Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training & Certification for Conscious Birthing

2012 Schedule

The Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training & Certification for Conscious birthing is a course that Janice teaches internationally.

The training is:	FOR: Yoga teachers and teachers in training
	AND: Professionals who work with pregnant women (childbirth educators, chiropractors, doctors, doulas, massage/shiatsu therapists, midwives, nurses) who have an established yoga practice
	AND: Pregnant women (if do not fit into one of the above categories, not eligible for a teaching certificate)

Expect to complete this comprehensive training and have the knowledge, understanding and techniques to support pregnant women to birth as consciously, naturally, actively and normally as possible.

“Thank you for presenting a great balance of technical and intuitive information. You presented a great spirit of sacredness and openness with a calm and supportive atmosphere.”

Brenda Strong

“The Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training was excellent. The techniques Janice shared, the spirituality, the language, the guided imagery, the ability to hold the space for each person in the group, to hold boundaries, the honesty and purity - were all meaningful and powerful for me. Janice's sensitive, compassionate, lighthearted but profound way of teaching has increased my ability to go deeper inside and to love, appreciate and accept myself and others. Excellent manual.”

Edith Jason

“The training was so inspirational. You are an awesome teacher and the information I received was tremendous. I no longer feel fearful to work with pregnant women.”
