This training brings together the science of pregnancy and the art of teaching yoga to offer a powerful, practical approach to prenatal practice. Designed for Anusara teachers, trainees, and practitioners, The Yoga of Pregnancy shows you how to align with the natural intelligence of the body as it changes through the trimesters.
