MODIFY & FLY
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 Pregnancy Yoga 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 modifications are covering general general information about the specific group of āsanas and the following clip will give guidance on how to practice them safely.
A Jivamukti Yoga Open Class is included, incorporating all modifications taught in the clips before as a blueprint for a possibility to put together a class with the previously taught modifications.
BONUS SESSION:
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.
