Blooma’s Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training draws from a rich history of birthing wisdom, and will take you on a journey as you explore your own beliefs and experiences around birth.
Our training provides an abundance of information about labor, birth, and why yoga is beneficial for this specific stage of life. We explore a yoga sequence that is tailored to 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 your students.
You will also examine the emotional and physical challenges during labor and childbirth, and how as a prenatal yoga instructor, you can help prepare your students 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.

Course Requirements:
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 expecting students hold deep in their hearts and bring into their labors.
Guest speakers from our birth community will share their knowledge about the fourth trimester; you will gain insight about the mind/body connection of the postnatal student, and discover what poses, rest, nutrition, and support are needed after birth. You will create your own sequence, spend time practicing teaching, and will be introduced to a sequence safe for new parents attending with their 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 mamas.

Yes. Blooma’s mission has always been and remains the empowerment of all people; in 2007, we started our work in the Twin Cities to support and uplift all types of families and all types of birth choices. We acknowledge the beautiful diversity in the Twin Cities; we also acknowledge the gaps in accessibility to healthcare & wellness services that lead to health disparities that affect people of color.
We’re deeply committed to the work of closing those gaps. In order to expand accessibility to prenatal yoga, scholarships are available for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, military and veterans and people needing financial assistance. This is an opportunity for anyone who has a passion and a plan to bring prenatal yoga to their communities.
