Create and Deliver a Transformational 6 week yoga series

When COVID hit I was forced to begin teaching online (although I had sworn that I never would- I was an "in person" type of gal!). And I learned that I kinda liked it.
Over 2 years I had the chance to be playful. To try different models, and I learned how to create a strong sense of community online, at the same time as getting my students results (and making A LOT more money while doing so).
If I did this, you can too (promise)! Here are some important things to think about when planning your own transformational 6 week yoga series.

Yoga Teacher Training Testimonials

  • I first signed up for this training to feel more comfortable when pregnant people would show up in my regular yoga classes. I left this training with a new-found passion for prenatal yoga, all thanks to Lauren and the amazing tools she offered! I enjoyed how balanced the whole weekend was - between theory, chanting, teaching practice and mediation, I truly did not see the time go by. I never felt overwhelmed by the material, which was shared in a very logical and organized way. Thanks to Lauren, I now feel empowered and knowledgeable enough to teach pregnant people, not only as a one-off in my regular yoga classes, but in prenatal yoga classes. I absolutely recommend Lauren's prenatal training for the education I received and the very comprehensive manual she provides, plus for the space she held for us! I got to experience deep relaxation moments through yoga nidra and lead meditations/ visualizations, which felt amazing and made me feel like I was on a weekend retreat!

  • La formation avec Lauren a été un beau cadeau que je me suis offert, autant en tant que professeure de yoga qu’en tant que maman enceinte de mon premier enfant. Lauren nous a accueilli à bras ouverts en étant généreuse de ses conseils, de ses histoires, de ses trucs et de son écoute. Elle a fait évoluer le weekend en fonction des besoins des élèves et de ce qu’ils voulaient approfondir. Lauren étant consciente qu’on apprend constamment, elle encourageait tout le monde à partager ses expériences pour enrichir les discussions. Je sors de ce weekend de formation avec une meilleure compréhension de ce qu’il se passe dans le corps et la tête de la femme enceinte et avec une plus grande confiance de pouvoir accompagner adéquatement les femmes qui vont vivre cette aventure. Nous avons même pu observer Lauren en action alors qu’elle a offert un cours à de futures mamans devant nous! Je comprends davantage les étapes de transformations physiques et psychologiques d’une femme enceinte et j’ai de meilleures idées sur comment aborder ces changements et créer un terrain d’exploration sécurisant pour une maman qui voudrait s’adonner au yoga prénatal. Lauren m’a outillé et a stimulé ma créativité et mon envie de poursuivre mon exploration. Cette prof et femme géniale était exactement ce dont j’avais besoin dans mon cheminement de prof et de future maman. Un cadeau à s’offrir pour connecter avec la femme en soi et approfondir sa connexion avec les femmes autour de soi.
