6 day pregnancy yoga teacher training in manchester
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. With contributions from midwives, and a detailed training manual, the course provides both the theoretical and practical training necessary to teach yoga classes specifically for pregnant women. Sessions will include mantra, mudra, nada yoga and pranavidya practices, encouraging you to think for yourself and to develop your own style and method of teaching pregnancy yoga within a clear framework of safety guidelines. This course also includes some time on the early stage of postnatal recovery.

The emphasis of the course is 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 on the Yoga Biomedical Trust/Yogacampus yoga therapy courses. 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.
Open to existing yoga teachers of any yoga tradition with an interest in teaching specialist pregnancy classes, and to trainee yoga teachers from any teacher training course, so long as they have some experience of teaching. Applications must be submitted to Yogacampus on the downloadable application form.
Students on the Yogacampus Teacher Training Diploma who attend the whole course 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 Yogacampus Teacher Training Diploma.
