NEW! Online Pregnancy Course on Jivamukti Yoga Digital

by Jivamukti Editorial Team |

We are so excited to announce that as of May 9, 2021, Jivamukti Yoga Digital will launch a Pregnancy Course to expand our digital offerings to include practices and knowledge for yogi mamas to be!

Price: $399*
*Special offers for JY Teachers and JY Digital Members to be sent via email!

 

The course offers modification clips for the most commonly taught āsana groups in a vinyasa based yoga class for pregnant practitioners that already had regular practice pre pregnancy and teachers who want to become more confident when it comes to working with pregnant students.
The course is geared toward instructing students and teachers how to modify a Jivamukti Yoga Open class safely for all stages of pregnancy. Introductions to the modification clips are covering general information about the specific group of āsanas and the following clip will give guidance on how to practice them safely.
The course will be summed up by a Jivamukti Yoga Open class that is modified for all stages of pregnancy, incorporating the modifications taught in the clips before as a blueprint for a possibility to put together a class with the previously taught modifications.
As an add on, there is a prenatal Yoga Class, taught by Rebecca Callahan that is also suitable for people who didn’t have a strong vinyasa based practice pre pregnancy.
