Join Sarah Walsh from Drishti Yoga Teacher Training in collaboration with The Pad Studios for a Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Spring 2019 in San Francisco.
Curious about how to better assist your prenatal students in class? Interested in creating a space for expecting mothers in your own dedicated Prenatal Yoga class?

Learn how empower these mothers-to-be through breath work, movement, labor & delivery techniques and by cultivating a supportive community.
