Founder of Island Prenatal Yoga
Hi! I’m Lauren, the creator of Island Prenatal Yoga School! I created these courses to help yoga teachers and yoga practitioners be able to enjoy and safely teach pre- and postnatal students! I remember the first time I had a pregnant student in a group class and how scared I felt, and I never want you to feel that way! This course will teach you everything you need to know about teaching prenatal and postnatal students, whether you're doing it for your own personal knowledge, or maybe you're pregnant yourself, or you want to be able to reach more students — I'm here to help! Let me know if you have any additional questions about the courses!
