Online Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Program

matrika-102

Not only is this a very rewarding specialty, but considering the fact that over 80% of American yoga practitioners are women, it is imperative that all yoga instructors explore ways to support optimal women’s reproductive health for women who choose to attend their classes.  These skills will help inform all of your teaching and the program itself is rigorous and demands personal and professional transformation.r pregnancies and prepare for childbirth.

This intellectual approach to yoga as a science requires self-study and an investigation of the cultural, social and economic values that we hold around fertility, women’s health and specifically reproduction so that we can teach from our hearts.  Informed by contemporary social theory and medical anthropology, also allows Matrika Prenatal instructors to support students in a way that no other method provides support for.  If you are looking for a yoga training that is about memorizing asana sequences, then this is not the program for you.  These personal and professional training programs are transformative on both personal and professional levels and will require consistent commitment to study and practice.

This method, philosophy and approach has been refined over almost 15-years by Sharon Fennimore Rudyk, MA, E-RYT, R-PYT and DONA Trained Birth Doula and enjoyed by thousands of women.

I would be honored to be your guide in working with this incredibly special student population.

 Registration

Before you register for any of these online programs, I strongly recommend that you sign up for my FREE online course “Yoga During Pregnancy” and see how you feel navigating the online program and your ability to access the webnar practice “Tension Relief During Pregnancy” that is offered as a bonus for that course.  This will also give you an idea of my philosophy.  Although this practice is given to you for FREE as part of the course, you may also want to purchase my e-book and audio to get an idea of the Matrika style.  It is $10 for both the e-book and the audio guided practice and this is a minimal investment that will help you make the best decision possible.  Make sure that you explore the curriculum and program details for the program of your choice and see the fine print.  It is very important that you recognize that you are paying for access to an online program and therefore there are NO REFUNDS for any reason.  Please consider your participation before registration and I warmly invite you to contact me personally by phone (412) 855-5692 or e-mail: sharon@yogamatrika.com at any time to discuss your goals and interest in the program.

  4. You should be able to set aside 20-30 hours for each month of your program for working online, reading and writing assignments.  It is important that you put these hours in your calendar and stick to a schedule.  Otherwise, it is unlikely that you will complete your program in time.  If something “comes up” then you must re-schedule your time.

  7. These programs provide an esoteric and intellectual approach to the science and practice of yoga.  This may challenge your current practice or ideas about yoga and meditation.  Personal mentoring sessions are designed to help you incorporate this information into your own practice and unique teaching voice.  Be prepared to be challenged and inspired!
