The early postpartum period is a crucial and powerful time for a person's recovery, well-being, and vitality — yet emphasis is often placed on the process of labor and delivery, while little attention is given to the postpartum stage.
In this training we will address aspects of the physical and emotional recovery and recuperation from childbirth. We will focus on personal care, adjustments, and restrengthening.
Learn tools you can use with people in the early weeks and months postpartum to support their healing and prevent injury. Develop the skills to guide your students through a gentle and safe asana practice, as well as tap into the power of deep relaxation, pranayama, and meditation.
We will gather knowledge from Therapeutic Yoga and include practical exercises and age-old techniques to assist the postpartum person in recovering their core strength, rehabilitating and toning those areas the most directly affected by pregnancy and childbirth: the pelvic floor and abdomen.
Explore ways to help postpartum people transition smoothly from their prenatal practice into the postpartum phase, and discuss how to integrate those methods into a person's daily life and practice with a young child (or children).
