British Wheel of Yoga - Pregnancy Yoga Module
with Wendy Teasdill

Course Brief:
An in-depth course which prepares yoga teachers to teach specialised pregnancy yoga classes. The aim is to promote the safe teaching of yoga during pregnancy at all times while equipping teachers with the information and confidence to develop an individual approach. The course usually consists of three weekends which comprise forty two contact hours. Parameters and definite guidelines for safe practice are clearly supplied in the form of detailed handouts on conception, gestation, birth and post-natal conditions relating to both mother and baby, as well as on the appropriate asana and pranayama practices for each stage. Participants are expected to do back-ground reading and complete eight written assignments over the course. Students are expected to do an observed teaching session at the end of the course, and a certificate is awarded upon successful completion.

Participants must be fully qualified British Wheel of Yoga teachers or accredited with the British Wheel of Yoga.

Note: due to circumstances beyond my control, the Clyro module has been re-located and slightly re-scheduled to the Glastonbury area. Ignore the advert in Yoga TWO for this one!

Pilton, near Glastonbury, 2007

Dates: 12th & 13th May; 14th & 15th July, 22nd & 23rd September

The course

This is a non-residential course to be held in Pilton village hall - which has been seriously renovated over the last few years. Though Pilton is famous for hosting the annual`Glastonbury Festival', it is six miles from Glastonbury. Participants would probably prefer to stay in Glastonbury, as it has many B&Bs and caters well for visitors.

For information on places to stay in Glastonbury, go to:

www.glastonbury.co.uk

We can arrange transport, either with lift-shares or extra car- runs, for participants staying in Glastonbury who do not come by car.

Included in the cost is a vegetarian lunch provided on each day of the course, as well as tea and home-made flapjack for the breaks.

We usually get together to eat out together on the Saturday nights of the non-residential courses, but this is neither included in the cost nor obligatory. It is generally quite fun though!

If you have any queries about the course, please email me.
