Blooma Yoga

Blooma’s Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training is all about finding the goddess within, as you learn to support expecting students through all four trimesters of pregnancy, including the postpartum period. You will be trained in a yoga sequence that is specifically designed to empower and prepare students for birth. You will develop the tools you need to create your own fun, safe, and strengthening sequences.

Blooma is a registered Prenatal Yoga School with the Yoga Alliance. This 85-Hour Training is open to aspiring or experienced yoga teachers, doulas, midwives, OBs, labor and delivery nurses, and those expecting. Teachers with a current RYT200 designation with Yoga Alliance may register as a RPYT upon completion of this training. Blooma provides a unique experience with our focus on all trimesters and postpartum during this comprehensive internationally renowned training. Our training is a one-of-a-kind experience and has changed the lives of thousands. You will leave our training prepared to lead a beautiful prenatal practice that builds a birthing person's confidence, strength, connects them to their baby, and uplifts their mind, body, and spirit.

First Weekend

Blooma’s Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training draws from a rich history of birthing wisdom, and will take you through a journey as you explore your own beliefs surrounding birth.

Our training provides an abundance of information about labor, birth, and why yoga is beneficial for all stages of pregnancy. We explore a sequence that honors all trimesters and encourages empowerment and strength that is necessary for pregnancy and birth. During Blooma’s training, you will learn far more than how to teach modifications for pregnancy. You will gain comprehensive knowledge of anatomy during and after pregnancy, and will be introduced to wellness and childbirth education philosophies that can support birthing students. You will also examine the emotional and physical challenges a person may face during labor and childbirth, and how as a prenatal yoga instructor, you can help prepare them for that experience. The weekend is full of connection, movement, guest speakers and fun! You not only discover how to be an advocate for yoga and birth, but what birth really means to you in this day and age.

Second Weekend

During our second weekend together, we will dive deeper into prenatal yoga, the postpartum period, and your development as a teacher. We will look at the connections of pain and fear, and how they affect birth. You will learn how to hold space and ask the “right” questions to explore what many pregnant people hold deep in their hearts and bring into their labors. Guest speakers from our birth community will share their knowledge about the 4th trimester; you will gain insight about the mind/body connection during the postpartum period, and discover what poses, rest, nutrition, and support are needed after birth. You will create your own sequence, spend time practice teaching, and will be introduced to a sequence that your postpartum students can practice with their new babies to encourage bonding. Our training is led with the intention that every student will identify their strengths, develop confidence, and find their own voice to use when teaching yoga to prenatal and postpartum students.
