Pre Natal

Becalmed Pre/Post Natal Yoga Teacher Training
(San Diego's First Yoga Alliance Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training) 
      YogaWell’s Becalmed Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training is one of the most diverse and complete prenatal yoga teacher training programs nationwide. What is more of a union than pregnancy? Learn how to support this sacred feminine journey with yoga (asana, pranayama, meditation, and more). This is an experiential learning-based training that includes lecture, practice, self-inquiry, and group facilitated wisdom. The full training qualifies Yoga Alliance RYTs as RPYTs. A brief 1.5-day workshop (within the training) is offered for those not seeking RPYT designation, but who want the basic knowledge necessary to adapt group yoga asana classes for prenatal students.  The workshop hours qualify for CEUs through the Yoga Alliance.
