Jennifer Wolfe’s Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training is designed for Certified Yoga Instructors who wish to add Prenatal Yoga to their teaching repertoire. In her experience teaching yoga for the past 14 years and attending nearly 400 births as a doula and teaching childbirth education, Jennifer has witnessed the powerful impact that Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga can have on a pregnant woman’s health, wellbeing and confidence. The strengthening that occurs in prenatal vinyasa yoga practice prepares the necessary muscles for labor and childbirth, often resulting in shorter labor, less pain, and fewer interventions, including a decrease in the need for Cesarean sections.
Jennifer has created 2 DVD’s, Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga & Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga Short Forms which have been top sellers on amazon.com for the last couple of years and is planning to release a Postnatal Vinyasa Yoga DVD in 2010.
She developed Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga during her own pregnancy when she realized that all styles of prenatal yoga offered, at the time, could not adequately prepare her physically and mentally for labor. She wanted a yoga practice that specifically served the needs of the pregnant woman: one that vigorously prepares women for the marathon event of childbirth, while helping women discover their power and inner strength needed during this transformative period in their lives.
Jennifer found these empowering and strengthening qualities in the soft flow of Vinyasa Yoga. In her Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga trainings, she adapts Vinyasa Yoga for the unique needs of pregnant women, providing a system that works with the pregnant body without sacrificing the intensity that you need to prepare for childbirth. Learning to link breath and movements in a constant flow greatly increases the ability for women to work with their bodies during labor and childbirth, reducing the likelihood that they’ll need medication or other interventions and creating more joyous birth experiences.
