Why This Training?
Pregnancy... a time of amazing intensity, expansion and adjustment. Teaching Prenatal Yoga is so much more than just Do's and Don'ts. The Pregnant Person needs teachers who can confidently speak to their needs, provide a place of comfort and support as well as show them how to access an inner strength and wisdom. We as a culture are waking up to the importance of pre and postnatal health and this training will have you front and center in that conversation.
​
This is a training that honors a birthing persons many phases and stages throughout their life, especially the awesome rite of passage through pregnancy and birth. Our prenatal yoga teacher training fuses scientific knowledge of the pregnant body with safe practices of dynamic, meditative and nurturing movements as well as offering holistic approach with a spiritual thread for a layered learning experience.
ABOUT THE VIRTUAL PRENATAL YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

Students can expect to gain a deeper understanding of the prenatal body, how to develop classes that will speak to the needs of a prenatal student, as well as study up to date research and methods within the birth work field that will support students in becoming a teacher who can guide with confidence.

2025 Doula + Prenatal Yoga Teacher Dual Training
hosted by Beheld Trainings & Retreats
January 15-20, 2025
IN PERSON | LONGMONT, CO
Why Our Training is Unique
Training as both a birth doula and a prenatal yoga teacher will not only equip you with an incredible amount of knowledge to support pregnant and birthing mamas, but you'll also leave set up to build a successful business. One of the hardest parts of becoming a doula is finding consistent clients. As a prenatal yoga teacher, you will constantly be guiding and supporting the very crowd you want to be immersed in!
Additionally, many doula trainings do not address how to manage your life as a doula. We will dive deep into how to build your business and the body (your body) to hold it all. This includes managing an on-call schedule, nervous system support, daily practices, building community...all of the things that are typically only learned after years of practicing (or maybe not at all!)
