  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Island Prenatal Yoga RPYT Training was beyond my expectations. The training was very thorough, informative, and included hands on practices to incorporate into my teachings. The information was abundant and well structured. They provided tools to safely and properly teach prenatal yoga to my students. I graduated from this training feeling confident and knowledgeable to teach prenatal yoga."

    -Gabrielle Dondero Luu, RPYT Student

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I absolutely loved my prenatal training with Lauren. The 100% online module made it easy for me to finish the course in my own time. Lauren is extremely thorough in her approach and I felt like I gained so much knowledge. After her training, I felt comfortable and confident to begin teaching prenatal yoga, and I did right away! I continue to teach prenatal yoga to private clients and still use my notes from training as a reference when needed, as the information presented in this training was so helpful.”

    - Summer Hartbauer, RPYT Student

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I did my RPYT with Lauren, Island Prenatal Yoga. We got a well prepared manual with a wide range of important information. This includes Pranayama, Meditation, Asanas, Anatomy, Sequences, Teaching skills etc. and I loved every part of it. All the videos and online lectures were great to get more deep into the topic. Lauren is a lovely teacher with knowledge, a good spirit, a big heart and it is possible to ask her questions anytime. I am so happy that I chose Island Prenatal Yoga as my teaching school for my next step in my yoga journey and say THANK YOU for having me.”

    -Theresa, RPYT Student

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This online course exceeded all expectations. Until 2020 I would have never considered an online teachers training, but Lauren's comprehensive, well structured and easy to follow online course proves that you can get just as much online, than in person. Lauren is a pleasure to listen to and makes everything very easy to understand. I would strongly recommend this to anyone wanting to complete their 85-hour pre/postnatal training.

    -Paige, 85-hour Student

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Lauren is an amazing teacher! It was a pleasure to join the course online with her. The course allowed to gain knowledge about pregnancy and postpartum period and how you can use yoga to help yourself on various levels. Lauren has created an amazing community for teachers and students to exchange experiences. Hopefully someday there will be an opportunity to practice with Lauren in person <3”

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi! I’m Lauren, the creator of Island Prenatal Yoga School! I created these courses to help yoga teachers and yoga practitioners be able to enjoy and safely teach pre and postnatal students!

I remember the first time I had a pregnant student in a group class and how scared I felt, and I never want you to feel that way! This course will teach you everything you need to know about teaching prenatal and postnatal students, whether you're doing it for your own personal knowledge, or maybe you're pregnant yourself, or you want to be able to reach more students- I'm here to help!

CONTACT ME if you have any additional questions about the courses!

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • The Prenatal & Postnatal YTT courses are for anyone who has previously completed a 200-hour YTT program, something similar, or has a regular practice of yoga and an interest in prenatal, postnatal and/or kids yoga.

Please contact us if you have more specific questions if the course would be suitable for you.
