Pregnancy is a very sacred time in a woman’s life. Life is growing inside her body and she is a walking, breathing temple for this life to enter earthside. Everything she surrounds herself with will ultimately be the beginning of her child’s life experience, and future generations to come. Experience the Magic of Transformation!
Mystical Womyn Prenatal training is more than a Prenatal Yoga & Postnatal Teacher Training Course, it is an opportunity to dive deep into the experience of what it really means to be pregnant, in all of its facets. We uncover the “hidden” mysteries of our cycles and rhythms with the earth, moon, and universe.
We live and breathe each of the four phases or trimesters during pregnancy and motherhood while in tune with the four directions of the ancient medicine wheel. Every aspect of pregnancy and prenatal yoga will be incorporated with the goal of feeling fully confident to work with this very special population.

You are the expression of the divine within all of us. You walk on the Earth gently with beauty and grace. You know the world is your creation as you dream your world into being. You know your true soul’s purpose and lives each day blossoming into the path you are meant to walk. You are in harmony with the natural rhythms of life and the cycles of the moon, oceans, and stars. You walk barefoot on the moist Earth and see clearly through the dark, embracing the sweetness of the air as the sun sets and the silence of the night reveals its secrets.
A woman's womb is the ultimate source of creativity, the dynamic flow of life force energy. The sacredness of her nature is expressed through love and magnified in her relationships with others and the natural world.
When she becomes pregnant with the life of a baby within, she radiates as she has never before. Her aura glows and vibrates with her two heartbeats and is felt from all that surrounds her. The wisdom within her ripens as her belly becomes full. This ancient knowledge seeps into her skin from the soil beneath and dances out in the harmony of her voice, felt in the warmth of her actions and is known in the child within. This child is born into the life of a sage.
We invite all yoga teachers, doulas, midwives, birth workers, nurses, mothers, or ANYBODY wanting to learn more about this sacred time.
