Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Lauren, your instructor for this course! My journey into teaching prenatal yoga started with panic during a class where I encountered a pregnant student. Fresh out of my YTT, I realized I didn't feel fully prepared, which pushed me to dive deeper into prenatal and postnatal yoga training.
I became certified and taught around the US, Europe and Bali, and eventually moved to Tahiti, where I created Island Prenatal Yoga in 2019. Since then, I’ve taught over 650 students through our online YTT programs. Practicing yoga during my own pregnancy deepened my passion for sharing the benefits of prenatal and postnatal yoga with teachers and wellness professionals worldwide! I can't wait to connect with you inside the course!
