There is a plethora of fear-based misinformation about what pregnant and postpartum people can or can’t do in a yoga practice.
Learn what to do and break through the myths. These experiential workshops will introduce you to Poppy Perinatal Yoga, a practical and empowering approach to pregnancy and postpartum yoga. The yoga practices taught in this approach are founded on four principles: Breathe, Align, Support, and Soften. Feel in your body these four principles woven into an appropriate yoga practice for pregnancy and postpartum. The bottomline goal of the Poppy approach is to 1) help pregnant people prepare emotionally and physically for birth, and 2) help postpartum people adjust to their transformation with more ease and resourcefulness.
Each workshop encompasses approximately 2 hours of breathwork and asana, 20 minutes of meditation, and 40 minutes of Lecture/Q&A.
PLEASE NOTE THESE WORKSHOPS ARE ENTIRELY ONLINE.
