey with this 50-hour Yoga Alliance International qualification.

A love of all things yoga, birth and baby and a solid yoga practice

Birthing the Mother YTT (Yoga for Pregnancy & Birth)
50-Hr Yoga Alliance International Accredited Programme on adapting your yoga practice, on and off the mat, throughout pregnancy and for childbirth

I understand why women need yoga throughout life - and that it can benefit us as much in life as it can in class. I've practiced and I've taught women at every life stage - in fact, over 100,000 women in the UK alone, have come along to YogaBellies classes to balance their hormones; relieve stress; find their calm place for birth; chill with baby afterward and battle the symptoms of menopause.

Yoga is as important to women at 14 as it is 99, and over my 25 years of yoga practice, I have developed The YogaBellies Sadhana, to give women exactly what they need in a safe and therapeutic practice.

YogaBellies isn't just about pulling shapes: It's about loving yourself, on and off the yoga mat. Body positivity, Self-love, and Self-worth are all important elements of our practice and the EMPOWER™ journey.

Equally as important to me is empowering women to have a sustainable career as yoga teachers. The main thing that yoga teacher training lacks is someone who actually has the experience of creating a successful yoga business; I have this and I want to share it with as many teachers as possible!
