Module One: Anatomy And Physiology And Birth Culture
You will start to explore the in-depth changes to the anatomy and physiology of the pregnant body. We place a particular focus on the abdominal changes and pelvic floor changes and how they can affect pregnancy and postpartum.
This solid foundation of understanding of the anatomy and physiology takes the guesswork and fear out of deciphering which poses will enhance the practice and which can be troublesome for the pregnant and postpartum student.
Module One also includes examination and discussion of the current birth culture and systemic racism found in the medical system in the US.
This module also includes interviews with Lindsey Vestal, Leslie Howard, Isa Herrara, and selected TED Talks and birth documentaries.

What They Are Saying
I have been practicing/teaching yoga for years. I have also had 3 boys now and have experience with childbirth and carrying babies! I truly loved the prenatal teacher training at the prenatal yoga center because I learned so much more about the entire process of pregnancy and beyond and it really deepened my ability to teach prenatal clients and student.
~Kristin McGee, Peloton Yoga Teacher
As a midwife I found this training to be comprehensive and informative with regard to the pregnant body, labor and birth. It was the perfect combination of intense didactic learning and yoga teacher training. I loved the on line component, the required reading, the comprehensive exam required to gain certification- the whole training. Deb & Caprice have created the most comprehensive, evidence-based, pelvic-sound, prenatal yoga teacher training out there. At completion I felt prepared to teach and confident that I could keep my pregnant students safe and prepare them for an active labor.
~Julie Rauschenplat, Midwife, yoga teacher and PYC Graduate
This is an incredibly comprehensive program delivered by experts in the field of prenatal yoga who are also birth doulas and childbirth educators. I could not recommend PYC more highly thank you!

Every Pregnancy Is Different
Every pregnancy is different, and each day of pregnancy may be different from the last, so it is important to communicate with your students about how things are going. Check in with them before and after each class to see what is working and what is not. Empower students to make their own decisions during class as to whether something is working for their bodies or not. Teach them the modifications but stress that it is important for them to listen to their bodies and take rest when needed. It is not a time to force or push something.
At the Costa Rica School of Yoga, we believe it is important to address that a pregnant student may walk into your class at any time. While you wont receive a specific certificate in pre-natal yoga, we believe it is important to educate and equip you with the tools necessary to instruct a prenatal student through your class. We dedicate an entire day of classes to studying the anatomy and physiology of pregnancy discussing modifications and considerations by trimester, and preparing you to ask informed questions of your students.

Where To Begin With Pregnant Yoga Students
When a pregnant woman first enters your class, it is important to talk with them about their specific pregnancy and if they have any complications. You should also confirm with them that they have been cleared by their doctor and it is safe for them to practice yoga. If you as an instructor do not feel comfortable or equipped to keep a student safe in your class, due to complications or risks they are experiencing in their pregnancy you should recommend them to a prenatal class or to another instructor.
