For more than 10 years, Bloom has become well known in Perth's Northern Suburbs for our specialist pre + postnatal yoga classes.  

 

As a collective community of yoga practitioners and mothers, we look forward to sharing the depth of our knowledge and experience with other teachers looking to safely guide their own students in a starting or returning to a gentle, nurturing practice of yoga following the birth of their baby.  

 

Our comprehensive 30-hour Post-Natal Yoga Teacher Training explores research, theory and practical concepts of how to safely and confidently teach yoga to women in the post-natal period, as well as how to provide support through a community of new mothers.

Module 2: Reconnect + Nurture

When a baby is born, so too is the mother; this is a sacred time of transformation, learning and growth for both mother and child. During this time a woman’s body requires nurturing, love and rest as she learns to reconnect to her new self – both physically and emotionally.

Course Objectives:
• Overview of the female body following birth
• Explore yogic concepts as they pertain to motherhood
• Examine the concept of the ‘Fourth Trimester’
• Safely sequence classes for new mothers from 6 weeks after birth.
• Provide modifications in a class setting where necessary
• Learn specific postures to assist/alleviate common post-natal ailments for breast/bottle feeding, back and neck pain.
• Apply short, simple pranayama, meditation and relaxation techniques specific for the post-natal period
• Anatomy of the Pelvic Floor, including exercises and recovery
• The use of Sound and Meditation as a tool to soothe and settle babies.
• Learn gentle post-natal sequences and their purpose
• Explore the benefits and practice of restorative yoga for new mothers
• Examine post-natal depression and learn how yoga can be helpful

​

Our specialist training will not only incorporate our own unique method of delivery and sequencing but will also include the opportunity to observe post-natal classes to further their understanding and skills, in addition to further reading and course work.
