Teacher Training Courses

Many of you come to work with women in birth because it is a calling that draws you.

Our programs will help you improve your teaching of yoga and meditation to expectant women during all stages of pregnancy and through the early postpartum period. Colette guides you in weaving factual information on the benefits and risks of our current birthing practices along with hands-on skills into the instruction of each prenatal class.

The prenatal yoga teacher training programs are infused with the wisdom of childbirth education and yoga. You will be educated to help women understand pregnancy and prepare for labor and birth. You will also be able to assist women in making informed decisions for their care, which current studies have shown can greatly improve birth outcomes.

Colette Crawford, RN, BSN, has created a highly successful program for prenatal and postnatal yoga. Combined with her experience as a registered nurse in labor and delivery, public health and childbirth education and her over 38 years study of yoga Colette bridges western medicine with alternative healing arts in teaching thousands of pregnant and postpartum women. In addition to producing internationally acclaimed prenatal and postnatal videos and DVD's Colette has contributed to and written articles that have appeared in mainstream and alternative publications.

Colette's philosophy is that birth and parenting are a normal expression of our humanity. C-section rates have soared along with other interventions, like induction, epidural anesthesia, and instrumental delivery, such as vacuum suction, with no improvement in birth outcomes. The majority of women can birth without any interventions.

"We all need to look into another woman’s eyes and see reflected back the trust and confidence that we can do this. We can give birth."

- Colette Crawford
