If you are a 200-hour yoga teacher who wants to be able to create safe, healthy and effective prenatal and postnatal yoga classes, or modify your current yoga classes to be accessible for expecting parents,
this training is for you!
Join us on weekends in August
You remember the moment you fell in love with teaching yoga — that sense of connection, of holding space for growth and transformation. Now, you're ready to deepen that purpose. You're ready to support students not just on the mat, but through one of the most powerful transitions of their lives: pregnancy..
Whether you've had students ask for modifications during pregnancy or you’ve felt a pull to work more intentionally with this population, our Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training will give you the confidence, knowledge, and heart-centered skills to truly show up for expecting parents.
This isn’t just a certification. It’s an invitation to:
-
Learn how to create safe, nurturing, and empowering classes for all stages of pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
-
Discover how to integrate prenatal modifications into your current classes to better support your community.
-
Gain a deeper understanding of pregnancy anatomy, common discomforts, emotional shifts, and how yoga can holistically support the journey into parenthood.
-
Feel confident and clear in your ability to offer inclusive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based practices.
-
By the end of this immersive training, you’ll walk away with a profound ability to meet your students where they are — and help them feel seen, strong, and supported.
Because yoga isn’t just about shapes — it’s about showing up for life.
This immersive learning experience will give you the information and resources necessary to lead effective prenatal yoga classes, and enhance your knowledge and skills as a teacher. Upon completion of this training and your assignments, you will receive your Certificate of Completion for our Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training, which is registrable with the International Yoga Alliance for continuing education credits.

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE SARA ROSSI
When chronic stress became debilitating, filmmaker Sara Rossi knew that something had to change. For 15 years she worked on locations around the world, and as a result of this demanding schedule, she began to struggle with anxiety, sleep and eating disorders, substance abuse, weight management and body image.
In 1997 Sara discovered yoga and began to heal from the inside out. She embarked on a life of mindful clean living, and developed her yoga practice. In time, she completed a 200-hour Hatha yoga certification.
Inspired by the significant changes in her life, in 2004, Sara traveled to Nasik, India to the Yoga Vidya Dham School and Ashram and became a certified Yoga Therapist. With each new certification, Sara committed to deepening her practice in order to share her knowledge with women in need of health coaching of all kinds. Her next step was to travel to Seattle, WA, where she studied with Colette Crawford at the Seattle Holistic Center, and earned her Pre-Post Natal Yoga certification.
In 2013 she graduated as a Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, this training became the cornerstone of Sara’s current, and proudest focus: helping women struggling with stress, weight management, lack of energy and expecting and new mothers commit to the evolution of their own health: for themselves, and for their children and families.
Sara has been an avid yoga teacher and practitioner for over 15 years and has received her 500-hour Therapeutic Yoga certification with Integrative Yoga Therapy. In addition, she is an Infant Massage Teacher, a HypnoBirthing®, HypnoMothering ™, HypnoFertility ™ practitioner, and she offers classes for expectant and new moms as a way to gently transition into motherhood.
During this journey that has enriched her life in so many ways, Sara has become a mother herself and now lives in the US with her husband, Jeff, and daughter, Emma. Born in Italy and raised in Costa Rica, Sara travels widely with her family and offers retreats, spa
consultations and personalized online one on one and group programs.
She is tri-lingual — English, Italian & Spanish — and uses all these languages on a daily basis for work, life, love and sharing. In addition to extensive travelling, she has lived in four different countries for an extended period of time and she operates from a multicultural & multilingual background and perspective. She is committed to supporting others to not only heal their body, mind, spirit and heart, but also is committed to supporting them in
living the life they dream of living, and being the most powerful version of themselves, accessing optimal vitality to uncover their true healing intelligence.
