Teacher Training Courses
Many of you come to work with women in birth because it is a calling that draws you.
Seattle Holistic Center offers one of the most comprehensive prenatal yoga teacher trainings available. The prenatal yoga teacher training programs are infused with the wisdom of holistic childbirth education and yoga.
You’ll go beyond the technique of yoga postures while deepening your understanding of pregnancy, labor and birth. Factual information on the current evidence-based data of our modern birthing practices is woven into the instruction of each prenatal class. This helps women to understand what their choices are and to make conscious decisions for their care, which can greatly improve birth outcomes.
This program will provide you with the most complete training available in the specialty area of prenatal and postnatal yoga instruction.
Benefits of taking the course include:
-
Practical teaching experience of yoga and meditation to pregnant and postpartum women
-
Creating a profitable niche in the specialty of pregnancy, labor and birth
-
Personal growth and self-study
-
Offering a service that the women in your community will remember, long after they have given birth!
The Seattle Holistic Center's philosophy is that birth and parenting are a normal expression of our humanity. The majority of women can birth without any interventions.
Seattle Holistic Center is a recognized Yoga Alliance® Registered Prenatal Yoga School (RPYS®).

Seattle Holistic Center has trained yoga teachers, doctors, midwives, nurses, childbirth educators, pregnant women and those interested in pregnancy and birth since 1998. They have come from all over the US and other countries like Canada, China, Taiwan, Germany, Iceland, Croatia, and Vietnam to name some.
Colette Crawford, RN, BSN, E-RYT, founder of the Seattle Holistic Center, 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 40 years of yoga, Colette bridges western medicine with alternative healing arts in teaching thousands of pregnant and postpartum women. Her greatest teacher and the source of constant inspiration on this path is her Guru, Mata Amritanandamayi or Amma, as she is known. "It is through Amma, I am learning the true essence of yoga and spiritual living." Colette is a mother of four and a grandmother.
"I have the unique distinction of being one of Colette's first prenatal teaching students. Although it is hard to find the words to describe my experience; extraordinary, eye opening, challenging, brilliant, empowering, nurturing, divine would be a start. I was then and have been since extremely blessed by Colette's teaching and her guidance. Because of her I have touched the lives of countless women and their families in the last 10 years.
These classes will inspire you to embrace all that is feminine and what Mother truely means. It will give you the tools to provide the women in your community with knowledge and empowerment. If you have it in your heart to connect with women and make a difference in their lives this prenatal teacher training program is for you."
