“This is an unbelievable training that benefits anyone working with pregnant or postpartum people. At first I thought I would use this training to just add to my birth knowledge as a birth worker but now I’m already trying to save for a 200 hour class to offer my community prenatal yoga! If you want to have a sense of community, learn at a reasonable pace, and have fun this is the training for you!”
- Testimonial from one of our recent PYTT Graduates, Dana
