TIANACAT IS a NOW Prenatal Yoga INSTRUCTOR!
In July last year I signed up for a scholarship for Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training with Lily Dwyer Begg Yoga, right after I completed my 200 hr teacher training with Corepower Yoga. I found the training through a Facebook ad on Instagram and signed up for it immediately. My goal was to simply add more yoga teacher training to my experience and add more tools to my doula toolbelt. I signed up for the scholarship and forgot about it. Months later I was emailed that I was awarded the scholarship and I was blown away. I went into it excited, thinking I was just gonna learn about simple modifications for the pregnant body and stuff like that. Little did I know that I would be immersed in a spiritual experience that would transform my life.
This training was everything I didn’t know I needed. I was able to reflect on my own pregnancy and birth story and heal the parts of myself and my story that needed a little bit more love, attention, and care.
With Lily’s guidance, I have also leveled up in my spiritual life, I feel more connected to the spiritual nature of my yoga practice. I now meditate more, which has been a game changer, completely shifting my inner world. It was very affirming for me to be able to connect with a yoga teacher that really has a reverence for the spiritual side of yoga, upholding the integrity of the linage of such a sacred practice. Too often yoga is treated as solely a physical practice, with a few “om’s” here and some namaste’s there. Without the spiritual reverence of yoga, the practice can easily leave you feeling as empty as you came. Lily’s understanding of the sacred experience of motherhood and pregnancy was sattvic and juicy, truly satisfying. This course felt like a combination of doula and yoga training because it was full of information on the pregnant body, what happens spiritually and physically to the mother during pregnancy and birth, and even how to rehabilitate after pregnancy. I love how Lily was unafraid to dive deep into the truthful, transformational experience that pregnancy, birth, and motherhood is, and really hold us accountable for being that for the moms we decide to teach in the future.
If you’re looking to get certified in Prenatal Yoga, I suggest taking Lily’s training here. I would even suggest this for mothers who don’t even have any interest in teaching yoga because the transformation is so real.
I am so thankful for my experience and I’m excited to share this gift with mothers and their families.
As my graduation gift for stepping into this work, I am currently offering virtual prenatal one on one classes for $25 that you can sign up for here.
