Why Become a Certified Postnatal Yoga Teacher?

Prenatal and postnatal yoga can play an important role in supporting mothers before and after birth.

Love the teachings Posted 11 months ago

I did Prenatal and Postnatal Course with Lucia and I love how detailed and with lots of attention she explains each posture, introduces the flows, points out what and where we could support the moms and also where we have to be extra careful on what to avoid. You can tell she has a lot of experience and she shares her knowledge with kindness and care. Thank you.

Easy but powerful learning of postnatal yoga practices Posted 1 year ago

My expectations were fully met. Trainer Lucia provided valuable insights into postnatal yoga practices, drawing on her knowledge and experience. The videos and audios were clear, as well as the manual (I have only encountered a few typos in the Italian version of the manual). I would have appreciated having at least one of the assignments corrected by the trainer, instead of being self-practice.

The course was very well structured and easy to follow. After completing the Prenatal course with Lucile a few years ago and having worked with a few mums, I then decided to expand my knowledge and offer after pregnancy yoga to mums and this course was everything I hoped it would be. Great explanations and videos so thank you. I have learnt so much and excited to put everything into practice.

A perfect learning experience Posted 3 years ago

I first did the prenatal YTT followed by the postnatal YTT, both as online course. I really liked the structure of the trainings, very logical and easy to follow. It was nice, to always see the progress, which I made. And it was helpful to know, that I can always reach out to the teacher if I have any questions or doubts. The tips and self-study assignments were helpful as well. Can only recommend

Wisdom and passion all in one Posted 3 years ago

Lucia is both, absolutely professional and warm-hearted in her way of teaching.
I was sceptical at first if it is possible to transport the yogic spirit online but after a few lessons I was absolutely convinced. Lucia shares so much information, knowledge and love for Yoga during the classes so it felt like she was with me, not just on screen in the video. Thank you for your way of teaching

Postnatale cursus van Lucia Posted 4 years ago

Korte maar waardevolle cursus van Arhanta. Na het volgen van de Prenatale cursus, deze cursus gevolgd. Het is een mooie aanvulling en ook belangrijk. Hier leer je welke houdingen aanbevolen zijn na de bevalling, maar ook wat niet te doen. Ik heb hier veel van geleerd. Lucia draagt zoals altijd haar kennis zeer goed over. Bedankt Lucia!
