“Kelly and Lisa’s training was much more than a training embedded with an extensive amount of knowledge and resources for a thorough understanding of pregnancy and the total care of teaching yoga to pregnant persons; it was an initiation and integration of honoring the season of reproduction and the life altering events of pregnancy and childbirth. The container of this training offers participants education, ritual and community in a holistic way where Lisa and Kelly are able to beautifully balance their gifts and backgrounds to offer students the ability to apply their knowledge and experience to enhance the care of birthing peoples in any way they might dream of.”
