On-demand Advanced Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training with Sally Parkes BSC
– includes module on Abdominal Separation / Diastasis Recti

This on-demand Advanced Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training is presented by Sally Parkes BSc, SYT, EYT-500, RPYT.

This advanced training is designed for, and open to yoga teachers and Pilates instructors (or those with a sound knowledge of yoga), who have a keen interest in antenatal & postnatal education and a passion for sharing knowledge, in order to help people on their postnatal journey.

This training focuses on the anatomy & physiology of the postnatal mother directly after giving birth, into the first six months that follow. It is particularly helpful for yoga teachers and Pilates instructors who would like to offer a more bespoke approach to postnatal care for their clients, especially mothers that have experienced a challenging journey into motherhood and who are experiencing Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation).
